ince Claudia Kittock moved to the Mill District a decade ago she’s had to look at a boarded-up building eating up the neighborhood’s prime riverfront real estate. It’s not lost on her that the building in question, the former Fuji Ya restaurant, was pivotal in the history of the neighborhood, an area in downtown Minneapolis that draws people like her not for its “glitzy” appeal, she said, but for its “clear connection to the past.” After sitting vacant for decades, much of the building has come down and will become a new destination honoring the neighborhood’s buried industrial legacy. “Oh, thank God. It’s time,” she said. “The idea that it’s happening I find terribly exciting.”

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board broke ground last fall on Water Works, an overhaul of the riverfront that park leaders have been planning for the better part of a decade. So far, the board has demolished much of the Fuji Ya building, a former Japanese restaurant that was built atop what was left of several mills from the area’s industrial heyday. This spring and summer, the work will focus on what’s underground as the Park Board begins an archaeological excavation to map out what remains of these mill ruins. Park officials say the project will add much-needed visitor amenities, concessions and bathrooms to the area around Mill Ruins Park, which, as part of the Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park, has quickly

94 arrested during Super Bowl sex trafficking operation By Nate Gotlieb / ngotlieb@journalmpls.com Local law enforcement agencies arrested 94 men for agreeing to purchase underage sex during an 11-day Super Bowl sting, a Minneapolis Police sergeant said at a press conference Feb. 20. A team of 50 law enforcement personnel, both sworn and civilian, made 90 felony arrests, three gross misdemeanor arrests and one misdemeanor arrest, Sgt. Grant Snyder said. Over 80 percent of the men arrested were between the ages of 21 and 50, and most had no criminal history other than traffic offenses. “In each of these cases, none of these men, I think it can be argued, actually went on the marketplace, went into the marketplace (or) went on the various ad sites looking for a juvenile,” Snyder said. The sting came nearly four years after the Guardian Angel operation began with a single decoy ad. Snyder said a core law-enforcement team has conducted or

supported as many as 100 operations in seven states in the years since, resulting in almost 1,000 felony arrests. “Our conviction rate approaches 98 percent,” he said. “Point to another crime that has that high of a conviction rate.” Snyder said 9,976 ads were posted on multiple online sites during the 11-day Super Bowl operation, a number not statistically different than the typical period in Minneapolis. He said 1,560 individual people responded to his team’s decoy ads. Forty-one of the arrested men were white, 20 were Hispanic, 12 were black, 11 were Asian and two were Indian. Five were between the ages of 18 and 20, and one was between the ages of 71 and 80. Snyder said that men between the ages of 41 and 50 made up the largest single population of buyers two years ago. He said it’s important to know age information so that SEE SUPER BOWL REPORTS / PAGE 7

Moments in Minneapolis By Cedar Imboden Phillips

HENNEPIN IN TRANSITION

H

ennepin Avenue has long been one of Minneapolis’s most iconic streets. It’s also a lightning rod for debate and frequently competing visions of what the street — and the city — could and should be. Here, a view of 7th & Hennepin, likely dating to the late 1960s or early 1970s. Nicollet Mall had recently opened a block to the east, and new buildings and parking lots had replaced the razed Gateway District to the north. Block E was still thriving, but not without controversy. Longtime residents may remember Musicland, visible on the northeast corner of the intersection. Conversations about the future of Hennepin Avenue continue to this day, capturing more civic attention than any other downtown street other than Nicollet Mall.

NICOLLET ISLAND-EAST BANK

NOW OPEN

The Sonder Shaker

kin·es·the·sia / kin s THeZH(e) / Cassidy Flannery remembers the time he learned the word “sonder,” or the realization that everyone has their own story to tell. Flannery found himself at the top of New York City’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza at 5 a.m. when a fellow bar patron, now a tour guide, uttered the word. Fast forward, and sonder has become the driving theme around Sonder Shaker, a cocktail lounge headed by co-founders Flannery, Leo Mao, Wes Watson and chef Jake Wanak. All four came from various places, from China to Chicago, to live within walking distance of their Nicollet Island-East Bank restaurant. “We’re all from different locations. … It’s very sonder. We find the word very fitting,” said Mao, who with the management team helped design the restaurant with ESG Architects. Flannery, the general manager, has been in and around restaurants all his life, having grown up above his parents’ restaurant in southern Wisconsin. After working at Target headquarters, he went out on his own with his friends and business partners, who didn’t bother looking anywhere else before starting Sonder Shaker. “We love this neighborhood. We want to see this neighborhood grow. We think that by investing in this neighborhood, we really are striving to cater to [residents]. We want to make this the best place it can be,” Watson said. Sonder Shaker opened in late January in the M on Hennepin apartment building, a redevelopment of the former Nye’s Polonaise Room site. The 2,500-square-foot, 75-seat restaurant is located on the opposite end from the new Nye’s Piano Bar. Wanak, formerly of Restaurant Alma, described the seasonal menu as American with a healthy, tropical bent. “I feel like that’s something that this area is lacking,” he said.

