Fractured fairy tales from a 50-something
Piggy celebrated the evisceration and impaling of Osama bin Laden (okay, he was just shot in the eye, but one can dream…) with a BIG party. He even baked a cake shaped like the part of Osama’s anatomy he hopes they cut off for “DNA identification.”
Piggy was really pissed off this evening. He was “Conan” on the TV Guide Channel so he grabbed the remote right out of my hand (spilling my beer!) and changd the channel. Then he went back to stuffing his face with hot and spicy pork rinds.
Brookdale Center is as big an eyesore as Apache Plaza was. So rather than this “pie in the sky” idea of creating a mega entertainment center that has no connection or appeal to the local population, why not bull doze the thing and build a sensible combination of office, retail, restaurants, apartments, condos and anchor it with a Walmart or an Aldi? Silver Lake Village (formerly Apache Plaza) is the kind of development that could really help turn around the property values in this community. And draw in young professionals who would like to own homes within an easy 10 minute drive of downtown Minneapolis.
The best explanation I can think of is to listen to the Bob Wayne's Weblog theme song. Yes, that's right, I have a theme song (conveniently stolen from "What Do You Want From Life" by The Tubes). Enjoy and don't forget to tell me what you really think!Official Bob Wayne's Blog Theme Song
