I encourage fellow listers to read the article by the Le List Manager re:
Demolishing the Dome.
Not too expensive a proposition I wouldn't think. Rumor has it the Shubert

I was talking with a friend that said that RT told the

I apologize for going off on Mark Johnson with my earlier remarks. I guess
all the rumor and inuendo flying over budget and policy issues in recent

But because we have Loring Park, would we be happy without Hiawatha, or Lake Calhoun--what everyone loves about our city are the parks. Block E would have been a fabulous statement and a great asset, as another beautiful park. How many stores do we need. N Russell 12-4 - Original Message
