Nice Newsdump to announce the closure during the boy's hockey tournament.

The Happy Gnome will close this Sunday. According to this KARE11 article, they decided not to renew their lease on Selby.

Development of walmart seems most imminent. (I went to their liquidation sale last week. felt like a cool post apocalyptic type scenario. good deals if anyone's in the market for an electric forklift or some weird old break room furniture) Which is kind of funny since the store closed in September....

There are rumors floating around that the (recently renovated) Midway Cub Foods will be closing. I don't know how much stock to take in that, but TCF customers have received notice that their in-store branch will be closing. Would love to hear of a proposal from Kraus Anderson on their recently acq...

Prepare thyselves, it's coming!

Blope.

I wonder if all this maneuvering is in response to the following report: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-floats-proposal-that-would-eliminate-42-minor-league-teams/ Yeah, it's possible the Saints might be moving into "Affiliated Minor League Baseball" and thus the Metro Miller...

The old Ecolab building(the Northern one of the Ex-Ecolab complex) will become apartments and a grocery store:

And yes, the buyer and developer is a former convict.

Speaking of jersey barriers, NE corner of Rice and Como has them surrounding the old Stahl lanes footprint. Anyone have info on what's going up? Combination coffee shop and dialysis clinic. Whenever the coffee shop opens, it won't be Tim Hortons. The franchisee that operated them closed all of them...
