Re: Mall of America - Bloomington

It seems like the concept of having grocery stores is foreign to most mall developers today, but down in Australia, it's not. Take for example Chadstone, the largest mall in Australia. Can you spot all the grocery stores there? Not to mention two different chains owned by the same company?

Re: Google Maps

Apparently there is a new satellite view available, but only on certain devices and in certain locations. I can get new satellite pictures of the Twin Cities on my tablet, but not on my Google Chromebox. Anyone else having trouble?

Chick Fil A is coming to Culinary on North. Couldn't tell you the date when it opens, because I couldn't find any information.

The first of the new pieces have been put up on the western end and it looks even tackier than the 90's look it's replacing.

Re: Saint Paul - General Topics

The old Diva's on Geranium and Rice has been bulldozed recently. Have no idea what will go there. Maybe more parking for the small grocery store that stands next to it.

Re: Public Transit News and Current Happenings

This has bothered me for sometime, but the so-called temporary detour of route 68 on Jackson Street in St. Paul is still ongoing. I didn't get a clear response on why the detour was in effect when I asked an operator last year and an wondering when it will stop.
