Minneapolis

DM is right....MPLS has a lot more than just Nicollet mall and the warehouse district...the area by Loring park is awesome and more "real" feeling. I really have no problem with the mall and warehouse district areas....they are just new...as they age they will get even better. MPLS streetl...

DST wants to build new KC P&L HQers on Empire Theater si

I'm just not big into huge tax breaks to move them to their own building down the street from where they are now.

Let me know of any projects I'm missing or any details I'm leaving out of the current projects that would WOW the rest of the country......... here it goes: The le...

DST wants to build new KC P&L HQers on Empire Theater si

wouldn't bridges be selling the land to city/cordish for the P&L district and not redeveloping it himself?

I really have no problems with building an office tower on top of the planned cordish stuff but no reason to pretty much destroy the Empire for a corp. headquarters. No thanks.

OFFICIAL: H&R Block HQ Construction

Things are really moving pre-ground breaking. Mostly underground stuff but at least 15 spools of cable are on site.....we need to get some sort of stationary picture documenting the area going before it's too late. I've contacted the city but heard nothing back. Name that building? Hmmmm. have to th...

DST wants to build new KC P&L HQers on Empire Theater si

I appreciate all that DST and KCP&L have done downtown, but I don't like this plan at all. Unless the bottom level can be used as Cordish has planned out and offices above it (which the article says would not happen). Even then I'm not completely behind it....like Grid said, it's just odd.

I would rather take our "dead downtown" than their shiny, yet 60% alive downtown. I don't know why, but something about downtown Mpls rubs me the wrong way...too many downtown malls, too new of buildings or something, it felt like a city, but just a bizarre city with nothing truly interes...

well if DST wants it bad enough, they will probably get it......they have a lot of the desired P&L land already bought.

keep us up to date on what you and your roommates find or have questions on....a fresh perspective in the area can open up new doors for us all. How full is your place? That pool would be awesome.

glad to hear about your move downtown and bringing some friends with you...it's much more fun to reverse commute I can relate to that. First off, got a PC at home close to a window that we could hook up a webcam to monitor the progress of the area? I've got the webcam I can give you and the server s...

Whats your definition of "Cowtown"

dmw....so your definition of cowtown is having any type of country/agricultural ties in the city? I think everybody is looking for definitions...and they all seem to be different among people.
