That's cool. But also kind of embarrassing how easy it was for Target to create green space downtown. We have a city full of lakes and parks, but for some reason, we've never bothered to add a small park downtown. It's always two-bit shopping malls that people can find anywhere.

I imagine an employee going in for a cup of coffee and coming out with toilet paper, bath towels, new dishes, rubbermaid containers, clothes, birthday cards, etc....

I still miss Let It Be Records. But at least they made something nice out of it.

Janet Moore, the original three developers were Henry Lazniarz, Ron Johnson and Jeff McDonnel. We deserve mention for our huge undertaking.

Give Ryan Cameron back the "It" that belongs to him. If you can afford to build this kind of work space you can afford to buy something else to hang on the wall.

Target's employee breakroom/locker area in the old North St. Paul store (T23) was created from a former restaurant area that did not work out. The floor of the restaurant was a little bit lower than that of the store. It was always more restful to go to break in that place - I recall some steps involved - than anywhere else, probably from the convoluted pathway to get into the room. It's so much more restful than just opening a door and walking into a room with only tables and chairs in it.

I agree with annemthom. That IT sign belongs to Ryan Cameron. Give it back!

Yet they still treat their store employees poorly and pay then just as bad. Why not set an example and try to keep good employees. Let them move to corporate, stop the "you cannot move from the store to the floors" attitude. Nice company but need to remember the little people who work the stores that make the money so the corporate people can enjoys this "special place".
