Re: Fiber Internet and TV Services, Cord Cutting

Wow, they sure don't like Greater Longfellow.
It sounds like they're having trouble finding a good property for all their core equipment in that neighborhood.

Honestly I think I'd be more excited if they had a webcam, I sort of forget about it until I drive by.

Does the alcohol content of the beer have any serious disinfecting properties or no?
No, there's not enough alcohol. It's actually the opposite, the yeast can speed up line gunk.

Re: Fiber Internet and TV Services, Cord Cutting

Yep Centurylink showed up trying to get me on their gigabit fiber/prism TV thing a couple of weeks after my neighborhood was put on the map. It's not very price-competitive, but they do offer a TV package which USI doesn't have (yet).

Re: DTE: Wells Fargo, Radisson Red, Edition Apts & Millwright Building

I like the exterior. But I do want to know how a restaurant could be inspired by "Minnesota street food". Is it going to be a taco place?
The slideshow at least said "world street food".

I'm assuming you mean their TDM (non-fiber fixed-point wireless) project; the sservice coverage map is here: https://tdm.usinternet.com/coverage-map/

Re: AC Marriott Hotel (401 Hennepin Ave / Andrews Hotel site)

What's so strange is that they continue making improvements on the inside. The "EDM" dance floor has a ton of new lights and a new bar, the video bar is relatively new, and the "back room" through the men's bathroom is now open to all and also has a new bar and some touch-ups.

Re: Target Center Renovation

I've been to the Target Center three times now since I moved up here and the security people always look and act like it's the first crowd they've ever seen. Yelling at people about forming lines when there are stanchions sitting unused in corners, opening and closing entrances, and wide-eyed panic....

Re: Fiber Internet and TV Services, Cord Cutting

Mine was turned on Friday and I cancelled the Internet part of my Comcast package the same day. Just waiting on their Fiber TV product to get rid of Comcast completely. Have you looked into either Sling TV or Playstation Vue? Those paired with an antenna should be able to get most cable channels. (...

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates

very fast surface for their turf
What makes it "fast"? Is it the rubber fill, or the type of fiber used for grass? I'm assuming "fast" means you can run faster on it or something?

Re: Fiber Internet and TV Services, Cord Cutting
