Seems this is a big deviation from the city’s comp plan for the site in use and density.

Re: Minnesota State Flag and Seal Redeisgn

Some people actually think it looks like Somalia's flag? :? Just put them together and you'll see they aren't similar in any way besides both of them having a star. My brother remarked that he felt the tricolor was a knock-off worse version of the Jubaland flag, and that it was clearly borrowed fro...

Fascinating history about Duluth’s stagnation.

There were some sections that had room to build sections where walkers could have parallel separation, but seems engineers hoovered up all that to excavate storm water t...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

The close proximity to the Royalston or Target Field stations is interesting to think about (two block walks?) but crossing Olson or 7th is an unpleasant experience.

It’s also going to have close freeway access for drivers, and frankly that matters to many people still.

North Loop Neighborhood

This is arguably North Loop, but the Wells Fargo site at Olson Memorial and 7th will be closed and sold. Branch relocating closer to North Minneapolis.
