Just wanted to remind everyone that the Minnesota Orchestra's truly historic concerts in Havana will be broadcast live tomorrow and Saturday evenings on MPR. Here: http://www.classicalmpr.org/ There is a nice article in the New York Times about the trip: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/15/arts/music/...

It's a real snoozer of a building.

Non-compete clauses are enforceable in Minnesota but 15 years could be deemed unreasonable by a court.

However, that video was posted a year after Ryan announced the Wells Fargo project and published the renderings of the lush park. Furthermore, the renderings were released in May of 2013, three months after Hennepin County stated that closing Park and/or Portland was a non-starter.

Archiapolis never argued it was a conspiracy. And I agree with most everything he's said. The rendering of the park - from the very beginning - should have been ghosted in. In my career as a 3d Artist I have never been asked to fabricate such an elaborate context (Enhance? Sure. Suggest? Sure. Make ...

I'll say they are doing a better job at getting retail opened up than Opus has and they have the prime location!! They have had 8 months, plus the time when they were working to land tenants before construction was complete. So in a years+ time they have not done a very strong job with marketing th...

Eggy's in Chicago is only open from 7:30 am - 3 pm. Pretty limited hours. I wonder if the LPM location will be open longer to compete with the Nicollet Diner down the block and around the corner. Similar menus too.

This was the link I was referencing... This one is the building that Andrew Kunanan murdered those two men. I worked in an office across the street when this occurred. This section of the thread may be covering multiple stories at once... either way let's not talk about that horrible thing... Sorry...

That building was where Andrew Kunanan killed two people and then went on the murdering spree ending in his shooting Versace in South Beach... That's not the building. That's the building where the New French Cafe was. Cunanan killed Jeff Trail and Dave Madson in Dave's loft a block north of here (...

I'm liking the undulating canopy which clearly employs the new anti-gravity technology.

Just wanted to say it was nice meeting some of you for the first time and seeing others again.

I probably should have asked the architect which firm designed the base and which one designed the tower, but it might have sounded snarky.

I'll be there! Black leather jacket & cream hooded sweatshirt.

I think all of this should be forwarded to WCCO or KARE. There is obviously a systemic problem with LinkedIn and fake profiles. I've been a member of Linked In for many years and I can't find any way or reporting "bad" links. This could be a national story.

Unlike the Nic, I'm really looking forward to this addition to the skyline. It will be nice to have a white/light colored building on this end of town.

All of the Yamasaki and pseudo-Yamasaki buildings on Washington are white. Just sayin'

LinkedIn also has a "Skyscraper Society" group. Ryan and June have several posts there:

I count 12 restaurants within 600 feet of LPM.

And WTF...Did they give up on lighting the crown?

Literally an 8-minute walk to Macy's. Yeah, that's too far from the core for fatso Americans.
