Nah, St. Paul (still across the river)

That makes Five Watt, Hola Arepa, Ramen Kazama, Bad Waitress, Glam Doll, Lu's, Spyhouse, and Revival. Hopin...

Love that there are zero public doors on the entire Chicago Ave blockface! So cool!

Also Rund's Market on North 1st Street has closed. I'm surprised it made it so long after Whole Foods opened, but it's still sad to see neighborhood scale convenience retail close.

This is called Lyndy

I've long thought restriping Nicollet like this would match the way it's currently designed today. Basically advisory bike lanes with advisory left turn lanes to create a slow moving shared space with guides on where to drive/ride.

So is 5th Street just going to remain as is? Weren't there plans to close the section between the park and tracks to cars?

"Don't Coon Rapids Northeast"

The exact design probably won't fit in most Minneapolis intersections, but bits and pieces of it can be implemented at various major intersections, especially where two protected bikeways meet, like at Washington where it meets 3rd or the future Hennepin lanes.

Why would they need a parking variance? Weren't parking requirements eliminated near high frequency transit?

Wow that skyline shots really shows how terrible the roads are in that neighborhood.

I don't think this has been discussed yet here, but I saw some work going on at 620 Olson Memorial Highway today. New windows going in, etc. Looks like it's going to be a couple of charter schools. Remember when an " entertainment complex " was proposed there back in 2011? LOCKED: http://w...

4th Street will be reconstructed in 2018. Fill out this survey and share your thoughts! http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/3383217/4th-Street-Reconstruction-Project The City presented a few options at a recent open house that kept it as a three lane one way. That's unacceptable to me, especially with how...

The southside has picked up...
Blue Door Pub
Mac's Fish and Chips
Town Hall Tap / Town Hall Lanes
Holy Land
Any others?

Eat Street Social is another that comes to mind.

Wedge LIVE is all you need. They're on Facebook, but the real action is on Twitter.

Half serious post right here, but I gotta say, part of me gets frustrated with all these South Mpls restaurants opening up in other parts of the city... Lu's Glam Doll Bad Waitress Revival Hola Arepa Pizzeria Lola (kinda) Makes me feel less special! When are we gonna get an Anchor, or Brasa, or a Le...

Not too familiar with this one, but can you fill us in on how seeking variances to exceed maximum parking and breaking away from the Pedestrian Oriented Overly District standards will result in improvement? (I get that most anything is an improvement to a vacant big box store, but this doesn't sound...

The Target Cafe/Pizza Hut is already closed off. Unfortunately, I'm sure Target sees that space as a nuisance due to the people that hang out there, so I bet they're pretty excited to get rid of it.
