Those of you who are interested in becoming fully informed about the boom in condo and loft construction in downtown Minneapolis, be sure to read the latest issue of the Skyway News, February 14-20 "Who owns downtown"
The issue is truly amazing...what an acheivement...from the creative monopoly board on the cover to the incredibly detailed, information packed charts and maps... to the overview of all the sites potentially "hot" for development, to the profiles of players like the Hines developers, the Short family, and Andrea Christensen, and commentary by Lisa Goodman and RT Rybak...it's incredible, and all concerned must have worked VERY hard on it. The research is thorough, the writing is provocative and thought provoking, and it's like a great drama...all the issues and players are brought together and there so much to absorb that I'll be reading and re-reading and thinking about the articles for a long time...like the recent issue they did on teacher pensions, (which I'm also still pondering) this one will never go to the recycle bin...this is certainly award worthy journalism.