Dishes — none of them over $20 — include starters like scallop ceviche ($12, $10 on happy hour) and Brussels sprouts ($11), entrees like a house burger ($12) and a skirt steak ($18) served with chimichurri sauce and yucca fries and desserts like a key lime pie ($7) with house-made graham cracker crust. The “shaker” in the restaurant’s name is a nod toward its cocktail focus. A long list of signature house cocktails ($8–$13) features original takes on Prohibition-era and classic drinks, including Flannery’s mom’s oldfashioned recipe. “The old-fashioned has been selling like crazy. … She’s made it the same way for 30 years, so I had to use that,” he said. Sonder Shaker doesn’t have any taps, but it carries bottles of several local beers. The bar offers small bottles of Miller Lite and Miller High Life, known as ponies or shorties, another tradition from his parents’ restaurant. The atmosphere inside should feel like a living room, Watson said, so guests feel at home and ultimately share their own stories. Tables aren’t spaced too closely together despite the restaurant’s small size. The bar area is set up like a lounge with low leather and velvet chairs. Earlier this month, a couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary at Sonder Shaker. On the same night, two young college students had their first date. Flannery said this is what they wanted to see. “We wanted to bridge the gap between the new as well as meeting the old,” he said. “We’re trying to create that atmosphere where anyone can tell their stories to one another.” The Sonder Shaker, at 130 E. Hennepin Ave., is open for dinner nightly 4 p.m.– midnight. The founders say they’d like to add lunch and weekend brunch this spring.

NORTH LOOP

NOW OPEN New café, co-working space inside new Hennepin Made campus Hennepin Made’s Parallel light fixtures hang above Cambria countertops inside its new café of the same name. Photo by Eric Best

What do coffee and light fixtures have in common? For Hennepin Made co-founder and glassblower Jackson Schwartz, both come down to craft. Both are under one roof at the local lighting company’s new North Loop campus, where it is putting the finishing touches on a coffee shop, production facility, retail shop, event space and co-working office. “If we’re involved in interiors, part of that is art, part of that is design, part of that is function and then all of it, to me, is hospitality,” he said. “It’s the same principles being showcased in a different format.” It’s this philosophy that connects each piece of Hennepin Made’s building, located between Glenwood Avenue and Holden Street near the Minneapolis Farmers Market site in the neighborhood’s West Market District (also referred to as the “West Loop”). Schwartz hopes these other business ventures will bring attention to the area, showcase the company’s products and support a larger mission to build community. “As long as that can facilitate the creativity, then we’re happy,” he said. What was originally supposed to be a 15-seat espresso bar has evolved into Parallel, an approximately 75-seat café that serves Verve Coffee Roasters coffee, beer and wine. The coffee shop is named for the philosophy that the crafts of coffee and glassblowing run parallel, not to mention the company’s Parallel line of fixtures that hang above the bar. Parallel is open 6:30 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m.–6 p.m. on weekends. It offers a lunch menu of sandwiches, soups and salads beginning at 11 a.m. Coming off the café is a 1,500-square-foot retail space that will open soon and offer a mixture of Hennepin Made fixtures, decorative vases, candle holders and more.

