[Mpls] North/South Minneapolis Target

[Eric Oines]

A couple of years ago, I got trapped in conversation with a man who does (or 
did at the time) financial analysis for Target.  He told me that the Lake 
Street Target, not the Broadway store, was the worst store in terms of 
internal losses and shrinkage, but that the company would never close it 
because it would be bad PR.

I think this is yet another instance where, because of the more economic and 
ethnic diversity of south Minneapolis vs. the concentrated and segregated 
poverty of near north, it's a lot easier to pick on the folks with less 
clout.

It just plain stinks.  Nice thank you for the $50+ million in Minneapolis 
taxpayer dollars.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and 
love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time 
they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, 
always."
~ Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948), Agitator
