I biked 21 miles yesterday to get cool pics, so you out-of-towners better enjoy them! And I finally figured out how to do a Flickr link (after a few hours of screwing around) so Nick will be happy too. Anyways, I think this view looking south along Nicollet is fantastic to show the wall that will ex...

I would actually go to those stores now.

SLP is 10.8 square miles, so the density is over 4,200 per square mile today. Not too bad. If Plymouth had that density, it would have over 150,000 people. This development fits in West End.

You are correct that I took that pic at 14th and Spruce. I also noticed the uneven floors. Gives it a wild visual effect.

Five full floors

A date at the Republic (I'm sure you all wanted to know that) and snapped a pic. Three floors of wood.

Oh wait, now I see that other building in the middle...
