Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics

Downtown Minneapolis will get a medical marijuana dispensary at 207 9th St S. This is on the block that's 90% surface parking, east of Oracle Center.

The thing that's most surprising in this article is that a parcel on this block went up for sale and the guy who owns the rest rest of the block didn't buy it.

Maybe he figures that he has a big enough stake in the block that any development prospect would have to go through him, whether he owned 90% or 100% of the block.

...so nobody updates this map to keep it current anymore?

Right below the Google map it reads: "Help us keep our maps up to date," followed by a link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&m ... 60a705af8b

That's probably true. And, until then, he's only in it for the parking income, and the city won't let him tear down the buildings and add them to the lot, so why buy them?

[Wedgeguy]

I believe those are both considered historic or protected buildings.

P.S. Sorry I can't figure out how to input charts or excel tables!! Also, please note that the exact breakout of Completed, U/C, Approved and Proposed is likely not 100% right, since I don't always have that info handy. Also, I expect the #'s to be close, but not quite 100% accurate -- maybe 10% +/-

If you can get it to export in a fixed-width way, you can use

Code: Select all

tags, otherwise you're better off taking a screenshot of the spreadsheet and also sharing a link to a google spreadsheet so people can see the numbers.

If I take a screenshot how can I post the image without using any photo site like imgur or whatever? As for the spreadsheet, it's MS Excel(did not realize that was a forbidden word!), and I rarely ever use Google for spreadsheets.....is it as simple as searching for it and pasting it in? Sorry, I really suck with technology! *Edit: this will have to do for now: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rhXzGYjDyWC4y65MRV8i3BNF0y10yfL72Ryzo53pWkY/edit#gid=0 The tables are at the bottom of the list of projects, which really is a list of buildings, if projects have multiple buildings.

You need to set the permission so that anyone with the link can view.

Also why wouldn't you want to use a photo hosting site to host a photo?

And the reason for "correcting" Ex-cel is that many posters were confusing it with Xcel energy.

I'm at work and don't want to save anything on my work computer I guess. I would have never assumed it wouldn't be available with just the original link, but good to know how to share the info -- I think we're good now.

Whatever happened to the downtown golf focused athletic space? I remember that's kind of what got me into urban research and downtown focus. From December of 2013

[Anondson]

I was just thinking about that yesterday, too!

Someone needs to reach out to former Transportation Commissioner El Tinklenberg and see what's up with it!

Overheard at one on one bike shop and coffee that they want to do a remodel of their shop. Kind of minor but they did talk about busting down walls.

DOWNTOWN EAST ON ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT WAVE. Honestly developers need to be ravaging for projects around the Vikings Stadium. WHY WOULDN'T YOU?
Star tribune.

[Nick]

I, for one, am excited to see where this goes. Also, the development is good.

[Nathan]

Does it say what's planned on zigy's lot north of the stadium? Is it parking or what?
