Just had my first cone at Izzy's today and noticed that for almost the two hours I was down there the line was always at least ten people deep. What a great thing for Minneapolis to have. I can not think of to many cities that have such a nice ice cream factory next to a park. The park was also full...

I cringe when I hear local news anchors call MSP International airport. Twin Cities airport. I think I heard that on CH 5? Or for that mater when ANY major event happens in Minneapolis the anchors say "In the Twin Cities today.....", Counter that with crime or murders. The anchors are seem...

This guy! He is fighting to save what isn't even there. The Book House moved. "Matt Hawbaker has been active in the “Save Dinkytown” movement to block the project; he also works as a manager at The Book House, a business in the path of the project that already has relocated." Read more: ht...

The diagram shows both a "Dept. Store" and a Bass Pro Shop. To right I should have looked closer. Min-chi-cbus I saw the idea from an episode of Robot Chicken. It was only a short clip meaning there is still a lot of story left to make it one of the best ice shows ever. Even better then d...

Interesting that they're looking for another anchor department store. I am pretty sure they are talking about the Bass Pro Shops. They have been pretty much the only major store that will eat up enough space to be considered department store size. They do not have a location in MN or for that mater...

Mpls. Group Wants Light Rail Taken Underground The Southwest Corridor Light Rail will run right between Cedar Lake and Lake of Isles in Minneapolis. It will wind through St. Louis Park, Hopkins and end in Eden Prairie. But, there is a mile-and-a-half stretch along Cedar Lake that has one group urgin...

Already Giant Mall of America Plans to Expand Minnesota's Mall of America is known for its size. Now, it's expanding. The more than $2 billion project could last 10 years, expanding the mall by up to 5.6 million square feet. The project was pushed along by a $250 million tax break approved by the le...

I am lost is Ryan asking for 400 million? or is that the cost of this whole project?

Not sure where else to put this link so I thought I would drop it here. It seems like a good idea to get a jump start on how to handle all the extra ped traffic from the Green line. My only hope is if they are putting in more queuing areas they remain temporary. "Pedestrians, LRT lines key stad...

Well, we missed out on Superbowl L and LI. But Here's hoping we're ready for Superbowl LIV! We do not even have a shovel in the ground. So I wasn't very surprised we did not get the super bowl during this round. I am pretty sure we would get one before the decade is up. :D Also in each of the video...

So once built will this become the largest mall in NA? Plus make it into the top 5 largest in the world by total area? I hope I did my numbers right :roll: I just can not even fathom having a new world class football stadium, top stadiums for each of our other pro sports (if they don't cheap out wit...

Looks like this made the yahoo news feed.

Hope you like Sandcrawlers

Also the look is growing on me.

Crap! No one cheered when she said Major League Soccer. lol

I gave a small cheer. However since I am watching the stream at home nobody heard me. :/

I hope they start to stream soon! This music is just way to suspenseful.

I am not sure if anybody posted a link to the live stream I think I just found it here that should start at 7pm http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/all-videos/live-video.html I really hope the link works! Otherwise I might miss part of it looking around for another live stream. Crossing fingers that ...

Doesn't Wilf have first dibs on bringing MLS into this market? If so what is all this talk about building a ss stadium coming from? Wouldn't WIlf put his team into the new Vikings stadium? On a side note If both teams are playing to not loose ie passing the ball back to the goalie often to set up a ...

Great news! So when does talk of a tunnel for downtown start? I feel with "four" lines running down 5th your going to have a train on pretty much every block during peak time.

The last train in part "failed" because it took almost twice as long as a car 3hr 45min 3hr 35min in its later years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Star_%28train%29 If the trip time was as fast or faster then a car I feel ridership would high enough that bus operators would really nee...
