Re: Hampton Inn & Suites - (19 8th Street North)

I did. I saw a chain link fence surrounding the parcel and construction equipment on site.

Re: Minneapolis Density and Population Growth

Also, the chains to which you refer are all local businesses. I support Dunn Bros and Lunds over Starbucks and Sam's Club when I can. *My bad! A friend correctly pointed out that you probably meant Whole Foods. Thats legit. I would stand firm on my thoughts on Dunn Bros though. Despite being a chain...

Re: MSP Airport

Spirit adds DTW to its list of destinations from MSP. http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2014/02/13/spirit-adds-nonstop-flights-detroit-msp.html Also, this makes me want to fly Sun Country even more :) http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2014/02/13/surly-beer-goes-a-mile-high-with-sun...

Please back off CLF friends. His personal concerns are valid. @clf, what was this company's other project?

TC, do you know why Miami or Phoenix don't have CSAs? I just noticed that on the map.

Re: Target Center Renovation

I'm going to side with Mullen on this. I would argue AEG, the Lynx/Wolves and the city are only responding to what so many citizens said about the new Viking's stadium being so expensive. It seems like a no-win situation for the developers. I empathize with worry that people now have that this is wi...

Re: Northstar

Touche Matt :-) Tom, I still hold out hope. 3100 riders a day is nothing to scoof at in my opinion and the improvement is what I find most encouraging. Remember, this is literally a "train to no where." :) Imagine what the numbers would be if it went all the way to St Cloud. I would argue ...

Not MSP, but MN airports. St. Cloud is getting 2x daily service to O'Hare on United.

Lake Hiawatha and Nokomis are named Rice and Amelia on that map. Anyone know when the names were changed?

Re: Franklin & Lyndale Redevelopment

I'm missing the drug activity too. I walk this intersection everyday and have not seen anything. Granted I may be missing things, but nothing has stood out in my mind. By drugs, do you mean pot or something more insidious? If it's the former, I would say EVERY area of Dinkytown would be a hotbed of ...

Re: Public Transit News and Happenings

I am all for rear door exit, but at least in the winter this is sometimes not possible. To help this along we would need to make sure both de-bording areas are cleared of snow. As of now, usually only the front door is clear.

Re: Three24 - (324 First Street North)

Agreed. I think this project feels the most satisfying because the site sat unfinished for so long.
