SCHOOL NAMED AS ONE OF STATE'S 10 MOST ENDANGERED HISTORIC SITES
Pratt Community School, one of 10 Minneapolis schools slated to be

Hello Minneapolis Folks,
I volunteered at the Franklin Ave station for the
Sierra Club on Saturday. I rode my bike with the idea
of putting my bike on the train on the way back. The
turn out was tremendous which made it impossible for
me to put my bike on the train.

If the small building is the vacant one across the
street from Caps I hope they are planning for more
than a coffee shop. That site would be a super place
to put a couple apartments or condos above with the
coffee shop at street level.

Pratt School, in SE Mpls, probably has limited interest to many on the list.
However, I'd like to comment briefly on Michael Atherton's post. He states
below that Pratt would be highly subsidized by other schools in the
Minneapolis school district, and that historic preservation is a sham effort
In advance of the line being open to the airport and MOA, why not stimulate
ridership and encourage the maximum number of people to check the trains out

While Pratt Elementary itself maybe of limited interest, I
think that the issues related to the school closings and
equality of educational opportunity are not.

As to all the brain dead still living who never had
insurance, I think that their expenses should be coved by
licensing fees.

I don't think that's possible, since the licensing fees are by
state law dedicated to highway construction and maintenance.
The closing of Pratt School was as devastating to Prospect Park in 1982
as it is likely to be should it happen again. The building was saved then by a
group of neighbors with the help of MPS by keeping it open as a Community
Education Center managed by MPS Community Education who presently
Here are some facts regarding Hey City:
The MCDA (now the City) bought the building from Hirshfield's (spelled
with no c) in 1995 for $500,000. Acquisition financing consisted of
$50,000 loaned to the MCDA by 2 nearby property owners, an additional
$50,000 down payment, and a $400,000 contract

There will be a new coffee shop soon (run by an ex-Starbuck's manager) at the
corner of 38th St. and 23rd Av. I expect any number of coffee shops to open
within walking distance of the various light rail stops.

Madeline makes a great point. Too many lofts jammed together and Minnepolis
will begin to look the the concrete jungles of New York and Chicago. I prefer
the lofts scattered throughout the various neighborhoods such as the ones on 26
and Nicollet and 38th St. and 23rd Av.