company is a U.S. representative for U.K.based furniture maker Ercol and will carry its products. Schwartz promises there will be some surprises. “We want to be that place where you experience some of things that you’re expecting… but then we want to complement that with things that are discoveries,” he said. Next door to the café is the Holden Room, a 5,000-square-foot event space for corporate meetings, lunches and weddings. The minimalist space has already hosted several photo shoots and has its first wedding booked in June. The other side of the building is home to Hennepin & Co., a co-working space with a capacity for about 30 workers between 12 dedicated desks, four private offices and some open seating. Nearly a dozen clients have already joined the space, which features an original terrazzo mosaic of a glassblower, a reference to the 1954 building’s original use as the Ford McNutt Company’s glass warehouse. Between the other business ventures, Hennepin Made has a glassblowing facility that opens onto an atrium for staff and, eventually, weekend tours during the Minneapolis Farmers Market. The 6-year-old company moved its production and offices from Northeast Minneapolis to the new building last year. Its biggest client is Golden Valleybased Room & Board, though it does business with hotels and restaurants across the globe. Rather than shifting focus away from its manufacturing, Schwartz said the campus will build connections to its production and make Hennepin Made a more vibrant place to work. “I want (production) to thrive. I don’t want to have to protect it and shield it. I want to say, ‘No, this is totally viable,’” he said. “We really want (the building) to become a destination that is known in Minneapolis.”

The former Dayton’s department store building is being prepared for its $190 million makeover as developers refine their vision of the downtown landmark. Lead architecture firm Gensler Minneapolis has released updated concepts of the Dayton’s Project, which has so far seen months of demolition to uncover the buildings’ original charms. Mementos are often found on the project site. Crews have a trophy case in their field office filled with pieces of the site’s past as the Macy’s and Dayton’s department stores. General contractor Gardner Builders uncovered a marble fountain behind a wall and found department store Easter eggs in their original box. CEO Bob Gardner called them “delightful surprises.” “This is a jewel of Minneapolis so we want to make sure we do things right,” he said. Each day more than 100 people are doing environmental remediation and nonstructural demolition in the three-building complex on Nicollet Mall, though that will ramp up to 300 workers this June when construction activity is in full swing. So far workers have gutted much of the buildings, taking down old pipes and ducts to reveal windows and scrapping up layers of flooring to expose wood and terrazzo floors. “It’s been great to continue to peel back layers and layers of building and remodeling and retailing over the years to see what we find,” said Steve Bieringer, senior design manager with Gensler Minneapolis. “It is truly amazing how the building evolved and changed over time as retailing changed in this area.” So far more than 36,000 cubic yards of

debris have been taken out of the buildings and 75 percent of that has been recycled. Bieringer said part of the work is determining what must be preserved and what other pieces they can incorporate back into the project with new purposes, such as vintage escalator parts. “Everything that we’re finding is being thoughtfully put into the project,” Gardner said. There’s still a lot of work left to go before the summer of 2019 when the Dayton’s Project is supposed to be ready for tenants. Crews have yet to touch the exterior, replace windows or build a new deck. Gardner said the historic bones of the complex are strong, though crews will need to strengthen columns before additions are put in place. Parts of the wooden foundation of the Westminster Presbyterian Church — its second location was built on the site 135 years ago — can still be found beneath the complex. “You look at that and you’re like ‘Really? This is amazing,’” Gardner said. Eventually the developers hope to get the complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project team is working with the State Historic Preservation Office to maintain the building’s “1920s art deco feel,” which has informed the latest design. The developers have yet to announce tenants beyond a lower-level food hall spearheaded by chef and TV personality Andrew Zimmern and Robert Montwaid. Bieringer said he’s heard plenty of interest in the Dayton’s Project, which boasts floor plates of up to 90,000 square feet. “It’s an exciting project to be a part of,” he said.

Frey nominates new city coordinator Mayor Jacob Frey on Feb. 28 nominated Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde for city coordinator. Rivera-Vandermyde currently serves as deputy city coordinator and was previously director of the city’s Department of Regulatory Services. If her appointment is confirmed by the City Council, she will take over the post occupied since 2014 by Spencer Cronk, who in February started in a new job as city manager of Austin, Texas. Frey praised Rivera-Vandermyde’s “wealth of experience,” noting her work as an attorney and correctional system administrator in Puerto Rico. He also described her as an “architect” of the city’s recently adopted minimum wage and sick and safe time ordinances. Frey said Rivera-Vandermyde’s use of “datadriven analysis” and her “goal-oriented approach” meshed with his own style of working. “We’ve got a very aggressive agenda coming forward at the City of Minneapolis,” he said, describing Rivera-Vandermyde as “exactly the person to take the reins.” The City Coordinator’s Office advises and consults with both the mayor and City Council, oversees city finances and directs the other city departments. It is the office charged with carrying out many of the policies enacted by the city’s elected officials. Rivera-Vandermyde moved to Minnesota in 2006, and in addition to her work with the city she sits on the board of directors for the affordable housing nonprofit HousingLink. Standing next to Frey at a Feb. 28 press event, she described the nomination as a privilege. “It has been great to really work in a city that is moving things forward,” she said. “It is not just talking about change, it is driving change, it is becoming a change agent in times where, nationally, we are not seeing that change move as quickly as we can.” Frey took office in January but delayed the nomination of new department heads until after the Minneapolis-hosted Super Bowl in early February.

