Grove Street, Nicollet Island On 10 Most Endangered List
On Thursday, May 4, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota announced their 13th annual list of the state's Ten Most Endangered Historic Places. Included on the list was Grove Street on Nicollet Island. Grove Street, built in 1865, is among the oldest streets in Minneapolis. But the elite, private DeLaSalle High School is turning the thumbscrews on every Minneapolis politician it can corner in an effort to build a football stadium on top of that street, wiping it and the adjoining parkland into fading memory.
The Preservation Alliance website has the full details.
Steve Scott of the Pioneer Press reports on the endangered places and the Preservation Alliance.
MPR also did a story on the list.
The Star Tribune's Linda Mack wrote a story about it in the May 5 edition.
Not content with just strong-arming politicians, the hypocrites at DeLaSalle also bullied Garrison Keillor into withdrawing from a charitable performance in support of preserving the Minneapolis riverfront by threatening to disrupt the midwest premier of the movie "Prairie Home Companion."
