Those buses are consistently standing-room-only in the mornings and afternoons, as students are heading to and from the University from various rentals in Marcy-Holmes. Nixing the 2 there would be a disaster.Not sure how many folks use Route 2 between Dinkytown and Old St. Anthony

Re: Dinkytown
This is a wholly separate thought, but a good one I think. Why not split up the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association along 35W? Marcy-Holmes stays west of 35W, and a new Dinkytown Neighborhood Association is formed east of 35W. The Marcy-Holmes one could even merge with East Bank-Nicollet Island i...

Re: Dinkytown
Three urban campuses with thriving commercial districts that I've visited in the past year are the University of Washington in Seattle, the University of California in Los Angeles and Northwestern University in Evanston. Ask a Seattle resident and they'll say the same thing about the U district tha...

Re: Dinkytown
And where some see a "thriving business district," others see a fading, shabby neighborhood in need of an overhaul. Travel around the country. The lively, mixed-use commercial districts adjacent to other major universities put backward Dinkytown in an unfavorable light. The U of M and Min...

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
I did a quick search and didnt find anything, so I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed and I missed it, but has there been any movement to nickname the Stadium Valhalla? I think this would be brilliant and pay homage to the mascot, because when Vikings died in battle, they went to Valhalla. On...

Re: Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) Clinic Expansion
The aerial map seems to pretty strongly suggest that it's going to mean the whole block:

Re: Apartment Hunting General Discussion
Does anyone here have any experience with the various management companies in Stevens Square/the north part of Whittier? I've been looking into them and hearing mixed things, but it's hard to tell how much of that is real and how much of that is just people who are afraid of cities and "urban&q...

Honestly, if anything, the violence last night was egged on by the absolutely ham-handed and insane police presence and tactics.

Re: 700 Central Ave. NE Apartments
Crossing Central at this address is awful; the only crosswalk is a fair way down the block, and cars really zoom through here. Hopefully if this development goes through, it'll prompt the city to look at some improvements here.

City planner unconcerned Minneapolis city planner Haila Maze, the lead author of the small-area plan, labeled the scenario a “technicality.” She said it likely won’t affect the small-area plan or the ongoing historical study. “While the organization wasn’t formally formed, there was a bunch of peop...

Re: Southwest Corridor (Green Line Extension)
Would that really be a huge loss? I'm always amazed by just how much street parking there is in this city, especially on arterial streets like Hennepin.

Re: The Graduate - (1300 block of 4th Ave SE)
Honestly, as a grad student who sometimes eats at the restaurants that Doran wants to demolish, I don't really mind the idea of the demolitions themselves. What I'm really afraid of, though, is that the rents on the ground-floor commercial spaces would be too high for those kinds of smaller restaura...