heads, but the appointments must be approved by the City Council Executive Committee. A public hearing on each nomination precedes a final vote by the full council. Frey’s other nominations included David Frank for director the Community Planning and Economic Development Department; Frank currently serves as interim director. Frey also nominated Robin Hutcheson, Susan Segal and Patrick Todd for re-appointment to their leadership roles in the Public Works Department, City Attorney’s Office and City Assessor’s Office, respectively. Segal received mostly praise but also some criticism during a March 1 public hearing on her re-appointment in front of the City Council Enterprise Committee. Dave Bicking, a prominent police reform advocate, said he opposed her nomination for a variety of reasons, including the disproportionate prosecution of people of color. Bicking also raised the issue of a legal opinion offered by Segal in 2012 that allowed the city to make a $150 million contribution to the construction of U.S. Bank Stadium without

City wins court case on minimum wage A Hennepin County District Court judge sided with Minneapolis in a lawsuit that sought to invalidate the city’s municipal minimum wage ordinance. Mayor Jacob Frey described the outcome as “a big win for workers” that “solidifies Minneapolis as a laboratory of democracy.” The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce filed the lawsuit in November, less than two months before the first of the wage hikes called for in the ordinance took effect Jan. 1. Joined by co-plaintiffs TwinWest Chamber of Commerce, Minnesota Recruiting and Staffing Association and Graco Inc., the Minnesota

Chamber of Commerce argued the state set a minimum wage with the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act and that a local wage ordinance would conflict with state law. All of the plaintiffs except Graco, a Northeast Minneapolis-based manufacturer, had dropped out of the lawsuit by Feb. 28 when Judge Susan N. Burke denied their request to rule the municipal minimum wage ordinance invalid and prohibit the city from enforcing its wage rules. Burke wrote that the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act “sets a floor, not a ceiling, for minimum wage regulation.” “Nothing in the MFLSA preempts local offi-

putting the issue to voters in the form of a referendum. That issue was also raised during 2014 re-appointment proceedings for Segal. In 2016, Segal was one of several city officials who accepted free seat in a stadium luxury suite controlled by the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority. She later reimbursed the MSFA for the ticket, but Bicking said it raised questions about Segal’s ethics. “For someone in that position to accept free tickets to a game at the stadium that she helped ram through, I can’t even imagine how someone wouldn’t say, ‘Oh my goodness, I can’t take these tickets,’” he said. At least seven people testified in support of Segal’s appointment at the same public hearing, including Hennepin County Chief Public Defender Mary Moriarty, who described Segal as “incredibly strong in the area of criminal justice reform.” Former City Council Member Elizabeth Glidden said Segal was a “brilliant attorney” who was pushing progressive reforms. Frey said he was “100 percent behind Susan Segal as city attorney.”

cials from imposing a higher minimum wage,” she wrote. In a statement released Feb. 28, City Attorney Susan Segal said she was “very pleased with the outcome in this important case.” “The court’s decision is well-reasoned and affirms the basic authority of the City to address local needs — in this case, by providing a minimum wage more in tune with costs of living in an urban center and that will promote the health and well-being of City workers through a more livable wage,” Segal said.

Snyder also said that men of color made up a larger proportion of arrestees than two years ago. He said increased outreach efforts appear to be successfully reaching white men but not serving people of color as well. Law enforcement made in-person contact with 28 potential victims during the 11 days, Snyder said, adding that half of the victims came from outside Minnesota. Adult Asian women made up the highest proportion of victims, Snyder said, adding that Asian women, primarily adult Chinese women who either are undocumented or overstay in the U.S., are among the most vulnerable. The Super Bowl team consisted of personnel from local, state and federal agencies, along with its service partners, Minneapolis-based Source MN and YouthLink MN. The nonprofits organized service-response teams from a variety of local nonprofits and agencies, such as The Link, Breaking Free and Cornerstone. The team worked more than 7,000 hours during the operation, Snyder said. “Simply, they did whatever we asked them to do,” he said. Laura Mulliken, director of community engagement for SourceMN, said 80 percent of trafficking in Minnesota starts with an online interaction. “That makes those women really difficult to find,” she said. “You aren’t going to find them on street outreach as we kind of typically historically thought about it.” SourceMN has developed over the last two years an outreach program to women who are being sold online, Mulliken said. The organization makes contract with them over text, offers to get together with them and reminds them that “they are valuable and loved just as they are,” she said. “They, over time, many times, will reach

