Re: [Mpls] Helicopters and Art
Not only that, Mr. Atherton - I was just "out" with some one - an old friend - at Molly Quinn's and he was there because he lives across the street from the New Art Gallery that was opening. He actually went to the show and said there was nothing in the Gallery that he saw except huge blank walls. He didn't know if he wasn't in the crowd to see a "privvy" show or something in the back room. He also said he got a notice in the mail today that said the helicopter would be doing this for 45 minutes. He claims it was at least over an hour and he couldn't stand it anymore so went out for a beer. What is this all about - Carmel-By-the Sea in Minneapolis - Art Galleries take over the wordd... someone please explain.

[Mpls] Wellington Development
I was at Savers on Lake Street today dropping off a bunch of things left in my basement by previous tenants and was suprised at the state of the parking lot! It's completely torn up over there. I know that there was some discussion of the Wellington development at this strip mall site, but can someone remind me if the tenants are all going to go? I recall something about the hardware store leaving, but am more curious about Savers and the ReUse Center. Anybody know? Thanks, Connie Nompelis Phillips West __ Do you Yahoo!?

[mpls] re:storm sewer fees
I would like to know how EXACTLY the city of Minneapolis is planning on charging the fee for storm water run-off. I am particularily concerned as with the water fees set the way they are now, if you are a big WATER user you pay more for sewer as well. Why not just eliminate the break people get during the summer for sewer. I think alot of the run off into the stormwater drains isn't just rain run off because you have alot of pavement. An example of this would be my neighbor the CARWASHER. He owns three vehicles and on any given night during the spring, summer and fall you can trace the water running down the alley, around the corner, down the street and into the stormdrain back to his driveway. With the current system he gets a big water bill and a large sewer bill, though it would be larger elimnating the summer sewer break. The stormdrain serves a 20 house area if you count the front of some yards and the back alleys of others. Just how does the city plan to divvy up the bill??? I have no interest in picking up the tab for his obsession with using his power washer and ruining the finish on his vehicles, just as I don't want to pay for the folks who water the sidewalk rather than moving their sprinklers more often and covering more grass than cement. Last winter I went around in bulky sweaters and slippers to keep my heat costs down and it worked..so now the "energy" folks are trying to re-write the rules and charge me less per therm and more for having a gas line to my house. I can't cut back on one line but I could cut back on use. I guess they still need to make record profits. My point is that until there is a system that is based on actual use (and putting a drain for every house, building and parking lot could get mighty pricy) and if the MONEY is needed right now, pick up those extra summer $$$ based on consumption in 2005 and then plan an equitable system for later.

[Mpls] Nicollet Hotel Block
I thought this was rather interesting so passing it on from Neerland & Oyaas... dorie gallagher/nokomis Not Signing a Signature Block The City of Minneapolis is once again marshaling its considerable resources in terms of time and development talent to attract a proposal to the Nicollet Hotel block north terminal site on the northern edge of downtown Minneapolis. Community planning and economic development staff held a pre-proposal conference to introduce staff to the many players that developers will need to work with to make this complex project a reality. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and Seventh Ward Council Member Lisa Goodman were both on hand to share their enthusiasm for what they believe is an important keystone development project worthy of signature architecture. Unfortunately, to date the word on the street is that the usual developer suspects - and even some unusual ones - are deterred by the notion that a transit hub must be integrated into the project. We believe that developers who still have even an inkling of interest should make contact directly with the MCTCO's new director, Brian Lamb (frequently touted in this rag). Lamb's unique background and experience demonstrate that he is able to work toward a number of creative solutions. We hope at least one developer will rise to the occasion. It would be a shame to see this important block end up as a mirrored bus garage. Neerland & Oyaas, Inc. 81 South 9th Street, Suite 415 Minneapolis, MN 55402 612-338-0050 REMINDERS: 1.

[Mpls] The value of being a pest re- homelessness in Mpls
There are times when, after seeing the same unfair conditions over and over...even I could feel like a pest bringing it up one more time. I have been told that at times, it just seems downright rude to keep on talking about people forced to live under bridges (oh, yeah, the bridge rods were put up so the bridges are kind of off limits now too.) But, it is cold out again...the Holiday season is approaching again and the Star Tribune had a story about the closing of another shelter (a youth shelter) again. I ponder (again) ... what will it take for the majority of elected leaders to take action and truly work to end homelessness in Minneapolis. Anyway,... stay tuned for the announcment for the next homeless memorial march to be held in December of this year. as far as pests they just never give up...thus their value.
