http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16502055/site/newsweek/ I thought I'd post this here since it's the most active Stonebridge thread. Nice publicity for my building if nothing else. Hope the link works.

Interesting post to me since I grew up an hour north of Duluth, in an area known as the Iron Range, an iron mining area which thrived with the help of Duluth's shipping industry. I now live in Cleveland. I completely agree with the above posts noting that there is very little sprawl in Duluth, as most of it's population lives in the city limits. It is most definitely a destination city for all of northern MN in addition to Ontario. Go to the mall there and see how many Canadian license plates there are. The only drawback is that the area is so secluded as noted above, and there are few major entertainment options (concerts, shows, pro sports etc.). You have to travel to Minneapolis for this type of thing. You get used to dealing with the weather. It does get bitterly cold, weeks of a time at -20 F over night with temps touching -40 F occasionally. My brother still lives in Duluth so I could post some pics from my next visit.

Can anyone provide any insight regarding living in the Stonebridge condominiums. I visited the open house last weekend and am seriously thinking of putting down an offer. It has great proximity to my new place of employment and you are still able to pick out your finishes on the 7th floor. I've read on other threads that current residents have some concerns, but nothing was explicitly stated. Anyone a current resident or know one that could help?

Mayday, I am wondering what issues the condos have had. I am new to this site and have been using it to research places to move when I start a new job in Cleveland this spring. I am interested in the downtown condo market. Maybe you or some of your fellow posters could provide some insight, or point me to a thread that discusses this topic. I am the single 20-something young professional type. Thanks. Great site!
