The solution is thicker walls, concrete for example. Relatives in Europe live in houses with shared walls made to block out noise.

Where is Anderson Cooper conducting his balcony interviews? Looks west of DT.

I work at an airport and the amount of people who dress nice far outnumbers the occasional slob.

For the life of me I cannot fathom how ignorant so many of the big-money candidates were. The very basics.

For years I was OK with pedestrianization. Post pandemic and with loss of major retailers it is now a dumb idea. Maybe 10-15 years from now if all of Nicollet is packed with small vibrant businesses and major regional attractions, more residents, then maybe.

This used to be very common. Young people moving to jobs in new cities landed at residential hotels, boarding houses, etc. Cost per unit is lower with shared common areas, kitchens etc.

There is only one spot at 26th and Lyndale that is an empty restaurant space...therefore... it must be the old Common Roots spot! I'm not even vegan, but I get excited for the vegans and the food ecosystem that it's creating making our fine city a great place to be!

On a single block of Bryant I saw 4 Millard signs.

In London, a true Cockney is someone born within earshot of the bells of St Pauls Catherdral. Not real borders. Maybe, put a bell tower on the top of the Uptown Theater sign :)

There used to be more strip mall parking closer to the center of Uptown in the Golden Ages. Arby's for one, Cub Foods is still that. Hmmm...

It was a fun episode with great character actors, especially Vic Taybak who made it so memorable!

Concern about Uptown’s changing face is familiar and overwrought Yes, the critical Minneapolis retail and entertainment hub is suffering. But the key to its future isn’t recreating the past.

I wrote about the vacancies around Lake and Hennepin, and why it's going to be fine. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

🚨 The 2025 Wedge LIVE Cat Tour route map is here. If you know someone on the route, tell them to prepare their cats for viewing on Wednesday, June 25.

This year's program at Mueller Park will feature free face painters and cat adoptions courtesy of Minneapolis Animal Care & Control.

Yes, a good appointment. He was a sane and thoughtful CM in his time on the council.

It was at Lyndale and Franklin for many, many years. The building was sold, along with the Theater Garage, to make way for more density at the intersection. Cool to see it come back to Lyndale again. Bummer for Stevens Square.
