A track at TCF would separate the fans too far from the playing field. I attended a school with that set up and it is far from ideal.

Are there any plans to connect this new development to the other side of the train tracks with a bridge/walkway?

East Town; East Village or alternatively Eastville; and East Loop are name finalists for Downtown East district in #minneapolis @MSPBJnews

I work in LaSalle Plaza. Rock Bottom gets a ton of business from Target Center and Target Field events, as well as the theaters. It seems as though most of their business comes from out-of-towners but they have a solid happy hour crowd from surrounding businesses too. Anything beats Crave (everyone ...

How adequate is their current facility? Do they just want to move to be closer to the center of the area they serve (which includes Scott and Dakota Counties) or to get out of Dodge because of the new stadium? My understanding is that the current facility is woefully inadequate. They are well overc...

They are looking for space on the 494 corridor, likely in Bloomington.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office is requesting funding in the upcoming bonding bill to build a new facility. The new facility would no longer be downtown. Apparently the crime lab would be interested in expanding into the old Medical Examiner's Office, but given the value of the land (a...

This tidbit is from a credible source, but I didn't want to start a new topic just yet: Sherman is planning residential building with a Pinstripes at 240 Park Ave S.

1207 Washington (next to Bobby & Steve's) was demolished yesterday.

I heard a rumor from a dubious source that the upper floors of Macy's are being converted to residential. Anyone know anything about this?

but being the only event space in downtown without skyway access would be quite a competitive disadvantage, too.) Muse, Aria, The Depot, Day Block (if that counts as "event space"), and I'm guessing other venues downtown don't have Skyway access. I'm not sure that's a must-have for the Ar...

PigsEye (and others in the past, and likely future) decided it was better to regurgitate a 2 year old "outrage" than spend 5-10 minutes educating his/herself about the topic to be "outraged" about. :roll: This board is great ~99% of the time, but much less so on this particular t...

They have a restaurant lined up for about 9,000 square feet of space.

As I mentioned in the restaurant thread, this restaurant will be a new concept from the owners of CōV in Wayzata.

The owners of CōV in Wayzata will be opening a restaurant in the new North Loop development at 729 Washington Ave N.

Chicago-based Old Town Pour House (http://www.oldtownpourhouse.com) signed a lease for the old GameWorks space at the corner of 7th and Hennepin.

FWIW I live in DTE and that sign is new.

Dunn Bros is opening in the old Izakaya space in the Wasabi building at 903 Washington Ave S. Renovations look to be nearly complete.

Apparently there is such a thing as a "table tennis bar and restaurant," and apparently one will be opening in the basement of Eagle Bolt. http://www.journalmpls.com/news-feed/table-tennis-restaurant-concept-to-open-near-mill-district A description of the concept from an online job listing...
