Re: Former Macy's Site

3 million for a prime piece of downtown on light rail seems fair. The port authority will maintain the property until a viable reuse or bold new development emerges. Give it time.

Re: St. Paul Palace Theater renovation

Back in the early 80"s they use to have laser light shows in the Orpheum. There where a couple of record/head shops next to it. Three Acre Woods? St Paul Companies eyed this property at one time if I recall. Glad its still around.

For the first time in about 20 years we have windows in the Lowry at 4th and Wabasha. The boarded up windows were quite the eysore for such a prominent corner.

Re: LPM Apartments - (1368 LaSalle Avenue)

Checking the web cam for this site - this project is really moving along. The weather the past month may have had something to do with it. Should top out by the end of the year. The concrete pumps on these projects(like 432 Park in NYC) are time savers.
