Two instances of "Downtown East" in the article to one mention of "East Town". Heh.

I like downtown east much better. I think it flows better.

This area desperately needs more fast casual and fast food places for lunch. The options for the 4,000+ wells fargo employees within a reasonable walk are pretty much limited to the aforementioned subway. US Bank plaza has more options if one is willing to make the trek but the lines there get pretty long. The 4 or so food trucks parked out by the commons every day make a killing I can tell you that much.

My thoughts exactly. That area of DT is pretty much a bedroom community at the moment. It's really a chicken and the egg situation, that hopefully will be correcting itself soon. Getting these hotels, fast food, banks, offices and grocery store will really make this a fully livable community.

Small retail spots around gold park should have been a no brainer for exactly these reasons. It's going to be hard to create any good retail center in mill city/dte at this point. Washington ave is going to be mostly spoken for, hopefully they can drive more retail on Portland

The old Grainger building is now gone. Lots of activity happening on the site.

From the Planning Commission agenda, Sherman is proposing to add a story to the Old Spaghetti Factory building: http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups ... 190669.pdf

Cool! I'm a big fan of existing buildings getting taller when possible, instead of torn down and redeveloped. (Assuming it's executed well, not like, say, the Arctic Cat expansion of Western Container.)

Good. Trader Joe's store is going to be a major improvement to the area. Is it to early to start waiting in line? When are they opening again? Not soon enough.
