Oh come on, don't allow me to "get your goat" so much!I don't agree that there will "never" be development here, but John's "A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes" hyperbole is too much for me.

Especially if/when gateway park is completed, and the parking ramp next to the Post office is turned into a park... (supposedly in the next 10-15 years)Oh come on, don't allow me to "get your goat" so much!I don't agree that there will "never" be development here, but John's "A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes" hyperbole is too much for me.I think 222 is going to be the first of several projects in this vicinity. The area is a fantastic location to live in. There are quite a few vacant or surface parking lots around this project and it's hard to imagine this great project won't make those properties more valuable. It's inevitable.
Don't you dare underestimate the Whole Foods Effect.
Amen.I realize Whole Foods is spendy, but it's what you put in your body. I'm skeptical of a large chunk of our mainstream food supply, which has been optimized for shelf life and is far removed from anything you'd recognize on a farm. I realize I'm blessed to be able to afford Whole Foods and some people simply do not have that choice, but it sure is cheaper to eat quality food prepared at home than to go out to eat every night!
I can't help but think with the increased intensification of this area (particularly this site) that the City should scale down the roads. A major road diet appears to be needed. I question downtown's large one-ways and 4 to 6 laners and how they'll interact with the increased population.It's cool to see up close how they're integrating the old parking garage into the new structure.
yes, according to this site the description to the pictures confirms it is the corner of Washington and HennepinWhere are the entrances to Whole Foods going to be? I assume Wash and Henn, but will the store run all along the Washington side to 1st Ave and have an entrance there as well? This is important for my walking home grocery shopping convenience.
You could not be more right; plus the hot deli always has a yummy selection. A whole foods is better than no foods, though.I just don't really like the selection at Whole Foods... And Lunds really isn't that expensive y'all. Everyone always says that...but yesterday I went there for 4 items, all of which happened to be cheaper than the same items at Rainbow last week. Sure, to be cheaper than Rainbow isn't all that common at Lunds, and certain things are expensive...but price differences on the majority of items aren't that much from store to store really. Also, Lunds has really good sales on on meat, produce, deli, that puts them in line with cheaper competitors, but the items are much higher quality! You can get some really good stuff at Lund's at good prices if you look around. I am probably a retail buyers worst nightmare...I will go to 3 different stores to get the best price on all the items I want if I have time...and some of those are always at Lund's.
Anyway, that said...I am certainly excited to have Whole Foods at this corner! I am sure it will be popular.
Sorry, I hate even more. Stick construction the Gateway, still stunned. It still looks like we're in St. Louis Park.yes, according to this site the description to the pictures confirms it is the corner of Washington and HennepinWhere are the entrances to Whole Foods going to be?
