Harstad said Arby's is not going to rebuild its restaurant, citing concern about the potential for more rioting if the police officers charged in Floyd's death are acquitted. Harstad has yet to find another tenant for ...

Re: Eleven - 1111 West River Parkway - 41 stories / 550'

Coming up Hiawatha it looks like a cluster with Riverside Plaza.

Thanks for the intel, Sam.

Anyone heard anything new about the 38th Street Station apartments? They’ve demolished 2 of the houses behind The Cardinal.

Re: George Floyd murder and aftermath

People have been willfully obtuse about this.
Unfortunately that's where we're at, with everything. Defund the police is a bold phrase. Police reform has been brought up forever, but the reform has been too slow. So we say, let's be bold. It clearly isn't working out.

Re: Uptown Retail & Restaurant News

This place seemed to be on borrowed time even before this year. It was really hot 15 or so years ago, but it struck me as more about drinks and the scene rather than the food, which was better elsewhere (and probably cheaper to boot). I'd bet that many people who loved it in its prime haven't been ...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News

I liked Hopcat. Food was solid and their beer list was better than Cityworks. Prices may have been a bit high. I'm sure their rent was a bit high as well.

West River Parkway is open again as of Monday, at least until 34th Street, where there has been some underground project going on all summer. (Anyone know what they’re doing?)
