Re: 800 Washington Ave - 14 stories - 173' (Guthrie Ramp liner development: Reloaded)

It seems to defy common sense subsidizing housing in one of the most expensive parts of town. Your dollar could go so much further in less expensive areas, but alas social engineering always wins out over logic.

Oh please, tear it down. Free up that block so something nice can be built.

Re: Thrivent Headquarters Block - 6th St and Portland Ave

I'm always surprised by the comments on this thread. I think it's a very attractive building and look forward to it, conversely I think the new city building is absolutely disgusting and will probably rank as one of the three ugliest buildings downtown. To each their own I guess.

The Larking - 800 Park - 17 stories - 172'

They did several core samples on the Wells Fargo parking lot on 8th between Portland and Park on Wednesday. Anyone want to speculate?

The sooner the Nicollet-Central streetcar idea dies, the better.
Amen!

Re: Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) Clinic Expansion

Anyone know when HCMC built a new helipad on the main building near the red entrance, and stopped using the top of their big parking ramp across Park?
They finished it right before construction began on the clinic. They still occasionally use the helipad above the parking ramp.
