Re: Southwest Corridor (Green Line Extension)

Great post, and I agree. What can we do in this regard? We could build a trojan horse to infiltrate the Met Council... That's just my first idea. I may have others.

Up to 601, but my buddy got 881. Can't believe it... And I can't believe how addicting it is!

Re: Nicollet Mall Project

Permeable surfaces like what they're showing typically provide great traction.

Re: Video Games

3/4 of my village starved to death because I didn't have have houses in the right place in relation to workplace and markets.

So, great (I mean that unironically, I love it).
I'm enjoying Banished, too. So far I've only killed one herd of peeps.

Re: Star Tribune Blocks

That fake stream is my favorite thing in downtown St. Paul. Nothing like cooling the dogs, drinking a beer and listening to live music - even if the stream has a Camp Snoopy vibe.

Re: City Center

I think there's a good chance of that. Some companies have been getting creative on renovating their ugly bunker skyscrapers of this mold. I am hoping for a Block E level of enhancement on the Nicollet side, and some subtle accent lighting would help it fit in with our increasingly lively night skyl...

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium

I'm really pushing for 3M because then we'd get some cool (albeit small) features thrown in for the wow factor. I took a tour of their Innovation Center within the last year and it was pretty slick. And there'd be no floating AP on the western peak if it wasn't for its technology.

Re: Rumors!

When I hear entertainment companies I can only think of things like Gameworks, Deja Vu and casinos. I've been trying to figure this out since you first said it, Avian. What are some other entertainment hypotheticals?

I've heard about this empty station before. This plan may be far fetched, but it's pretty awesome!

Re: Grain Belt Terraces - (1215 Marshall Street Northeast)

Jersey barriers are up and they're digging here. This is excellent infill - it will be so nice to see some construction outside the St. Anthony Main area here in NE!

Re: Rumors!

The point is in Minneapolis we have many vacant parcels where the aspect ratio of a skinny skyscrapers would fit. It's a strategy to create dense infill with a large concentration of human activity occuring on a very small amount of lateral space. It's an efficient and creative way to fill up more ...

If that wasn't enough, John, something could be in the works to bring the Chicago Spire back from the dead - my favorite supertall proposal of all time.

Re: Super Talls

I'm sure the first tall tower looks goofy in any city, but shots of Minneapolis from this era are so strange. It looks photoshopped and very out of place. IDS is the best building ever, though!
