Jim, While I agree with much of what you say, I really have to take exception your comment, 'show me anything on the Southside that rivals Theodore Worth Park.'
While I think Worth is a marvelous park, surely Minnehaha Falls and Park and all of the lakes over south not to mention the rose garden and Japanese rock garden, Hiawatha Golf Course, just to name a few. The fact is that North Minneapolis has less park acres than NE or South Mpls. As to Heritage Park, pollution or not, the land had drainage problems in the past and probably will in the future. As the saying goes, 'you can't fool mother nature'. It also, in my opinion, is taking on the appearance of another 'housing project' in the worst sense of the term. Asthetically, I prefered the look of the old brick and the lower profile. It seemed to have a friendlier feel and a substantial look that these buildings lack. I'm hope when the landscaping goes in, the feel will be different and it will look like a warmer place to live. That's only my opinion and I have a tendency to more traditonal in tastes.

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
