David -- I understood that the highest point in Minneapolis was on the
grounds of one of our public schools, I believe one in the northern part of
the city (Audobon, maybe?). I can't remember exactly, and can't seem to
find where I saw that.
But here is what I found for the basic elevation
Folks, list rules do prohibit discussing list management on the list, even

Once upon a time, and a very long time ago that was, downtown Minneapolis
had a grocery store. It was called the Great Northern Market, and it was
on the west side of Hennepin Avenue. I don't remember if it was on Bock E
or the block between fifth and sixth streets.
It was a noisy,
I thought Rebecca Yanish's self defense was interesting. At
the time of the Target deal, and in the subsequent months
leading up to the State DFL Convention, it occured to me

grocery store chains to decide if it is in their best interests and the best
interests of those who live downtown to build a store? There is no
