As a former Uptown Girl, Shareology has a deep affection for the corner of Hennepin and Lake in Minneapolis. Trusted sources alerted her to a retail revitalization in progress. (As a former East Isles Residents Association member, let me tell you, this particular revitalization has been in the works for literally years and through multiple developers.) Calhoun Square ain’t done yet: but the bones are starting to emerge:
The space between Calhoun Square and the parking ramp is in transition: this half: not so done
The northern half shows the outdoor strolling, sipping a glass of wine potential ...
Amazingly, quite a few of your Calhoun Square favs are still open....
Yep, a boatload of new square footage is under construction....
The more things change, the more they stay the same....
Placeholder, NOT the new name of the old Figlio ...
A reminder that not all of Uptown is under construction....
Hot off the press: Figlio has become … Il Gatto and it’s on Twitter! –> @ ilgattouptown
Shareology does wonder if the romance between the residents of Uptown and Calhoun Square will continue after this separation of sorts. Shareology can’t wait to check out the traffic when the new square footage opens.
Well folks, that’s it … time to head over to Lucia’s for some soup and a minicupcake….
