I think you're underestimating the scale of the stadium. It will definitely be visible well down 4th and 5th.With the apartment you won't see the Commons or the stadium until you get to the armory.

Re: The Commons - Downtown East Park
I disagree. I've always viewed that building as a feature, not a bug. It screens the park from the jail and from some road noise on that side, along with providing a commercial space that, in theory, will serve as park concessions. It adds eyes directly on the park for safety too (and vice versa, t...

Re: The Commons - Downtown East Park
Well that bridge is already looking like it may not happen, not for sure yet. The vikings are also looking at another place for tailgating currently, so hopefully that happens. You're right on the LRT so far, but that could change. I know people who are starting to push harder for the Portland Ave ...

Re: Grid vs Bicycles ?
I assume it's the old Minneapolis AuditoriumMattaudio, looking at that last link of yours. Was Grant a major road back in the day? And do you know what that big building was that is now the conventional center? It looks almost like another Northrup Auditorium.

Re: Grid vs Bicycles ?
I absolutely despise those things. There are way too many of them in South Minneapolis. Try getting around in the area of Grand Ave. south of Lake, for example. All they do is force cars to wander around the neighborhood trying to figure out how to get through. I do not understand their purpose at ...
