Just a quick note to clear up any potential confusion about my last post. Although I would have loved to have written the quoted portion, it was not written by me. Local journalist (and novelist) Jennifer Vogel wrote the piece in The Rake, as well as the portion I excerpted.
Not one to tread on writers' toes or fingers, Gregory Luce St. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Dorie Rae Gallagher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 6:35 PM To: Gregory Luce Cc: mpls mn forum Subject: Re: [Mpls] T-H-E W-I-N-G . If people want to gripe about poor decision-making, they should point the finger at the geniuses who moved the main library out of its original location on Tenth and Hennepin, a castle-like structure that strongly resembled the Lumber Exchange Building. They plunked it down in a 1960s-era box that was difficult to expand or update and constructed in such a way as to hold together for only forty years." Gregory Luce YES! The first time anyone has commented on ....why did they move the library to begin with? The old library was beautiful....the floors were unbelievable. The only reason I can come up with is they were cleaning up the Gateway area and needed something to build...no one wanted them to build at that time so it was done as cheap as possible.
