For years I was OK with pedestrianization. Post pandemic and with loss of major retailers it is now a dumb idea. Maybe 10-15 years from now if all of Nicollet is packed with small vibrant businesses and major regional attractions, more residents, then maybe.

There is only one spot at 26th and Lyndale that is an empty restaurant space...therefore... it must be the old Common Roots spot! I'm not even vegan, but I get excited for the vegans and the food ecosystem that it's creating making our fine city a great place to be!

In London, a true Cockney is someone born within earshot of the bells of St Pauls Catherdral. Not real borders. Maybe, put a bell tower on the top of the Uptown Theater sign :)

There used to be more strip mall parking closer to the center of Uptown in the Golden Ages. Arby's for one, Cub Foods is still that. Hmmm...

It was at Lyndale and Franklin for many, many years. The building was sold, along with the Theater Garage, to make way for more density at the intersection. Cool to see it come back to Lyndale again. Bummer for Stevens Square.
