The general parking argument by neighbors is incredibly weak. MLS teams hold roughly 20 home games a year. Unlike most other North American sports, Soccer isn't a drawn out corporate lovefest and the matches are over within 2 hours. Taking this assumption and adding on 30 mins before and prior a mat...

The problem is, most of the people who buy condos will not be your young active, fresh out of college, folks. They will be older adults, whom may not be able to walk that distance to get to a light rail. I think this is quite an overstatement. They're not building a retirement community. Yes, a lot...

Nice Ride walk-up customers will have two new options this year: pay a flat $4 per half hour, or buy a 3-day pass for $10. 3-Day pass-holders can take unlimited 30 minute rides. Longer rides will incur fees. -1 for the more simplistic pricing model *Edit* For whatever reason my plus sign shows up a...

Never really felt much for the United moniker, but it fits Minnesota more than Atlanta, especially since it's already our name. I hope this leads to a fierce rivalry every time Atlanta comes to town. I think it would be cool if United or U could be worked into the negative space in Minnesota, somet...

City Works opens on Wednesday.

The old Car X is finally looking like a retail mattress store. There was no opening when sign, anyone have some knowledge as to when this is supposed to open?

Yippie Skippy! Just what uptown needed!!

Hoban Korean BBQ has officially opened. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Now that the soccer stadium is imminent, are there any other major sports stadiums that the Twin Cities is lacking? Is this the last major sports project we'll be talking about for at least the next couple decades?

Target Center Renovation?

I'm obviously biased in this discussion, but every new development about the stadium makes Betsy Hodges look worse and worse.

Agreed. It seems she made a decision based on premise then refused to even consider the input of her citizens, staff or council members.

Maybe this has been posted before, but according to a Facebook post of an acquaintance he will be delivering sandwiches for Caffreys starting tomorrow. So, they're back?

I haven't eaten at O'Donovan's But I have eaten at Jake O'Connor's, good food, good atmosphere. Should be a winner.

I don't know why there is so much resistance to the Y moving. It's currently really hidden and hard to access outside of the skyway system. If they do it right, by having a bright and open ground level lobby it could be a driver of foot traffic. Lots of if's, I know, but I think it could be somethin...

I wonder if Parasole would consider a Pittsburgh Blue here? It's bit down market from Manny's but do you think it'd cannibalize it?

I would love something like Cheesecake Factory there

Like, maybe a Chevy's or something??

YASSSSSS!

[/sarcasm]

Perhaps one of the Best Steakhouses in America, as featured in Delta Sky Magazine?

Ha, yes exactly!

Why wait? Let's be pre-emptively disappointed!

It's better than a surface lot, amiright?

It's being financed through taxpayer subsidies, has a 22 level parking podium, no ground level retail, eight skyway connections and the primary tenant is Koch Industries. #callingit #betterthansurfaceparking

Reading through the flyer I was hoping that it would help attract a big nationwide restaurant, but one that only has one location per metro area. The kind that you see in the back of the airplane magazines. Couldn't think of any concrete examples... yeah, there's my 2 cent ramble

This sounds amazing! Even better for us, is that they chose to do it downtown. They could have easily put this in the Mall of America. My hunch is the Superbowl effect was a big part of the decision process. Hope they can execute this well. HUGE! I hope they just move their headquarters from Minong,...

Rubio has all along been the one on the Republican side that scared me, because he doesn't seem to actually hold many moderate or centrist opinions, but people still treat him as though he's one. That makes him extra dangerous. The thing that scares me about Rubio is he is extremely well spoken and...
