Re: Hi-Lake and Minnehaha Mall Area (Target, Cub, etc.)

They've really been working on that old Rainbow since last I posted. On the North side of the building there are some large chunks of the wall cut out for doors and (what I assume) will be windows at some point. When the sun is shining in the front in the afternoon I looks like the main studs and be...

Re: Homeless tent city along the Hiawatha Bike Trail?

I've never personally observed any real problems from the group, but do wonder about how more vulnerable trail users feel about safety, especially at night. Yeah me neither, never ran into any issues all the times I've biked past, besides the smell sometimes if there has been a lot of garbage pilin...

Homeless tent city along the Hiawatha Bike Trail?

Does anyone know anything about this? I've noticed, for quite literally the past year as I bike to work up the Hiawatha Bike Trail that there is a pretty consistent camp under or near the bridges where 94 passes over or next to the community peace gardens. I was honestly surprised last winter when t...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

I used to have to bike up the sharrow on LaSalle as it passed over the interstate to get home, hated it every time. There were always some drivers being asshats about it.

Re: Tenant Rights in Minnesota

Do renters have any rights in terms of having power restored in a timely manner after an outage? Our power went out this morning, and Xcel just texted me saying it should be back on by 11am on June 14 . (!!!!) I never had to deal with a 3 day wait to have power restored growing up in a SFH. Wow the...

Re: Tenant Rights in Minnesota

Shitty/nonexistent climate control during the summer gets to be just unbearable. Yep, lying here in bed with my wife with only a fan at the moment and the heat is awful. Probably won't sleep much tonight..whee. One thing I just thought of, I wonder about the socioeconomic impact of typical middle c...

Tenant Rights in Minnesota

In the midst of the heat we're having right now, (and heat we've had in past years that always comes with Midwest summers) something I've always wondered about rights for renting tenants in Minnesota is this: Rental properties are required by law to have and provide heating functions for the winter ...

Re: Nicollet Mall Reconstruction Project

It occurs to me that they haven't touched the 5th St. intersection at all yet, presumably to avoid disrupting the trains. Think they can go balls to the wall and finish all the train-disrupting work during that weeklong LRT closure scheduled for the end of June, or do we have more closures in our f...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market

I'd also add that lunch food options are better downtown too. Seconded to that. My office is right near Whole Foods and that's one of maybe two places that are somewhat affordable and quick lunch spots that I don't have to sit down for. As delicious as Red Cow is, I can't eat that every day. If I h...

Good. Hopefully it's an actual update to the design to make this thing look way better and not just a 'we tweaked this corner so its new'

That would be nice, my wife used to work for that Barnes & Noble several years ago and they had to have a security guard posted up top just to keep streetgoers from only coming in for the bathroom. They didn't "have to." They chose to. Fair point. I don't particularly blame them for i...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map

So, basically opening the Panera patio up rather than hiding it behind walls and gates when Panera closes up?

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)

So is this legislation, or is it the patented GOP "If you won't let me win I'll just change the rules" play?
The GOP still does legislation? :lol:
