I believe crime drove Walgreens away - and many other business persons including myself. In addition to extremely unpleasant general business conditions in Minneapolis, there is rampant white collar crime, which manifests itself in oppressive property taxes.
I have spoken to several other business people in Minneapolis who are planning exit strategies. I just read that Wells Fargo is opening a huge processing center in Shoreview. Citywide Glass just moved to Fridley. Keep it up folks. Pretty soon we'll all be gone. This might be a good time for Minneapolitans to start thinking about who is going to pay the $1 billion each year that the City needs to breakeven. Good luck.
