Re: Pedestrian Safety and Infrastructure Improvements

I also went to the meeting last night regarding the pedestrian fatality at 54th and Penn. Sat in the front row, Hi! There were several comments about traffic flow in the area not being fast enough, people being upset with traffic snarls (I think that this is drivers annoyed that they have to wait fo...

Re: Southwest - General Topics (Linden Hills, Fulton, et al)

Hey Bob, I really don't like when people make negative blanket statements towards people of means. Everybody is different and should be given a chance on whether or not they are a decent person. Both people of means and little means can be jerks. I don't consider myself an exclusionary person but I ...

Re: Southwest - General Topics (Linden Hills, Fulton, et al)

David, I see your point that the author may truly believe that a 4 story condo building should not get built on that parcel of land. What I don't think is appropriate is to throw out qualitative catchphrases in the letter with the intent of them being read as factual statements by the uninformed. Pr...

Re: Southwest - General Topics (Linden Hills, Fulton, et al)

A cute, disingenuous article about a potential condo development in Linden Hills. The author clearly thinks he's being so giving and open minded about allowing new development as long as it fits his definition of what is appropriate. http://www.southwestjournal.com/voices/2018/01/choosing-neighborho...

Re: Rex 26 - 2601 Lyndale Ave S

Aldi does have great products at amazing prices. They're products are oftentimes a dollar less than anything comparable anywhere else. A pound of almonds is a $5 vs. $6 at Trader Joes. A dozen free range organic eggs is $3 vs $4 at Trader Joes. You get 2 lbs of dried black beans for the price of 1 l...

Re: Milwaukee

One of my good friends lived in Milwaukee 2 miles north of downtown on the lake front. Brady Street is an amazing area for lots of diversity and fun bars and restaurants. There is even a great jazz club and a 24 hour Greek dinner there. Last time my SO and I visited we rented an apartment in the Bay...
