[Mpls] The Token Target throws in the towel....

[Dyna]

	No great surprises here- The Northside Target has been just going 
through the motions for years. Target Corporation clearly never gave a 
rip about this store- they were just trying to look like good corporate 
citizens by plopping a store down in the 'hood. Poor service, seemed 
like half the stuff was out of stock, long waits at the checkouts... 
Northsiders will not miss Target.

	What next for the southwest corner of Broadway and Lyndale? Perhaps we 
could have our Ford garage back... of course the automakers would never 
grant a franchise in such a location. Never mind that a new Ranger for 
$150 a month is a lot less than a lot of working class folks are 
spending on dying Hyundis and such. And even if I wrangled a franchise 
out of Ford the city would kill the deal for sure- they'd rather see 
the place sit vacant for a decade than let the car dealers return to 
West Broadway. We could use a toy store again too... Council Member 
Samuels. you looking for a good retirement gig?

	hanging on in Hawthorne,

TEMPORARY REMINDER:
1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject 
(Mpls-specific, of course.)
