Marcy –My husband and I live 3 minutes (literally) from downtown, and see it daily. We actually go there for grocery shopping, as it’s our closest Whole Foods. From the perspective of our industry, watching all the luxury apartments and high-end condo towers going up, does the heart good. The infrastructure is really there now – the shopping, the restaurants, more grocery stores, etc., making downtown living a true easy-access and vibrant experience. In north loop, there are dogs everywhere, and condo towers catering to dog-owners. In the theater district, there’s Gold Medal Park, with it’s modern winding landscape overlooking the river, there’s even a luxury condo, all-glass high-rise going in on the edge of downtown, making a new point of light on our skyline. Minneapolis is definitely becoming more urban, as is our sister city, downtown St. Paul. With this we see an exciting future for Blended Blue.
