What should the city do with Target Center if/when the Wolves build a new arena? I looked at some possibilities as well as the remaining debt and lease term on the building.

The Wolves should make big changes this summer, but they should NOT go all in on next season. There's no move they can make this summer that will make them better than the Spurs or Thunder. Build for 2-3 years out, when those teams face financial constraints and maybe the Wolves are in the East.

People didn't want to buy and sell houses in January. It was the slowest month for sales since December 2007. Minnesota Realtors suggests non-market factors are at play. I think we all know what happened here, even if they won't say it.

Mpls Park Board meetings, for at least the last 15 years, have frequently gone off the rails, no matter the political leanings of the members or various issues before the board. Anyone have guesses as to why? I've wondered if it's the combo of evening meetings + open forums.

Up until a few months ago the answer would have been The Long Walk by Stephen King (Richard Bachman). It didn't turn out that great so I'd trust Hollywood and not ask for anything else.

I'm not sure who it would help or hurt in city elections, but I have a feeling Truth in Taxation notices in Mpls that come out later in November are going to be rough. Downtown office values have fallen pretty severely again. More to shoulder for homeowners.
