Before some of you go ballistic on the city for spending money....know that the park board is Minneapolis is completely separate from the city council. It acts independently and it has been that way for over 100 years.

it wasn't so long ago that they wanted to tear down the Stone Arch Bridge, turn Our Lady of Lourdes church around to face a different direction, close off Nicollet at Lake St....ooops they did make that happen but they did take Reiko Westons restaurant, I remember the story in the paper, her fight, and probably her early death...I think it had to do with parking and immenient sp? domain by the Park Board...might not be 100% right...but pretty close I bet
