I'm really digging the Moscow covered bridge!

I read somewhere that there was interest in converting the Ceresota bldg/grain tower into apartments as well?

I don't think it's about Warren's residents disliking senior citizens... Warren has a number of senior living complexes scattered throughout the city. I think the point here, as mentioned in the article, is that there are plenty of other areas in Warren that would be better suited for a facility like this. If the city forced property owners to maintain their properties, the old St Joe's Riverside Hospital would've been a perfectly suited for a project like this. As far as the traffic is concerned: North Road is already a nightmare. It's a slow moving (usually under the posted speed limit of 35mph) residential street. A 120-unit complex doesn't sound like much, but when you factor in the employees and visitors (yes, the elderly have those), that would just congest things even further.

I'm a little curious about that myself... what were they thinking? I'm looking forward to reading more about this further in the update. That plan for Central Square is very interesting. It's a shame this was scrapped, especially considering the number of annual events that take place downtown.

Thanks for posting these! I had an apt here back in '98-'99. It looks like the neighborhood is still going strong! That being said, Stevens Square could be a little rough at night back then, but most of the issues were further up 19th. I loved being so close to downtown and all the surrounding parks. The only real issue I had with living in Mpls was that everything downtown, with the exception of the clubs and a few dining establishments, shut down before 7pm. If I remember correctly, I think I was paying $350.00 a month for my one bedroom, third story apartment. The view of downtown at night was spectacular and was worth triple the amount that I was paying! Another fond memory that I have of living there is of two squirrels that used to climb the brick facade up to my window for peanuts. The Mpls Institute of Art was (as I'm sure it still is) a gem in the area. I spent countless hours there and across the street relaxing in the park.

Florida Guy already posted this one, but I figured I'd share this anyway.
