Imagine how much better the Hiawatha & Lake would be if there were businesses that served LRT travelers with residential units above them rather than a huge Target store with a parking lot and delivery docks taking up 2-3 more acreage than the store itself. That store and stores like it - regardless of brand - are not assets to their communities.</p></blockquote> <p>I have no problem with Target/Cub/Rainbow at that intersection, but how awesome would it be if the Target was like the one downtown, a two story store with no parking lot. And instead of Cub AND Rainbow, just one with a smaller parking lot. For me, the problem isn’t the big box store, it’s the big box store parking lot!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/East-lake/~4/yQZ-2AIHBz8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/East-lake/~3/yQZ-2AIHBz8/46688947561http://east-lake.net/post/46688947561Sat, 30 Mar 2013 13:34:29 -0500minneapolishttp://east-lake.net/post/46688947561<p>At one point I used to blog here.
