Looks like a section on the Hiawatha LRT Trail that is missing lights will finally be added between 11th Ave S and E 26th St.

Great news! It can be a little unnerving riding through there at night sometimes.

Let's put the $200 mil towards some BRT. We already have 2 streetcars going through downtown.

WHS, I think I agree. Republic Uptown is not a 'fun' place at all. Happy Gnome, Muddy Pig, Devil's Advocate, etc. are far more enjoyable places to be if you are looking for extensive beer list. A true story about Republic: when the Seven Corners location opened, some clever kid at the law school no...

Is it really a civic emergency if we lose a pro sports team? Sad? Sure. Civic emergency? Not even close. I don't recall anyone saying it was a "civic emergency". But for a large portion of the business community, for a northern climate city, with no mountains or oceans to appeal to job re...

Wow, I guess we don't have too many golfers in here. It would be shame to lose any of the courses. Many of us still consider them assets, as decrepit as they are becoming. Too bad we couldn't have put more of the golf profits back into the golf courses! Or at least some new range balls at Hiawatha. :P

There are some awfully ugly houses on that block too.

Currently the goal is for a new restaurant called Locavore to open sometime around April in the space. They will specialize in local sourced ingredients.

My southbound Blue Line train was 5 minutes late today. Thanks, Green Line!

TCF would be a great place to play, but I think they have an agreement with the neighborhood as to a certain number of events a year?

Longfellow/Nokomis Messenger reports this is 70% occupied already and they are still working on the retail component.

I bet it will look great when the sky is purple.

Damn, who knew I was so damn luxurious. LPM has the appliance set I put in my house here in Standish. My sink is an undermount though. Should've dropped it in I guess.

So waiving the property taxes costs 90k but saves a million and people are going to whine about it?

Who is saving the $1 million?

Build a new theater at Calhoun Square? I love the Lagoon and indies. We have plenty of other theaters for blockbusters.

Yeah, the on-time performance was pretty bad this winter. Even on "nice" days. I also had a couple times where a train was supposedly delayed 10-15 minutes and it ended up being a half hour. I think it would be best to overestimate the delay. I would've taken a bus in both cases had I had ...

They've started work on the medians.