back to us for resources or a next step” Mulliken said. Mulliken said 40 churches came together to create a 20-bed shelter space at Hope Community Church in downtown Minneapolis during the Super Bowl week. “It was just a beautiful place of safety for them to just be who they were,” she said.

154 counterfeit tickets confiscated on Super Bowl Sunday The Minneapolis Police Department and partnering agencies also recovered 154 counterfeit tickets worth an estimated $900,024 on Super Bowl Sunday, officers reported at another press conference on Feb. 20. A 65-member counterfeit merchandising and ticketing unit arrested 19 people over Super Bowl weekend and assisted the Bloomington Police Department in making similar arrests at the Mall of America, Cmdr. Christopher Granger said. Counterfeit tickets were being sold anywhere from $400 to $5,000, Lt. Kim Lund said. “There was no way that we could get somebody into the Super Bowl if they had a counterfeit ticket. Period,” said Shawn Neudauer, a public affairs officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Granger said the counterfeit merchandising and ticketing unit included partners from DHS, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the FBI and St. Paul Police Department, among others. The unit began its operation on Jan. 26 and was broken down into five plain-clothes teams, a day and a night shift, an investigative car and a responsive crime-lab team. A sixth team worked exclusively to target known counterfeiters from out of town starting the Wednesday before the game, he said. The teams recovered 7,597 counterfeit items of merchandise worth an estimated $520,000, in addition to the tickets, Granger said. He said the NFL issued cease-and-

Photo by Nate Gotlieb desist orders to businesses caught selling the counterfeit merchandise. Granger said the teams recovered five different types of counterfeit Super Bowl tickets. They interviewed everyone that was caught with the fake tickets, Lund said. “Our fear was that they would go back out of the perimeter and resell the ticket,” she said. Lund noted that the authentic game tickets had heat-sensitive ink on the back of them. She said people from around the world purchased fake tickets on the street during Super Bowl week. Victims hadn’t recovered any financial losses as of Feb. 20, she said, though she added that there should be some indictments coming down federally. Neudauer said there’s often very little law enforcement can do for people who buy counterfeit tickets. He said it’s especially heartbreaking when there are kids involved, noting one family from North Dakota who spent about $1,500 for a Vikings game in December.

“Watching those kids and their faces, they’re just crestfallen,” he said. Granger said there was a steady increase in the number and types of counterfeit tickets as the Vikings season progressed. Many victims in those cases were forwarded to Detective Pat Gilligan of the Burnsville Police Department since a couple of the purchases happened in Burnsville. Lund said there are only three places people can buy a ticket to get into an NFL game: NFL Ticket Exchange, a team box office or Ticketmaster. Neudauer said victims are sometimes reimbursed for purchasing counterfeit tickets, depending on the kind of case and convictions that law enforcement can obtain. But he said it’s more of a situation where buyers should beware. “Once you’ve been scammed, it’s a violation of your privacy,” he said. “You can never pay somebody to make that better.”

City Club Apartments

Costco Business Center*

A developer has demolished a 1914 addition to the Handicraft Guild Building at 10th & Marquette to make way for a residential high-rise that will preserve the original building next door. A new vision for the project from Michigan-based City Club Apartments recently surfaced. Concepts show a 16-story mixed-use apartment building, which the developer lists as breaking ground early this fall. The company paid nearly $5.7 million for the properties at 1000 and 1016 Marquette Ave. S., according to a certificate of real estate value made public in January. The buildings have sat unused for the past two years after former building owner Pratt Ordway and Village Green Cos. released a plan for a similarly sized apartment building in 2015.

