What with cuts in LGA, homelessness, poor economy and everything else, I scoured the newspaper this morning looking for some good news. I challenge the rest of you to post some good stuff to the list over the next couple of days too.
First of all, it looks like there are several developers interested in the Sears site on Lake Street and that some of them want to embellish and enhance the original structure rather than tear it down. Nice to see that moving in a positive direction. Secondly, the Metropolitan Sports Commission is funding a study to determine whether or not the site near the Target Center is really capable of supporting a stadium. Whatever is learned, it will be great to have some factual basis for the policy discussion. And lastly, but not leastly, the architect of the Guthrie's new design is coming to town to speak about where that's at and what's happening next. I think it behooves the city to keep a tight rein on the aesthetics of that so-important piece of the riverfront and icon of the midwest's regional theater scene. Its wonderful to see the plans moving forward especially in this time of scare dollars. So, here's an 'atta boy for the unsung civil servants who are moving these three projects ahead.
