Rep. Neva Walker, a black DFLer from
Minneapolis, said she was taken aback
when she received a letter recently from
the lawyer of Rep. Arlon Lindner,
R-Corcoran, that was addressed to her
as Walker-Black.

Matt Mason would like Cub to have underground parking or parking behind
the store or apartments overhead.
I can just imagine how much fun it would be to live above a Cub store -
open 24 hours every day, trucks making early/late deliveries, cars pulling
in and out of the lot, garbage compressors

Underground parking at a grocery store? You've got to be kidding. The cost
is astronomical and can you imagine the fender benders? I run into the worst
drivers ever in parking lots at grocery stores; put it underground and it's

In the case of a possible Cub, I suggested putting
parking behind or below the store. In this case,
you're right, there presently is not the land value to
afford burying the parking. Having the parking
screened as well as possible from pedestrians was my
point. However, as was suggested to me