It appears Costco is close to opening a store in Northeast Minneapolis as it prepares to finalize signage for the building. The company has applied for a variance to allow for a 280-square-foot wall sign on a Costco Business Center it has proposed for a nearly 13-acre site in the Mid-City Industrial neighborhood, according to an application before the city’s Zoning Board of Adjustment. Part of the retail giant’s business-focused line, the store will be open to all Costco members, although it won’t have the bakery and other elements of the regular stores. The Washington-based company purchased the 175,000-square-foot building for $8.3 million in 2016.

1500 Nicollet Plymouth-based Dominium has demolished the remaining buildings on a site in Loring Park where it is building a 183-unit affordable housing complex. The developer broke ground last December on the project, which would be restricted to tenants making between approximately $38,000–$63,000 depending on the number of occupants. Once complete around May 2019, the building will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, as well as 7,000 square feet of retail space, a public courtyard and a private playground. Inside, residents will have access to a community kitchen, yoga studio and an interactive transit schedule. The site was home to several buildings, including one home to Jerusalem Restaurant, which closed last August.

1530 JOHNSON ST. NE MINNEAPOLIS PARK AND RECREATION BOARD

Northeast Recreation Center* The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will soon celebrate the grand opening of a new 15,000-square-foot recreation center near the Quarry shopping center in Northeast Minneapolis. The Northeast Recreation Center will open on March 10 with activities from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. The facility, located near the Jim Lupient Water Park, features a full-court gym, community learning kitchen and a lobby with a pingpong and foosball table. The Park Board is pursuing LEED certification for the project, which has solar power installations on the roof. Youth athletics, preschool, senior and adaptive program will begin inside the rec center this summer.

The Capella Tower, one of downtown’s tallest skyscrapers, has sold for $255 million. San Francisco-based Shorenstein Properties bought the 58-story building and the adjoining 22-story Star Tribune Building from ASB Real Estate Investments. The Maryland-based firm paid $245 million for the office towers and has owned them for the past 11 years, according to a release. The complex features 1.4 million square feet of office space. Its tenants include Capella University, Baker Tilly and WeWork. In 2014, ASB put nearly $10 million into renovating the Capella Tower to add a health club, event space and flexible work spaces.

9th year. SThe t S project, which hasn’t been formally named Eyet, consists of 360 units spread across 29 occupied floors. Late last year, the Nicollet Mall-based developer unveiled a plan to build a high-rise on the same block as Hotel Ivy. It will require the demolition of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, a building that has been unused for more than a decade. The skyway-connected tower would feature commercial spaces on the main level and second story. The developer is awaiting a ruling from the Minnesota Court of Appeals due by early May related to an approximately 40-story condo tower it’s been planning in Southeast Minneapolis for several years. A neighborhood group has brought two tracks of litigation against the project, one of which has been dismissed.

East Side Facility* The City of Minneapolis is finalizing its plan for a new street and equipment maintenance facility in Northeast Minneapolis. Public Works will use the facility as a garage for public vehicles and storage for its equipment. In order for the project to move forward, the City Planning Commission will have to approve several applications to rezone the site as an I1 and/or I2 industrial district. HCM Architects is handling the project’s design, which the City of Minneapolis hopes will achieve LEED Gold certification.

41 10TH ST. N. JR HOSPITALITY, HAWKEYE HOTELS

Fairfield, Cambria hotels JR Hospitality and Hawkeye Hotels are planning two hotels on a vacant site in the southwestern corner of downtown Minneapolis. The site largely consists of a surface parking lot operated by MVP REIT, which has owned the property for the past two years. JR Hospitality of Eagan presented a preliminary proposal for a Cambria Hotel & Suites and a Fairfield Inn and Suites at an early March meeting of the Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association’s Land Use Committee. The hotels would build out an area home to the Harbor Light Center and the Hawthorne Transit Center.

Minneapolis-based Sherman Associates paid $3.25 million for a 0.83-acre site along Park Avenue between Washington Avenue and 2nd Street, according to a certificate of real estate value filed in late February. The developer had previously proposed a 122-unit mixed-income apartment building with four for-sale townhomes. About one-fifth of the units will be affordable housing for residents making 60 percent of less of the area median income. Restaurateur Kim Bartmann will have a restaurant and bakery on the main level, according to a proposal from last year.

