I can't tell you how many times I've watched 'Down on Skid Row.' It really is marvelous. I've emailed a few people asking if anyone sells it on DVD but no one seems to know. I sure would have liked to meet Mr. Bacich. I'll bet he had a million stories to tell. - Jesse Jamison Admin of Old Minneapolis on Facebook.

It's a shame what they did to our history. They even demolished the first skyscraper ever built west of the Mississippi!

I was fortunate enough to know Mr. Bacich a little bit through my father who was a business associate of his. Truly an original, the likes we may never see again. This city needs more "doers" like Mr. Bacich. Congratulations on a life well lived.
