I attended the Wolves game last night... a near sellout crowd at Target Center, and the Wolves did it again, beating the N Jersey Nets 81-68. The Wolves started out slow against the hot Nets, but were able to tie the score by halftime, and finish with a real blitz in the last five minutes. Troy Hudson was the star of the game.
We got downtown early for some food, shopped a bit and qualified for free parking in a nearby lot, and enjoyed the game. Stores seemed busy on this week night. We checked out the newly relocated and remodeled Dakota Jazz Club on the Mall and found McCormick & Schmick's doing a brisk business in food and drink. This was my first trip to the new Dakota, since it relocated from St. Paul, and it looks GREAT!! Given all this, I must say that I remain opposed to public financing of professional sports enterprises, and recommend the upcoming conference at the Humphrey Institute at U of M (this Fri/Sat) to all interested list members: Reining in Competition for Capital http://www.hhh.umn.edu/projects/prie/index.htm Michael Hohmann Linden Hills www.mahohmannbizplans.com also note: The CURA Housing Forum holds it's brown bag session Friday, Feb. 27th, 12-1:30 at Carlson School of Management, Rm. 1-143.
