Here's some nodal thinking: turning right from the north entrance, I can walk from Horn Terrace senior highrise to White Castle, the Family Practice Clinic (for whatever can't be handled at the weekly onsite walk-in clinic), my dentist at 27th and Nicollet, IGA SuperValu, KMart, Blockbuster, the new Chinese place, Office Max, Radio Shack, Cost Cutters, The Dollar Store, a Chinese takeout, a bakery, a sandwich shop, Payless Shoes, a 24-hr. gas station, and the Post Office. Turning left, there's Walgreens, a Hispanic restaurant, a Hispanic grocery store, Wendy's, Popeye's and a bit longer but eminently little-old-lady-shopping-cart doable and good exercise to boot: TCF, Kinko's, the library and Rainbow among other Uptown destinations and a bunch of other nearby possibilities along Lake and Lyndale. Or I can stay home with congregate dining and laundry facilities, cable, my DSL connection, and my good friend Mr. Honey (the cat). Or I can get on the bus that stops right outside the north entrance and go to all sorts of destinations on a dollar bill. Works for me. _______________________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
