West Hotel Project Sold in Sheriffโ€™s Sale Mortgagor Onward Investors could take control of the would-be Commutator/West Hotel project on Second Avenue in Minneapolisโ€™ North Loop.

Meanwhile the site continues to be an impediment to pedestrians and cyclists (especially with winter coming). Not to mention an eyesore.

Years ago, we had to turn off our old car's lane departure warning system because it was alerting that "oh no! you aren't driving in the pre-defined lanes!"

(We were driving in MN & WI through an actively-falling snowstorm on a freeway, so we were located in the actually-feasible ruts in the snow.)