SHRUBS: AMERICA’S NOT-SO-NEW DRINKING VINEGAR

L

et’s talk shrubs. Now, I know there are two feet of snow covering your junipers and boxwoods right now. I’m talking about drinking vinegars. Shrubs are a mixture of vinegar, sugar, fruits and herbs created to be mixed with soda water for a dynamic sweet-and-sour beverage or with liquor for a simple, flavorful cocktail. Shrubs and other vinegar-based drinks — like switchels, which we see popping up on craft cocktail menus and in little bottles

at farmers markets — have much of their history in colonial America. Before the invention of refrigeration, vinegar was used to preserve fruit. The syrup that is produced during this process became a widespread drink. Everyone from field workers and slaves who mixed the vinegar syrups with water to stay hydrated to patrons of big city saloons enjoyed this combination of vinegar, sugar and fruit. Shrubs’ history can date back even further

to ancient cultures in Persia, China and the Caribbean where vinegar drinks are still very popular on warm days. The multi-dimensional flavor of shrubs is what originally drew Phil Calvit, owner of Minneapolis-based Calvit’s Shrubs, to the craft. “I started making shrubs when I needed something interesting to drink after I quit drinking [alcohol],” Phil said. “I started playing around with different flavor combos myself, and enough friends and relatives told me, ‘Man, this stuff is delicious!’ that I decided to try selling it.” His shrubs feature unique flavors like tomatillo-tamarind with hibiscus, beet-ginger with Szechuan pepper, and Thai basil with lime leaf. They’re great with club soda for a dynamic soft drink or with a shot of liquor for craft cocktails at home. They also make fantastic gifts. Calvit’s Shrubs are available at the Mill City Farmers Market’s remaining indoor winter markets on March 10, March 24, April 14 and April 28. The indoor market runs 10 a.m.–1 p.m. with 30-plus local food makers, farmers and artists inside the Mill City Museum, 704 S. 2nd St. You can learn more at millcityfarmersmarket.org.

The Glamorous Viking 11/2 ounces aquavit 1 ounce Calvit’s Beet Ginger Shrub Squeeze of fresh orange juice Fresh ground black pepper Shake aquavit and shrub with ice. Pour into a martini glass. Add a squeeze of orange juice and a grind or two of fresh ground black pepper.

Not-A-Rosé A non-alcoholic option that hits a lot of the same tart, tangy, sweet, floral, spicy notes as a rosé (and, yes, looks lovely in a wine glass). 1 ounce Calvit’s Tomatillo Tamarind Shrub 3 ounces tonic water Combine ingredients in a wine glass. Almost too simple, right?

The Lynnhurst Named in honor of the Shrubber’s home turf. 11/2 ounces good bourbon 1 ounce Calvit’s Ginger Lemongrass Shrub 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice Splash of club soda Lemon twist (because it’s pretty) Stir together the bourbon, shrub and lemon juice. Pour into a low ball over ice. Top with club soda and garnish with a twist of lemon.

‘Allen Ruppersberg: Intellectual Property: 1968–2018’ In the 1960s, a group of L.A. artists began to mimic the look and feel of commercial marketing strategies by treating viewers as consumers. Among them were Allen Ruppersberg, one of the first generation of American conceptual artists who changed the way art is thought about and created. “Allen Ruppersberg: Intellectual Property,” organized by the Walker Art Center, is the first comprehensive U.S. survey of the artist’s work in more than 30 years. Ruppersberg is known for creating participatory artworks that masquerade as everyday objects, such as a diner and a hotel, and offer a multi-layered experience for the viewer. “Intellectual Property” showcases half a century of his best-known works, including the iconic “Al’s Café” and “Al’s Grand Hotel,” which converted physical spaces into fully functioning concepts, in unprecedented depth and breadth. The show also features some of his lesser-known works, including photo-based narratives that combine text and image and installations of his commercial letterpress posters and drawings, as well as selections of his films, books and various ephemera.

‘Lauren Roche: Collected Vessels’ Lauren Roche received a Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Fellowship in 2012 — an auspicious moment for the artist, who had yet to show a collection of artwork publicly. After showing her work in several group shows over the next few years, she had her first solo show at Bockley Gallery in 2016, an eerie series of figural drawings of women and animals. Now, the Minneapolis artist makes her return to the Kenwood gallery with another transfixing collection of artworks. “Collected Vessels” consists of five dynamic mixed-media works on paper in which female nudes, animals, rough fields of color, abstracted furniture, ceramics and textile forms float, touch and bleed onto one another. The dramatic new compositions of gouache, watercolor and acrylic suggest solidarity and harmony within a communal setting, while smudges of red and black become mysterious masks and veils.

