Re: Bloomington - General Topics

Bloomington Facebook chatter is that Taqueria las cuatro milpas took over the old 1st Wok location today and hope to open within a month. Their Facebook page is apparently in Spanish but they do note they're opening a new location with a "spacious parking lot". I've thought about checking...

Re: Suburban Malls and Associated Retail News

This leaves JCPenney with five stores in the Twin Cities: Burnsville Center, Ridgedale, Rosedale, Maplewood Mall, and Tamarack Village. This is good news for Burnsville Center and Maplewood Mall which would be in really rough shape if they lost another anchor. I hope Eden Prairie Mall takes a queue...

Re: Southside - General Topics

What is the extent of damage on Lake St from the fires and looters? The media seems to just have vague descriptions. I lived over here a year ago and the neighborhood was coming together. I live near Plymouth Ave N now, which had fires in the late 60s and never recovered. I hope the same isn't goin...

Re: Southeast Como Neighborhood

So there's a new CPC packet for 1040 Como. I haven't been over there in a while, did the site work mentioned in the above post never go anywhere? A while back they cleared some trees from the site but I haven't seen any other evidence of work. I only go by the site a few times a month though so may...

Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects

In regards to the 3rd Ave bridge redesign, any indication that they'll have those like observation cutouts for people to stop and take in the view like there are on that Franklin Ave bridge? I think that's a really nice touch to keep pedestrians from stopping in the middle of the bridge to get a vi...

Re: Lowa46 - 46th & Hiawatha Cub Foods Mixed Use

The first is immediately WSW of the Lowa46 Cub Foods main entrance, with the second at the far SW corner of the open lot, adjacent to the new Reuter Walton development happening at 4757...

Ah, well that one is already owned by the University of Minnesota - so perhaps with this new purchase, they'll be inclined to sell this last surface lot to a developer?

Re: Calhoun Towers - 3430 List Place (295' - 24 stories)

A ton of trees have been cut down and cleared out on the north side of the site. I have no idea if it's for light rail construction or not, but it's where the first phase would go, so here's hoping. The Southwest LRT Updates listed this for last week: Minneapolis Chowen Avenue to Lake Street For th...

I hope something gets built that is an asset to the community and worthy of the site when the time comes.
