Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects

Legit. Potentionally random question, but does MDOT differentiate between the core 7 counties and the greater 16 counties of the metro area? I’m just thinking out loud, but maybe the 9 counties that aren’t in the core, count as greater Minnesota in the eyes?

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)

At least in the Twin Cities, I can understand the feeling that we had stronger cooperate citizenship in the past. Not only the Met Council, but the Daytona Company started the 5% club, and a lot of local companies participated. The 5% club required that companies give 5% of their pretax profits back...

I also enjoyed the link to HHH’s letter to the UN advocating the organization build its new HQ in Minneapolis! That got my nerd mind going in all sorts of what if scenarios lol.

Re: MSP Airport

I find Delta to be a fine option. Using their AmEx card can get you good miles too.

Re: Calhoun Towers - 3430 List Place (2x 269' - 22 stories)

I actually would really dig that :-) I would like the city, and the state, to do more to embrace its native populations. That being said, I could also see it being a potential issue of cultural appropriation if mostly non-native folk live there.

I also want to note that Minneapolis now has two transgender individuals on the City council. That in itself is awesome!!!!!!

Since Chicago is a city with a very famous fire, I wonder what if this will be viewed as poor taste or tempting fate?

Too much black, but i think they're trying to hide some mass, which is a trick most women know. Hey, that comment is really not okay. Don’t say shit like that. You're right, I guess that came out wrong. It's not exclusive to any gender. My personal wardrobe is exclusively dark blue and black t-shir...

Heyooo. Haha.
I agree Fish, but I must give him props for being honest. I prefer his “I don’t knows,” to unclear answers. That being said, continual “I don’t knows” can indicate a lack of effort.

Re: City living trends and predictions

I would also argue, if parking ramps are needed, on top of the freeway, with relatively easy access, is a pretty good place to have it :-)

Re: Planned Parenthood - New Uptown Clinic (1210 Lagoon Ave)

In reading a lot of the posts, it seems like we are having a discussion that is equating PP and abortions. For my own clairty, I want to say that PP does a lot of services, and the vast majority of them are for routine heath. I think the majority of its services would be great to have as non-planned...
