Calhoun Square — Attraction in Minneapolis

Calhoun square is an unsafe place. I had my locker broken into at the gym and when I went to tell security they let me know there were no cameras on the building. My entire wallet was stolen and when I tried to leave the parking ramp I had no way of paying. I pressed the button on the screen to call for help & the security guards told me to just use my phone to pay. Well some of us don’t have our cards on the phone and I just had all my things stolen!! I had to fight with them to let me leave. They then made me wait 10-15 minutes to leave.

The chemistry of this building has changed and sometimes the over enhanced upgrade kills the authenticity and scares away vendors which is the one thing that genuinely creates character. Unfortunately this place has a lack of customers in order to keep independent vendors above water. Somehow this place has created the ambiance of where only a chain can afford to be existent however with that leaving the energy remaining cold and stale is how the cycle of this process works in my eyes which I find...

This building has potential, only main reason why this still exist is because of LA fitness right now. Although last week had more people, but only because there was a Art alley, which was nice to see and I hoped the artist made some success over there. But stuff like that doesn't happen often. I'm sure this mall was popular 10-15 years ago, but because a lot of places are closing and the environment has changed around uptown Minneapolis I kinda understand. Plus I guess most people most get annoyed with paying the parking lot which I don't see the point when that place is a ghostown. I can only assume people pay for parking is to go to...
