An excellent summary of downtown Minneapolis Block E development in light of the Hooters controversy in today's Doug Grow column. According to some, if Block was better developed, Hooters would not be an issue. From the Grow column: "Bottom line from McCaffrey: Minneapolis isn't in a position to be terribly picky about which businesses move into the development. 'I don't have a right to hold 'em out,' McCaffery said. 'The space is empty. They want it. I'm not the morality police of downtown.'"
