Hmmmm...
#NicolletMall
The Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis last night after Orchestra Hall let out. #Minneapolis #January #Minnesota #Holidaylights #NicolletMall
When #NicolletMall was actually a nice place.
I was dressed appropriately for today's chilly temps, but nothing can really prepare you for the wind tunnel on #NicolletMall especially in front of #IDSCenter. It is so intense and dangerous, they cordon off the front of #CrystalCourt entrance for falling ice careening down at deadly speeds. #mnwx
Just don't take the bloody buses off #NicolletMall! Let people with their shopping carts go in and out and hop right on a bus. This is definitely something #Costco should look at.

There are some great shots of #NicolletMall before Target destroyed it in this Flickr feed. The Physicians & Surgeons building, the other quaint street-level buildings and ALL the pedestrians & street-level seating. I'd say the 1990s, before the remodel of Nicollet, was Peak for the street.
Portable police security camera set up in middle of sidewalk on Nicollet Mall, but no chairs for anyone to sit down.
Jacob Frey making Downtown #Minneapolis #NicolletMall look so safe with a camera! Not that anyone is there to respond or anything, but sure, get it on camera. #DontRankFrey

SO. MUCH. THIS!!!
Great article from Eric Roper about #NicolletMall

Definitely NOT a short-term recipe for success on #NicolletMall! Not sure there is such a thing.
I like that idea for #EatStreet!
Curious what @rtrybak.bsky.social would say about this wrt #NicolletMall...
THIS is what I think of when I remember the original #NicolletMall. I loved this fountain. #Minneapolis.
Side rant - this (salt, as an indicator of litigiousness) is why we can't have nice things. We want #NicolletMall to be attractive for walking so we salt the f*€k out of it which helps keep it unattractive for walking.
I wonder what @rtrybak.bsky.social thinks of a linear park of trees in the middle of #NicolletMall?
Cross section of Nicollet Mall envisioned w bike/rolling lanes & trees
And @czbi.org in @streets.mn with a nice graphic showing trees in the middle of #NicolletMall!

As a Metro Transit driver my concern about moving the busses off the Mall is security We don’t have enough Transit Police already and spreading them out more will not increase safety downtown. I’m sickened by the move the unhoused out of sight approach Minneapolis has taken #NicolletMall #Transit
This fence does not make me feel safe, as a matter of fact as a pedestrian on #NicolletMall it makes me feel extremely unsafe especially with the disasterous snow removal in the city making it much more treacherous to navigate.
My favorite street level shop on #NicolletMall? Easily, Come Pho Soup. TINY hole in the wall, really good #BánhMì ...

It is criminal that #Minneapolis allowed the destruction of this gorgeous granite water fountain/seating bench mash-up on #NicolletMall. www.alamy.com/sculptured-s...
Everyone forgets about this fountain on #NicolletMall. It is one of the only remaining operational fountains, and is definitely the most consistently operational fountain, in Downtown #Minneapolis. I don't know if they destroyed it w/new design but used to be brass poetry tiles leading up to it.
Landscape planting bordered by concrete filled with a tree, allium, sage & other plants
Big pile of dirt & mulch
One patch of landscaping on #NicolletMall has flowers/plants while the rest are just sad patches of mulch. This is pathetic #Minneapolis
Colorful chairs in front of steel & glass building with bus shelter to the left
Will wonders never cease, actual CHAIRS on #NicolletMall!
