Re: Midtown / Phillips Community - General Topics

Speaking of Honeywell, it was crazy to drive past their huge campus just outside of Glasgow the other day - looks very similar to their old place by the Quarry - low and long.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market

How well positioned are our big three office towers for this new environment? I'm curious if they're so top tier that they'll largely be OK, or if either of them might have big challenges coming their way.

Big Bowl closing makes me sad - it was a very fun college job and I still love the food.

Re: Transit Crime

I've also seen this crackhouse-in-a-blanket situation on the train. I was mortified, and can't imagine how badly I'd think of another city if that happened while visiting. How hasn't been more urgency to immediately stop this, even though I understand some of the challenges?

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News

I was to attend a preview night, and it's a really charming space with a good bit repurposed from the Bacon Social days. Vincent is such a good chef - and their pizza-like dish with onions and cream is amazing, as well as the famous Vincent burger, of course.

Re: 1335 Central – Youngblood Lumber

I'm so excited for all the development finally happening in this little stretch of Central north of Broadway. I've got to imagine the ice arena's days are numbered, too.

Getting so close to my dream redevelopment lots on that stretch of Central. This will be a nice upgrade.

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

There are also obvious concerns about safety, so some urban schools (like Primrose) like to take spaces that aren't directly accessed from the street.

Re: Minneapolis Density and Population Growth (500k, etc)

Having brought friends from Boston (where I currently live) and San Francisco to Minneapolis, they were flabbergasted at how a place with such little street life and so much empty space could be considered a major city. And the thing is, Boston and San Francisco aren't even that big. San Francisco ...

Re: Electric Scooters

Currently near Music Row in Nashville. No exaggeration, there must be more than 75 of these (Birds and Lime) within the four blocks closest to my hotel. I didn't realize the scale of usage outside of MPLS.

Re: Electric Scooters

I rented my first Lime the other day and it felt more sketchy than the Birds. It seemed like there was less foot room and, in general, like it was more dangerous. Did survive scoot from south end of downtown up to Central and 22nd, which felt like an accomplishment.
