looks like Venn's official. Will be good to see that space finally utilized, and for a brewery fairly close to my home!

This music venue is interesting (capacity 2000). May draw some acts that could easily sell out First Ave (capacity 1550) - but that's also already happening with the Palace theater. This may be a good alternative to acts that would have previously played the State (cap 2000) or Orpheum (cap 2600) bu...

New Bohemia opening a indoor food hall on West 7th near Xcel Energy Center. is this in the new development there?

Wasn't there an agreement to alter the logo on the roof in some way?

I thought so, but maybe it was just not to light them at night.

The Wells Fargo Logos are still there

The new Plex TV service is a lower cost "TiVo style" cable box replacement - it works with cable cards. Interesting product but only useful if you already have a cable sub. I have a plex pass and being able to download stuff onto iPads for my kids to watch while traveling is worth the pric...

Transit App blows it away for anything else.

Isn't this a block away from Tower Games?

Tower Games moved to 39th and Nicollet last year.

State law would require that it have a separate entrance accessible to the street (or skyway perhaps...I'd have to read the exact wording of the statute). It can also be accessible from inside Target, but must be fully enclosed & have doors that close it off from the store, etc (see Uptown Kowa...

Now Edina is moving to full scale blocking in the Parkwood Knolls neighborhood. That will stop everybody, including the GPS routing flow... and just route them elsewhere.

Anecdotally, 47th and Chicago seems to be more compliant with the RRFB then it ever was with the old blinkies (I cross it 3-4 days a week). I'd be curious to see actual data. I'm a big dude and I'm prone to waving like an idiot so they see me, so maybe there's some bias in my experience.

I hope they don't have price floors. it guarantees tons of empty seats, lack of interest and the club ends up giving away lots of tickets to get people there. we had free wolves ticket offers at work every couple of weeks all season. This may not be a problem for the United due to heavier demand in ...

Edina taking additional steps to block traffic through their neighborhoods

I appreciate that Torres Ray changed her position, but I find her "small business" positioning to be suspect. Her district consists of Minneapolis stores that have cover from zoning which basically gives them geographic monopoly, or Richfield, where the stores are run by the city.

The problem is equipment - the Parkway never converted to digital and it's not cheap.

It's an interesting question - the pricing is a lot closer than it was a year ago, at least on the lower tiers. Comcast price still goes up $20+ after a year and requires a contract, but if they're already customers it's tempting to just stay for another year.

Washington County earmarked $2.5MM while complaining about it.

Metro Transit sent some people to Houston to observe Super Bowl transit operations. Some early findings in this strib article. http://www.startribune.com/metro-transi ... 413627623/

Residents seem happy with the traffic calming.

Like a lot of traditional media businesses, they're going to have a demographic problem (they probably already do - guessing most of their subs - print or digital - are 40+ at this point) for which the print business will not be sustainable eventually. I don't blame them for not giving away the farm...
