As an exurbanite, I use this MicroCenter once or twice a year specifically for electronics purchases in volumes I would not trust transiting on public transit, both physically and in cash value. A PC case box is very awkward to carry even if it's legitimately the only thing you're carrying. Also, du...

Outside of regional demographics, not sure how that makes sense.

It's basically never been busy anytime I've needed to go to that specific Target or somewhere else in the north end of the mall.

They'll probably only push if they can't find a suitable tenant for the JCPenney spot. The area around that (plus the back half of the Target lot) and the ramp outside of Von Maur are likely going to be the only significant empty swaths of parking lot left with Scheel's opening.

I hope Eden Prairie Mall takes a queue from Southdale and starts to develop the outlots with housing. The JCPenney at EP Mall is within a 1/2 mile walkshed of the Town Center light rail station. JCP is also immediately next door to existing grocery in Target and across 78th from Cub. Walking friend...

Is the southwest metro really so lucrative for Costco that they need to make their 10th store a second one in this corner of the metro? Wouldn't Lino Lakes/Blaine, Plymouth, or Lakeville make far more sense based on where they already have stores? This isn't even 10 miles from the Eden Prairie Costc...

The whole constitutional route thing is definitely way outdated and but probably won't ever have the political will to remove it.

Maybe it's being rebuilt for a higher clearance of the road? It could also be because there are funds for it and replacing it was a concession to get the rail company on board or back on board with the project.

This was specifically in response to Mackenthun's considering moving the highway. There were already some commercial uses that had located there, but there was a general fear that having the grocery store move would really impact the downtown. The McDonald's was still in the future, as was the car ...

Some initial concepts for downtown Chaska's City Square West redevelopment have been released. (West side of 41 between 3rd and 4th Streets across from the park). http://www.chaskamn.com/DocumentCenter/View/2276 Is that proposal supposed to be for the whole block? Wish there was a plan to preserve ...

Waconia is a charming lakeside town with a largely urban land use and a walkable street grid. Its wellbeing and bucolic way of life is threatened by sub-urban sprawl. Very late with this, but having moved to Waconia when I was 7 and having lived there until 2 years ago, it hasn't been predominantly...
