Amen! It is like arguing that we need to subsidize coal because otherwise, what would happen to those poor coal miners? This project should have been completed years ago but, due to a complete lack of leadership locally and staunch anti-renewable dunderheads at the state level, we are STILL talking about f'ing birds...

Agreed. It's bulky, bland, and strangely angular for no good reason. It has the texture and appeal of the walls from the original Wolfenstein 3D.

GISguy going HAM on the panorama pics today!

Wouldn't that just be throwing good money after bad at this point? Fingers crossed they just suck it up and move on.

Whatever happened to ole Terdolph?

^ I made the same mistake, Goopie.

Is Valor Acres no longer a slam dunk?

Is anyone else here getting tired of KJP's tantric approach to this? ?

I thought the same thing when I read Paul's response. The Google machine indicates its still open, so maybe?

Is Sittoo's the place that Al's (from the delicious Al's Deli on 9th and Superior) son operates?

To the shock of no one, supposedly Geiger’s is throwing in the towel on the downtown location.

That is intriguing. I just hope this thread doesn't get torpedoed by mention of the "R" word...

i used to walk around the store at lunch just to look at it, not the clothing. Its a great space - hopefully it gets filled in quickly.

No sweeter than a regular milkshake. You should give one a try when they reopen. Just don’t let Wilford Brimley catch you with it...

I can't speak to everything they are putting up on the west side, but the houses they are putting up on Brainard look nice and blend in nicely with the existing homes.

Cupcake shakes are amazing! For some reason, any time i recommend them to someone, they make a face like I told them to have a dog food shake. I mean, what is not to like about cupcakes and ice cream?

That makes sense. It would be great if those garage storefronts get rented, but I’m not holding my breath.

I'm just going by the loopnet listing you posted earlier, which shows two 1st floor spaces and floors 9-13. Any chance you can let me know how to properly tag someone? I don't think I did it right the first time.

@KJP - Long time lurker, first time poster. I've worked at Amtrust for almost 6 years. In that time, the 13th floor has had a smattering of employees there for maybe a grand total of 6 months. Floors 9-12 have pretty much been empty the entire time. The first floor restaurant space is news to me, unless they are planning to remodel one of the conference spaces. The retail space must be the spot formerly occupied by Emil's, a sundries shop. I can't say I'm surprised he closed up shop, as his only customers were Amtrust/NatGen employees.
