Bottlenecks everywhere and a ridiculous slope to enter off a tight turn. Garbage. Seriously, you might want to watch what you say on line unless you want the SWAT Team investigating you as the next possible mass shooter.

Hammersmith Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 On 5/27/2022 at 3:42 PM, Sioux>Bison said: I’m confused what floor are these multi room suites on? There will be three VIP suites with two bedrooms each that will be in the new building on floors 3, 4 & 5. The one-bedroom suites are going to be in the old building(Edgewood Plaza) on the third floor. That floor will contain the fitness room as well as nine hotel rooms(5 king, 1 corner double queen, 2 one-bedroom double-queen suites, 1 one-bedroom king suite). According to the plans on the city's website, the Olive Ann will remodel and take over the 1st, 3rd, & 4th floors of the Edgewood Plaza. Edgewood Plaza will be renovated this way: First floor - hotel lobby, hotel bar, catering kitchen, retail food(like a hotel convenience store maybe?) Second floor - Sky's Fine Dining(unchanged from current setup) Third floor - hotel rooms and hotel fitness space Fourth floor - hotel and tenant office space(maybe only a partial remodel of this floor) Fifth floor - Cloud 9 Event Center(unchanged from current setup) The new building will only have hotel rooms, the hotel laundry, and a room set up as a board room/small conference room.

Interested and will try it too down the road. Wife and I went to see Maverick on a rainy holiday - 2pm matinee totally sold out and they were running a new show every half hour. Nice to see the theatre biz back! Overhead some campers from the campground saying they were glad there was a theatre and restaurants nearby on a crappy camp day on a holiday weekend. Well done EGF on that whole urban campground concept! One of the most brilliant post-flood moves engineered by former mayor Lynn Stauss. Haven't heard about him for years - anyone know his status?

Haven't heard about him for years - anyone know his status? wonder if EGF or the state could come up some cash and put an invisible flood wall from the blue moose to 4th street by the fire station/library to "open up"the campground? highly doubt it considering the cost but if you put up some more restaurants "facing" the state park on the north side of those parking lots all the way up to 4th street it might be worth it?

Agreed, If you haven't been in that campground you should go down there on bike path and check it out. You'd never know in a city. With hwy 2 raised up you really don't hear much traffic. Such a super idea and was able to take advantage of existing infrastructure like the old city streets. Not only are restaurants close, but the pool is right across the road. There are tent camping spots closer to the river and some hidden fishing spots. I thought at one point it was one of the busier state run campgrounds in Minnesota. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That State Park and the whole Greenway we’re both home run ideas in building back from the flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but they didn't need to put in the walking paths, maintain the greenspace, build a state park, add benches, etc. Could have just "let it go" other than to maintain the dikes.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 imo the city should close lincoln golf course and move the dog park and frolf up there (dog park could triple in size)....and then make the old lincoln drive park a GF version of the EGF state park with primitive floodable "huts" ringing the "higher loop" road wth RV parking /camping on the second loop road and primitive walk in tent camping on the river way down there.... the bike path that curves from around 13th and reeves would be about a five minute bike ride to downtown or a 15 minute walk....
