I have to disagree that there aren't ANY shops at 38th that a suburbanite would frequent. I'd say the barbeque on the NE corner of the intersection is worth driving some distance for -- I used to trek over there regularly from Seward just for the barbeque, and I plan to pick up to-go occasionally when I'm in the city, which is usually a couple days a week. And, Eat Street is definitely destination dining. I have often heard people from diverse suburbs touting restaurants there, and lauding the "fun atmosphere" on the Street as well.
Of course, I may not be your average suburbanite, and I may not be overhearing average suburbanites -- I'm a very recent transplant from Minneapolis, and I'm thinking my stay in the suburbs will be very short (3 years or so), and then I'll return to our Nirvanah on Ice -- Minneapolis. ;o) My message -- Kingfield, don't sell your commercial areas short! There may be suburbanites lurking in your midst of which you are unaware. ;-) Barbara Nelson Burnsville for 3-1/2 months formerly Seward for 18 years "Bratland, Doug" wrote: > The Ace intersection is two blocks from 35W (and its soon-to-come on- > and off-ramps) and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that it > has few (if any) shops that your average suburbanite would ever set > foot in. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
