Our colleague Pam Stenhjem in the Institute on Community Integration just sent me the following note, which will be interesting to anyone working on the University's Minneapolis campus:

I just found out from the manager at Bruegger's today that the Dinkydome and all of the businesses on that block, including the parking lot, are going to be turned into an apartment complex. Apparently they are slating the street level (or perhaps some other location within the new complex) for those businesses--Caribou, Erbert and Gerbert's, Taco John's, etc.--if they choose to renew with a new contract.

Here's a link to a Star Tribune article from December about initial plans.

Here's another article about a recent setback on the project as well.
