More love for 38th St at Chicago Ave: http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcms1p-150249.pdf The proposal converts the old Furniture Liquidators building (next to Smoke in the Pit) into an 8-15 retailer shopping center. There would be a 5500 sq ft open sales area...

Three concept plans for the "Calhoun-Harriet Master Plan" are now available: https://www.minneapolisparks.org/project_updates/2015/10/09/1132/calhoun-harriet_concept_plans_available_for_public_review_and_comment They also included a survey to garner feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r...

I don't remember anything ever being here either.

I'm really curious now. Is there any way to find out what was last here, and when?

Not sure if this goes here so please feel free to move. Some very interesting numbers. http://www.rejournals.com/2015/10/06/rental-crisis-in-the-united-states/ Feel free to move this as well if it's not in the right place: http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/morning_roundup/2015/10/edina-may-let-...

Interesting coincidental article:

"Downtown St. Paul offices are fuller than any time since 2001
Demand helps, but decline mostly due to conversions of offices to housing"

There's a couple Google matches:

Someone should call one of these brokers.

https://i.imgur.com/8asaxPnl.jpg Finer Meats is waiting on inspector approval for their food truck, which they will start serving out of from out in front of their shop. Another exciting addition to this area. The food truck's been in operation for a few weeks now, sitting in front of the store. I ...

The very last paragraph of the september 9 City Pages article about Lowertown mentions a new restaurant opening up (not World of Beer) by a local chef which will face Mears park. I have to guess that it would be the old "Bin" spot on the corner? Any intel on this? "Bin" (or was ...

Wait, you went on an entire defense of advertising and then ended with "Does anyone who pays for a startribune.com subscription..."??? No. I expressed a change in heart about the expectation that news content on the Internet should be free. I'm willing to pay for my consumption with a sub...

I have an online subscription and use ad block. They they are forcing me to stop loading the entire page before the ad blcok message appears.

Rats. If not for that they may have got an additional subscriber today...

To be clear, I wasn't intending to be rude or "snarky." I'm just pointing out that, given those conditions, jw138 is not offering the Star Tribune any value, so it doesn't seem unfair that the paper is withholding its product in this case. No, I understand. I thought about it a while and ...

https://i.imgur.com/5qSZsvS.png While I can maybe understand needing to make money via online subscriptions (I still won't pay to see more than 10 articles a month though), what I can't understand is startribune.com now refusing to show content with an installed ad blocker in my web browser. I cons...

There was no mention of 4-way stop signs at either intersection.

If I understand correctly from your post, there are talks for bike lanes on 38th, but are not being included in this bridge project? Why is that? Or am I misunderstanding? They sounded like separate projects that could potentially be done at the same time if ready when the bridge work begins. The M...

Some notes I jotted down:

Sorry about polluting with non-BRT related notes from the meeting. They crossed over several potential target threads.

CANDO hosted a community meeting with Minneapolis/MnDOT this evening focusing on the East 38th Street bridge work over 35W that will be done as part of the global 35W/Lake St transit access project. There's quite a number of smaller projects bundled up into the super-project and it sounded like the ...

MLB.tv + VPN trickery is your only option if you're a hardcore Twins fan. I did this a few years ago on an old PS3 and was very happy. At the time, the PS3 MLB.tv application was far superior to the Roku version. It was very painful watching games on the Roku. I've no idea if they've improved things...

That's a great article, but all I want to know is when they're going to add my block of my street to their schedule. I know I've said this a million times in this thread alone, but seeing fiber going in one block east of me and stopping a block and a half north is torture . Not that it's going to h...

An interview with USI's CEO, Joe Caldwell: http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/print-edition/2015/08/28/us-internet-corp-joe-caldwell-co-founder-interview.html The article starts off with: Next up for the business: seeking approval to sell TV service in Minneapolis. But the only further detail was...

This was about as good as I could do driving by on Friday.
