Re: Junction Flats - (643 Fifth Street North)

I know this topic has been quiet for awhile but thought I'd give some first-hand experience of the noise levels heard at Junction Flats from the Holiday car wash. My wife and I currently live in ElseWarehouse and are contemplating moving to Junction Flats and the units we've looked at are directly o...

Re: 729 Washington Av N

Unfortunately, this park proposal isn't family-friendly. At the minimum it needs a set of swings and a climbing/sliding facility. If we're serious about attracting families to the North Loop, playground equipment is a must. There is a playground by the river. Yes, but the whole complaint has been t...

Re: 729 Washington Av N

Just my personal opinion but I can't imagine a lot of families really wanting to live in the North Loop area (even if we added a lot more park area)...I can see why they want to live in the 'burbs (can just let the kiddos out in the back yard, more room to run around, larger homes typically, easier ...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News

I was in at Atmosfere last weekend in Calhoun Square, great store by the way, and the owner mentioned to me that they were opening a second store in the North Loop. It is going to be on Washington. Can't remember exactly where, but I think close to Smack Shack. This will be a great addition to the ...

Re: 729 Washington Av N

Well hopefully the restriping plan for Washington Ave. goes through this summer so that crossing the street isn't akin to crossing a freeway lol...it's bad down here, especially during rush hour and when the restaurants are busy.

Re: 729 Washington Av N

Really not happy about it being such a tall building across the street from ElseWarehouse (where we currently live). We're only on the 3rd floor and it will completely block out any possible sun we get...will probably be looking to move. I doubt it will block that much light..... I imagine it depen...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

Welcome, and glad you like your new digs. I've always thought it would be nice to live, or maybe just have a vacation home, in a small Wisconsin town along the Mississippi River. Curious which town you lived in, and how you liked it. We lived in Alma (across the river and down a bit from Wabasha).....

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

"Welcome to the forum! I think a lot of us here would be interested in hearing your take on living in North Loop. If you don't mind sharing, we have a general topic called "North Loop Neighborhood" where you could post that. It's fascinating to me how we're essentially building a new...

Re: 729 Washington Av N

I'm quite interested in this project as we're currently ElseWarehouse residents...plus it will be interesting to see how it affects our parking situation (inside parking is full here and our 2nd vehicle is parked in the exterior 729 lot).
