We also have large store fronts and multi-user buildings available, on West Bro. Few are aware that another huge building is available at West Bro/Fremont. The Kodak (formerly Blacks, and Browns photography) site is about 65,000 square foot, on 3 levels, with elevators. It has ample parking to match. It is a modern building, built about 1970. Asking price, 2.2 million. It could be a terrific incubator, on a grand scale, and is empty. It has the potential to remain empty for years. I hope Mr. Snyder walks the walk, and puts his entrepreneurial instincts in motion. Such action would be more helpful to our Northside. Simply pontificating, to which retail amenities we no longer need access, is not 'bringing home the soy bacon' to West Bro, or North Mpls. residents. As I mentioned, in all of North Mpls. there is only one area where "Big Box" is Zoned. There is no good reason to reduce that access further. No way. Keith Reitman NearNorth 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.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
