Being able to survive the encounter and being pleasant (for fans or players) are different questions. I get that we already play in those months AND that those are not enjoyable months to play in. So now the season will have 40ish% of the season be in unpleasant months to play outdoor soccer in.

Small clarification, Meg was in favor of supporting the process that led to the Mall. She originally voted against the project but was strongly in favor of supporting what came out of that process, even if she didn’t agree with it.

With quotes from two know opponents to the project from the onset and one who has been opposed to any road improvements in the neighborhood whose business is on Lyndale instead of Hennepin. Plus no mention of UA moving the art fair while other events have since happened on Hennepin.

Nothing says Star Tribune more than writing an article to shit on the exciting reopening of an important Minneapolis corridor by not showing before and after photos and barely talking about the exciting new elements.

Kind of an odd response since Shaffer is currently an elected city official?

This wolves team glaringly needs a point guard. Organize and settle.

But what if we harvested and hauled other crops from the solar site... :-)

Interesting that Mary brought up Brian, who supported the Mall redesign. As opposed to Craig, who super disingenuously tried to rewrite the length and depth of discussion on the Mall and capitulated to the fire access nonsense argument.

With the sewer work seemingly delayed, maybe can be revisited?

Sure would be nice if we could have moderators who actually like the city (and ideally live here).

Can confirm that floating on the river there and by those public swimming areas was great!!!

Would you use public dollars to help fund a target center replacement if at least half of all games played there (Lynx and Wolves) were on a local, free broadcast?

I know this isn’t realistic with the nba tv contract, but I’m curious.

Her name was Melissa Hortman. She and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home in an act of vicious political violence. She was Minnesota’s Speaker of the House Emerita. They were dog lovers. Amateur bakers. Great parents. Best friends.

You should know their names.

My brother named his first dog Crash after one of the hackers in this silly movie.

Shaffer beginning and ending Ward 7 candidate forum with pledge she'll govern same as she's governed on the park board.

Which is coincidentally my pitch to vote against her.

I would at least like to see a commitment from the building owners on Nicollet Mall to create a ton of small, ground level retail AND predictable, extended hours skyway access if they want to move the buses to add "vibrancy." Not sure what experience or opportunity they're trying to sell otherwise.

Do you think it would help in this case that we have both the Wolves and Lynx? Games are being played for most of the year, plus other concerts and events. US Bank just doesn't have enough games and events to make it a destination area. Basketball and baseball together could keep it lively maybe?
