I’ve been wondering if it will make sense once that section of the trail just to the east opens.

I'm wondering if Slug, who is performing Sunday at Yacht Club, is going to change the lyrics to his "Say Shh" song If you're from the Midwest, and it doesn't matter where Say shhh, say shhh If you can drink tap water and breathe the air Say shhh, say shhh

What becomes of Target Center if the Wolves move?
A new Timberwolves arena wouldn't just replace Target Center — it could reshape downtown Minneapolis.

Nick Halter @nickhalter.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
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.

What's going on with Pimento on the Lake?
The Bde Maka Ska restaurant is still open, but it's no longer serving alcohol as it has been delinquent on taxes since August, according to a Minnesota Department of Revenue posting.

I am a little confused by why they are publicizing this. Best Buy paid $445,000 in city taxes last year. The city's property tax levy is $32 million. So if you lose $220,000 from Best Buy, that's less than 1% of the levy. (0.6%)

Massive redevelopment of Wells Fargo campus planned

There's little reason for him not to sign an extension next summer given how much more he can make staying with the Wolves. I like the idea of keeping young players + picks in case the Wolves need to swing for a big star in two years, when Ant could reasonably ask to be traded.

I was curious about the lot size so I did a little poking around. This one is actually slightly larger than the Rosa Apartments site at 42nd and Nicollet, which has 79 units.

Nick Halter @nickhalter.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
It makes sense to me. I bet a lot of units will only have one vehicle, but if you're having a guest there's not much on-street parking nearby.
100
Nick Halter @nickhalter.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
Yeah it’s a double lot plus another lot where the light blue house is now. Originally 20 apartments. Only three of the units are two levels. They have 15 underground parking stalls, but each stall has a lift that allows for a second car

I don't make the rules! But with him at the 4, KG at the 3 and Magic at PG, this team is going to beat people up.

Yeah I think you have to have Wilt to do it, which is sort of dumb.

Park Board takes step toward closing Minnehaha dog park

I love Giannis and he would be great with Ant. But they would have zero depth and no draft picks to replenish the ranks.

Nick Halter @nickhalter.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
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.

Four years ago the owner of Tin Whiskers told me a craft brewery reckoning was coming. I think it's time to acknowledge he was right. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Of course I asked and continue to ask about this. The mayor said it's an open question and they are still working on it. Hard to imagine anything besides a teardown. But the former Memphis basketball arena was turned into a massive Bass Pro Shops

Really? We went once in January and it was below zero at night. After getting a raging fire going in the stove, it got so hot at night that I had to shed my sleeping bag. But I do believe someone had to add a couple logs in the middle of the night.

The DNR yurts in the park are only $80 a night! (but you have to jump on there right away when they become available)

Nick Halter @nickhalter.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
One of the problems with using TIF to kickstart conversions is that residential is taxed at half the rate of office, so the building value needs to be super low to begin with and then you have to charge really high rents to get excess tax revenue

Ramsey County again swings for the fences with riverfront plan
After years of big dreams, should the county consider trying something more modest?

Ramsey County again swings for the fences with riverfront plan. I raise the idea that maybe downtown St. Paul just needs a single or a double.

You and I probably disagree on this, but I think schools were closed too long here and that played a role in some of crime issues
