Re: North Loop Neighborhood
For any drug store need I have to go to Nicollet Mall, which isn't always easy. If I lived in North Loop I'd be pretty annoyed by that. I think our urban neighborhoods have a little ways to go in the "day to day livability" department. My wife and I have lived in the North Loop for the pa...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
Minneapolis has a puzzling paucity of drug stores. In downtown DC there was a CVS on literally every block in the vicinity of my office. For any drug store need I have to go to Nicollet Mall, which isn't always easy. If I lived in North Loop I'd be pretty annoyed by that. I think our urban neighbor...

Re: District 600 - 600 5th Street North
So does anyone know what the holdup has been with this place? I don't think anyone has moved in yet?! I live at Junction Flats and never see any lights in the rooms (except for one that is probably "staged")...did they not pass inspection or something?

Re: 729 Washington Av N
I used to live right across from Bunkers and when this was proposed I had some concerns about the scale of it (and it's gotten even larger since then)...I think the first 4 floors are solely because of the extra parking needed because they're losing a ton of parking due to the construction. And I do...

Re: 729 Washington Av N
Actually the loss of sunlight was more of the concern (we didn't have a great city view out our window lol)... I'm just thinking that it's going to become more "tunnel-like" down in that area now...and that's why we continue to rent - we can move around to a unit that gives us a better vie...

Re: 729 Washington Av N
I guess I'm one of the few that does have some concern with the height of the building in the neighborhood...but my concern was mainly due to living right across the street (ElseWarehouse) from the proposed development and losing our view of the city (and the wonderful amount of sunlight we got in o...

Re: District 600 - 600 5th Street North
I can look at my bedroom office window at the side that faces 5th St. and it just seems to be barely moving...I know they've been doing a ton of drywall on the inside but they seem to have a really light crew doing exterior work. I did notice that they started putting some brick on the side that fac...

Re: Minneapolis Fiber Internet and Cable Services
I'm quite happy with the speed increase from Comcast...I was looking at switching to Centurylink fiber (available in our building in the North Loop), but CL doesn't offer a basic, inexpensive cable package like we're getting with Comcast so for now I think we'll stick with what we have (100 down now!)

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
Else charged 150 for 2 bedrooms and 100 for 1 bedroom... They were basically full apartments with a kitchen.
I think it's 90 for the 1 bedroom here at JF.

314 6th Ave N goes to planning commission as well. Featuring a 3 bedroom apartment! http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcms1p-143406.pdf Pretty interesting that this project has "convertible" units and guest suites. I love the guest suite idea, never...

Re: Minneapolis Fiber Internet and Cable Services
I know at Lime we are only allowed to have shitty MultiBand, and it's been terrible. They did some upgrades a bit ago and it improved some, but I was really kind of surprised they would have such an awful carrier be the only option. We currently live at ElseWarehouse (another Greco property) and we...

Re: Minneapolis Fiber Internet and Cable Services
That's interesting...I'm assuming because the CenturyLink deal was approved by the city that USI wants to try and get in on the action as well. Wonder who they're partnering with as I'm sure they don't have the contracts/licensing already negotiated with all of the media providers?

Surprised Else doesn't have it (since they're basically right next to each other)...I have some friends that live in North Loop (Solhavn) and their building has USI.

Re: Minneapolis Fiber Internet and Cable Services
Any plans for USI to get into the North Loop anytime soon? The building I'm currently in (ElseWarehouse) maxes out with Comcast at 50 but we're moving to Junction Flats and CenturyLink gigabit is available there. Would be nice to give them some competition and there are tons of apartments here...
