Peavey Plaza
Re: Peavey Plaza
Will the holiday market move back downtown once this is completed?
Re: Peavey Plaza
I was so excited to see this. I haven't seen them silver like that since I was a kiddo. Very nostalgic.
Re: Peavey Plaza
It absolutely blew my mind when I first learned that they were intended to be silver.

Re: Peavey Plaza
I really hope so. Loring Park is not the ideal location.Will the holiday market move back downtown once this is completed?
Re: Peavey Plaza
When I walked by the plaza last night it appeared to be just about complete. All the fountains were on and the pool was full.
It will be so nice to have this space operational again.

Is that going to be before or after the Sommerfest?

Re: Peavey Plaza
Just finished checking it out after the ceremony. It's really wonderful, the fountains are such a statement and the presence of water is invigorating. It lacks the polish of a sparkly new park but maintains the character and history of the city and architecture. Children flailed around in the now shallow pool, people in accessibility devices rolled around and walked their pets. What an amenity for downtown.

Nice to meet you today Nathan. If people have a chance to check it out, The fountains and steel tubular sculptures are lit up at night and look fantastic!Just finished checking it out after the ceremony.

With the opening of the restored Peavey Plaza, I think we are really beginning to see Nicollet Mall truly come back to life after several decades of decline Yay!

Re: Peavey Plaza
What's going on with Peavey Plaza? They waited until July 2nd to turn on the fountains. I just walked by at 7:30 pm and the fountains were not on. I stopped by before 8:30 the other evening and the fountains were off.
This is probably the best public space in the city. It's a shame it feels like it's always shut off. It's a shame they are limiting the public's ability to enjoy it.

Re: Peavey Plaza
I think the MN Orchestra is going to be giving free concerts there soon.
