Yo PennBroKeith,
Maybe I'm missing something. Is there a liquor store, gun shop, pawn shop
or tatoo parlor in Phillips? Not last time I looked. Of course these aren't
business establishments I would ordinarily visit, so I could be wrong.
And the only fast food with a drive through that I know is the KFC on
Chicago and 29th.
Phillips does have some great cafes, markets and coffee shops. It also has
what I consider to be the best down home friendly hardware store in the city
- Welna Hardware on Bloomington. What it is sorely lacking is another
pharmacy (or even one pharmacy after Jan. 1 from what I hear).

Subject: [Mpls] NIMBYDALE MALL/Spring 2003/West Broadway & Upton
Neighborhood activists here are very anxiously awaiting the debut of the new
NIMBYDALE MALL. What had been a one acre site with two vacant buildings and
in-ground petroleum pollution; will soon be a sparkling new mixed use
development. Jam packed because of density bonuses; the mall and the
supportive housing above is already fully leased.
The wide ranging diversity of tenants guarantees this mall's success, and
popularity, in our city's future. We have welcomed most all the products and
services wanted by the public, yet effectively banned by City Zoning policy
and fortress neighborhoods.
We have signed the following businesses; Check cashing/payday advance, used
goods, pawnshop, gas station/auto repair, tattoo parlor, fast-food
w/drivethrough, liquor store, gun shop, and homeless shelter.
With the sex offenders, and halfway housing above, counter balanced by low
income housing for single moms, we are confident of balanced development,
and
the right demographic mix, here.
Our model was to take the best of Phillips/Ventura Village and add suburban
shopping options for our NorthSide. I think we did it right.
