The University of Minnesota student who catches the LRT downtown to hit up a show at First Avenue will not ask herself how long it takes to get from Union Station to Target Field before hopping on. She will be glad of the convenience of not having to park; she will be pleased not to pester her inner judge as to whether she can drive home safely with one more beer; she will not have to rouse herself from conversation to feed a meter.
The Green Line Is Not Commuter Rail on streets.mn
Streets.MN? Yeah, I roll with that crew.
Just wanted to let you guys know, today was my first post as an occasional contributer at Streets.MN. I'll mainly be sharing "Then and Now" posts, but there is a lot of great stuff on there about land use and transportation issues in the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Currently I'm like a donkey at a keyboard as I try to figure out WordPress for my posts right now, but regardless, be sure to check out all the fine content they have!
Had a great time talking with Bill Lindeke about Stuff about Minneapolis! Please ignore any nervous/awkward laughter on my part, I had more than a few moments of that. This podcast this week is a conversation with Paul Merrill, a life long resident of Minneapolis and/or Robbinsdale, who writes the amazing local history and urban planning tumblr website, Stuff About Minneapolis. We met the other day at the beautiful North Loop bar, Club Jager, to go behind the scenes of Paul Merrill’s website. We had an excellent conversation about Minneapolis history, Paul’s favorite building, the Mall of America, and the best things about Robbinsdale. I hope you enjoy our conversation. via Streets.MN
Why the New Stadium Won't Save Downtown East, and Why That's a Good Thing
I've got a new post up over at Streets.mn about why the first step to successfully incorporating the new Vikings stadium into downtown Minneapolis is to admit that the stadium itself won't inspire the kind of development that characterizes a thriving downtown (for proof of this, take a walk through the sea of parking lots surrounding the Metrodome). I'll have more up here a bit later that gets into more detail about the tailgating issue (you can only squeeze so much into 600 words) that's caused a lot of concern among Vikes fans and urbanists alike. For now check out the above link--and many thanks to the folks over at Streets.mn for sharing.
