Posted on 11/06/12 at 12:54 pm in response to 3 crazy ideas to lure people to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul

I always appreciate Marlys Harris's MinnPost articles, reading them regularly. I do, however, disagree with the lead in this particular story -- are downtowns doomed? This feels like a lead from the 1970s, and would have been an appropriate question at that time. Yes, there is the concern over Macy's in downtown St. Paul, as well as the meaning of Neiman Marcus's departure from downtown Minneapolis. But those two issues speak more to the future of department stores than urban centers....

The question is one, ultimately, of allowed height versus sprawl. At this point in this city's development, if we want to grow in numbers and in tax base, we need to grow UP. There is very little room available for infill. This neighborhood group's mentality is the same that killed the Linden Hills project, along with numerous projects in the Loring Park area during the mid-00's. We live in an urban area, we need urban density. And, by the way, as a regular user of the Midtown Greenway...

Great video... well shot and well edited. You found a terrific advocate and spokesperson for an important segment of our state's economy. I appreciate her idealism.

Wonderful memories. As someone living in CA at the time, I remember wishing I could have been in Minneapolis for that party!

Great recap of a roller-coaster ride of a game. Terrific to see Klobuchar covering the Vikings once again.

While Washington Square would be a terrific model for an urban park, one needn't travel that far to see a perfectly-landscaped urban block park. Go to St. Paul and take a look at Mears Park in Lowertown, arguably one of America's most beautiful square-block parks. David, thanks for saying what needed to be said regarding Block E.

Posted on 04/14/08 at 11:58 am in response to Well-spoken Madia worked his brains out for DFL nod

Wow... I haven't read an article in a long time in which someone is irrelevantly described as "dark-skinned" and a woman is described as "bright" and "attractive." Interesting bit of retro-style journalism within the cyber realm. I understand that Journalist Black is trying to show the differences between 3rd Congressional District candidates Madia and Bonoff -- especially in regards to the homogenity of Hennepin County's western suburbs -- but there must be a more contemporary way of...
