Mike Nelson makes excellent points about Block E. I, too recall fondly the old Block E, before it became a parking lot and ultimately the new monstrosity as it now stands. That block had character! Now it looks prefabbed, and suburban vanilla.
As to Hooters going in, I think it's a perfect fit. It's bland food, and suburban. I find it quite dull. Should be a hit in the new Minneapolis order. Some question whether Hooters could survive in DT Mpls. How silly. Hooters is the only "bar" in the Mall of America that survived the Bloomington smoking ban. That's a good track-record, prerequisite for surviving in Minneapolis. Dan McGrath Longfellow http://www.shegstad.us REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
