It's a crying shame that it's closing for good. I
can't believe it can't be incorporated into the
development in a way that will allow new life to be
breathed into this North Minneapolis icon.
Surely someone has some original thought on how this
place can be saved. What a great club it was.
Can anyone tell me if the hotel will have a swimming
pool or water park? I heard that a water park was also
part of this development.
I watch it being built everyday as I work across the
street from the development. I just haven't seen any
evidence of a pool location yet.

Just a short couple of things.
Yes, police buy-back is at 1 1/2 times regular pay.
That is because it is done as overtime just like any
other off duty assignment a police officer accepts
such as liquor store duty or K-mart duty etc. It is
also volunteer, not a manditory assignment so an

Carsten called me today. Said he was working on a
version of the DFL letter too. I agree my opening
statement was weak. I guess that must epitomize my
confidence when it comes to the DFL.
Anyway, he will forward his version to me tomorrow.
Will forward that to you and Fred when I get it.
R.T. - I agree with you on the rurual suburban thing.
There is an acceptance level required for density as
well as diversity.
I saw it when I worked in Eden Prairie. A good
portion of the employee base there came from Shakopee,
Belle Plaine, Watertown, etc. And that was before the
big booms
Your right!! Thanks for speaking up. It's risky
sometimes on this thing.

The Suburban fright syndrome is not new. In the 70's
and 80's I worked in Eden Prairie and lived in Loring
Park and then by Lake Nokomis. My friends at work
used to be scared to visit me, even by Lake Nokomis
which I consider to be Golden Pond.

How about a one day free for all on the election.

No being mean and insulting.

table for as long as I have lived in Whittier (1991).
It was addressed in the Whittier NRP plan, but, with

Thanks David for bringing a little light humor into

time to read the paper this morning before I left and

In fact, East Phillips is meeting tonight to discuss

I work in Phillips and am aware that there is a
modular home between 28th and 27th Street on
Bloomington Avenue.
The issue in Phillips was not that it was a modular
home, it was the design of the home. The home was
turned sideways with the primary entrance to the home
on the side as opposed to
Franklin and Penn tonight. The north end of Lake of
