Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image

Definitely a difficult time. How is everyone doing today? I’m sad, angry, frustrated, and emotionally exhausted. Doing my best to balance being ally and taking care of myself.

Does anybody know whether the small restaurants - Midori's, Gandhi Mahal, etc. - were damaged? And how about the post office? Gandhi Mahal owner, "Let my building burn." https://www.startribune.com/let-my-building-burn-minneapolis-restaurant-owner-responds-to-protests-and-violence/5708659...

Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 35 stories / 393'

Based on the last few letters included in the packet, it looks like the Twins and the Minnesota Ballpark authority have been the holdup, with various concerns ranging from not wanting to share the Dock Street access point to being worried about a gunman shooting into the ballpark from a high floor ...

Some things I thought of was bowling alley, movie theater, and fitness center. Had never thought of mini storage. That would actually be a great reuse for some of the parking in buildings that don't need as many spaces as they currently have. It would be great if that mini storage using street leve...

I'm glad it's gone. the heavy stream of out-of-towners that frequent the restaurants in that area deserve something that demonstrates the strength of our food scene. I hope Newsroom is next.
