Re: 1368 LaSalle Ave development

Speaking of the strip mall - I'm more happy with the new Lund's Liquor store - I've frequented the liquor store by SA as well as the Lowry Hill liquor store - neither one having invested a dime in store improvements - and on top of that the cashier's are less than friendly for sure. Going to Lunds -...

Re: Loring Park Office Building Apartments

Work on the front steps being done now - these stairs were in such disrepair it was really sad. Such a grand entrance to this building that was really neglected as an office building - even the sign on the front of the building reading Loring Park Office Building was cheap looking and not fitting wi...

Re: 1368 LaSalle Ave development

Someone should have asked those two guys standing at the corner of the gas station.....bet they would have had some answers about the project. That's funny - I would not be surprised if SA, the creepy liquor store and others get a little bit of a face lift a couple years from now. With that new fan...

Re: 1368 LaSalle Ave development

There is something going on at that lot - this morning you can see a Braun Intertec truck and a backhoe on the far end of the lot. There is also a sign on the lot that one half of the lot should not be parked in on June 14th and the opposite end should not be parked in today. You can also see some f...

Re: 1001 Nicollet - New Target Building

I know they have been doing things on the interior and in the back - but this is the first work being done on the exterior front of the building that I've seen.

Re: Loring Park Office Building Apartments

I walked by the Loring Park Office Building last night about 10:00 - they had some interior lights on so captured a few images of the 1st floor facing the park - these appear to be studio apartments - long, narrow units. The shower/bath unit is visible in 2nd photo on the right side. http://www.twin...

Re: Loring Vue Apartments

A quick photo update - the 2nd floor on the east side of the building is coming along well. This is the ceiling of the 2nd floor/floor of the 3rd level shown here.

Re: Uptown Restaurant News

I would love to see that intersection of Franklin and Hennepin undergo some sort of transformation - those old brick apartments buildigns are very nice - but in need of repair - some new windows, paint, rennovations to the building and lots would really make that an interesting corner.

Re: Loring Park Office Building Apartments

New bathroom shower units being delivered this morning - seems a bit odd, didn't think they were that far along in the interior but who knows. Apparenlty no fancy tiled shower/bath areas for these apartments.

Re: Loring Park Office Building Apartments

A couple more images from this morning and this afternoon. On my walk to work today they had some of the large windows on the 2nd floor open - something I've never seen when it was office space -they were closed all the time. It will be interesting to see what type of windows they install into the n...

430 Oak Grove - (430 Oak Grove Street)

Walked by the office building this morning and took a quick snap shot through one of the windows on the south side - the first floor is taking shape - this was fully clear space a few weeks ago and work has been done to start putting up the interior walls. http://www.twincitiesphotography.com/photos...

Re: Permissions & First Posts

Thats exactly what I was referring to regarding the width of an image - it is cut off after about 700 pixels wide. Given that this is 2012 and most people now have much larger monitors and resolutions than they did 5 years ago - some of these themes do not seem to keep up with those changes - Thanks...

Re: Loring Vue Apartments

Agree totally - that parking lot was an eyesore - I think this is going to really be a nice looking building when done that breathes some 'life' into this corner with people, lights glowing in windows, etc.
