I'd assume that part of Acme's profitability is based on a captive audience phenomenon. Because it's sort of isolated, people attending a show there are more likely to do all of their drinking and eating on site -- if they were in a location with more plentiful restaurant and bar options, they'd lo...

Nicollet Outlet Mall.

^I'm in the exact same position. I would really like to buy this spring/summer/fall, and take advantage of the very low interest rates. BUT, the market is just scary right now. Prices are up ~20% over a couple years ago (i.e. $175k house in 2013 is $210k today), and yeah in many places, prices are ...

I will fire up the free trial on that tonight and report back if I can watch live Twins games. And...? I started a Sling trial yesterday and it works great. Twins game looked great despite the team's performance. I did a Playstation Vue trial a while back and that worked great. I cancelled the tria...

I got a notice that a sub will be installing fiber for Centurylink in my neighborhood. 3900 block of 30th Ave S.

I'm interested to see how the retail spaces fill on this one. It's disappointing that the commercial building at Longfellow Station hasn't happened.

What's up with the 6 houses south of Station 38 (across the alley from The Cardinal)? Strange that hasn't developed...surely there was planned to be a second phase of Station 38 there, no? I vaguely remember something drawn up for that spot along with the Cardinal and bus dropoff? I think it had bu...

Awesome! Some great stuff happening in our hood.

Cool pics. I wish that old post office was still standing.

Still waiting for something to open in the Oaks Station Place spot. Serious tax money went here, and what happened to it? What ever happened to the restaurant that was supposed to open there? I'm also disappointed the commercial lot at Longfellow Station still sits empty. Something like Longfellow ...

I keep thinking that one or both of Ryan or the Vikings are going to realize that they need to pony up to pay for this thing, but so far no.

Until they can find a way to profit off of an additional contribution, it ain't happening.

This is anecdotal, but when I worked at a hotel downtown prior to the Block E theaters opening I got asked quite often by guests if there was a movie theater downtown.

Due to incident near 32nd, METRO Blue Line may be delayed. Replacement buses transporting passengers between Franklin and 46th Street.

They used to scan your ticket. Now they scan your phone. What's the big deal?

Not this season, but the few prior, it was a free ride to every Timberwolves game. I just had to show my game ticket when transit cops were going through the train or to the driver when I got on the bus.
