Thanks!!!!

I thought the tunnel was for the train!!!!
Thanks for clearing THAT up too!!

no, the train will be in a trench.

I was recently at a performance in Antonello Hall at the MacPhail Center for Music. The seating has a great view of the Ceresota building and as I was watching the performance, I was imagining how interesting it might be to have a window in the Ceresota that could have a rear view overlook for any o...

that rendering shown in the strib is so horrible that the actual building could only look better. let's hope it looks significantly better. It will be so nice to have this space active again but i hope they take the time to do it right...

FYI, it looks like construction will be going for a while into winter. I think they stopped by this date last year: City of Saint Paul <cityofsaintpaul@public.govdelivery.com>: The Metropolitan Council has requested a sound level variance for construction work associated with the Central Corridor Pr...

it appears that the tracks are embedded now at MLK.

i think st paul got rid of parking minimums citywide a few years ago...

it would be great if this was true. definitely an eyesore block.

I can't tell you how angry I'll be if the stadium has a Cowboy-stadium style jumbotron hanging over the field, as a few of those rendering suggest.

Yes, i don't like the idea of a 'jumbotron' creating shadows on the field.
