Minneapolis by Emily Green
Midtown Exchange Condos on the Greenway
Emily Green: Urban living with all of its perks at Midtown Exchange Condos on the Greenway. A 52 unit condo building has views of the Midtown Greenway, but the most exciting feature is an underground tunnel that connects to the Global Market (food, food and food), Sheraton Hotel and the skyways to Abbott for a mid winter walk. Future plans for a trolley on the Greenway would round this location off as the hottest new spot in the city!
Midtown Phillips Art Spot
Emily Green: Dedicated on November 9, 1991, this is a Neighborhood Safe Art Spot. The artist are Baron E. Lewis, Marilyn Lindstrom and Walter Griffith. Sponsored by the Minneaplis Community Crime Prevention in cooperation with PPNAI and the people of Phillips. I am still gathering information on this interesting neighborhood landmark. Please comment if you have any history to add!
Quatrefoil Library
Emily Green: Welcome to the neighborhood Quatrefoil! One of the oldest GLBT libraries is coming to the Phillips and Powderhorn communities. This exceptional organization has decided to locate on the main level of the Spirit on Lake housing development. Everyone is welcome to browse Quatrefoil's collection and members ( small yearly fee) are allowed to check out their selections.
Mercado Central
Emily Green: Mercado Central looks simple from the exterior but inside is a bustling mini market of great food, international boutiques and lots of culture. The food cannot be understated and there is so much to choose from. Great space to take a group, especially if you are working on your Spanish, but English only speakers are just as welcome. A true neighborhood gem!
Ecopolitan
Emily Green: If you have never tried vegan raw food, it might sound a little scary, but Ecopolitan has some of the best food in the city. This is a great place to go and experience new flavors and ideas for cooking with vegetables at home. For newbies, I recommend the burrito with cheesecake for dessert. You won't miss a thing!