No Fiction Festival The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) has been on the forefront of the contemporary chamber music landscape since founding its Liquid Music series in 2012. Created in partnership with music programmer Kate Nordstrum, Liquid Music has since become a destination for world premieres and commissioned works featuring adventurous, crossgenre hybrids of contemporary classical music and visual art, music and dance. Now, the SPCO is debuting the No Fiction Festival, which combines the innovation of the Liquid Music series with the intimacy of its long-running Chamber Music Series. Programming includes a “Strong Sisters,” a series of SPCO chamber music concerts centering on the theme of sisterhood and featuring works by composers Hildegard von Bingen, the Boulanger sisters (Nadia and Lili), Jessie Montgomery and Dame Gillian Whitehead. The festival also features two Liquid Music–presented works, “Fanm d’Ayiti (Women of Haiti)” by multi-genre performance artist Nathalie Joachim, who has long been pushing the boundaries with her flute, and Brian Harnetty’s “Shawnee, Ohio,” about life in a small Appalachian mining town, as well as events with Macalester College and Carleton College.

‘Artists in the Kitchen’ The long-standing relationship between food and art is at the center of “Artists in the Kitchen,” an innovative new exhibition that pairs 50 female artists with 50 female chefs, restaurateurs and food writers from the Twin Cities. The partnership between the 50 duos began last December, with the artist taking inspiration from their paired chef for a new piece of artwork. Each artist will also incorporate a textile element into their work as a nod to exhibition host, the Textile Center. Featured chefs include 2018 James Beard Award nominees, Diane Yang of Spoon and Stable and Michelle Gayer of Salty Tart Bakery, Ann Kim of Young Joni and Lisa Carlson of Chef Shack, with artists including figurative painter Caitlin Karolczak, illustrator-artist Jennifer Davis and milliner Celina Kane. The show will be on display in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs (WCR) national conference from April 21 to 23.

Cuban Film Festival Against the backdrop of the current U.S. administration’s threats to recently improved U.S.-Cuban relations and loosened travel restrictions for U.S. citizens, the 9th-annual Cuban Film Festival offers Minnesotans a timely opportunity to view a curated selection of Cuban films. This year’s seven selections highlight Cuba’s cultural heritage. They include 1987’s “Buscando a Chano Pozo,” a documentary about the legend of Chano Pozo, a Cuban jazz musician and dancer credited with playing a major role in the founding of Latin jazz, and 2014’s “Me Dicen Cuba (They Call Me Cuba),” which documents the unique experience and outlook of more than 70 prominent musicians in Cuba today on universal subjects such as peace, love, family and community. Other films include offbeat romantic comedy “El Techo (On the Roof)” and “Cuba and the Cameraman,” which examines the ways Cuban changed over the course of 45 years under Fidel Castro. When: Ends April 5 Where: St. Anthony Main Theater, 115 SE Main St. Cost: $6–$8 Info: mspfilm.org

MUSIC

1

Head in the clouds

Ness Nite spends a lot of time dreaming. The 22-year-old artist’s debut album has her diving into different pages of her diary, each track putting in her a different role, from a confident lover and horoscope-reading witch to a social media-fueled dreamer and an anxious tightrope walker. Nite, who uses a stage name, falls confidently into each role. The former Minneapolis resident said her night owl persona is more focused on pursuing her dreams. “(It’s) a version of myself that doesn’t have all the insecurities and random stuff through my mind. (Nite is) a focused version of myself,” she said. It’s not a confidence she always had. On her first release, an EP dubbed “Nite Time,” her voice sinks back a bit more into the production. Two years later, Nite is still making what she calls “braless music,” or music that feels like taking your bra off. “I gained a lot of confidence from my first project, and I think it’s really evident in my new album. When I do rap, I think it’s way more aggressive, more confident,” she said. On “Dream Girl,” her debut album, Nite realizes some of her dreams. She sounds bold even when she’s talking about mental illness (“Tightrope”) or bragging about how strong her love is (“My Love”). The record was produced by Mike Frey and recorded in his basement studio in South Minneapolis and then mixed and mastered by Alex Tumay back in New York where she lives now. Nite finds power in dreaming, which gives her the ability to imagine herself fully realized. On “Magic B----,” she defends her creative energy, something that’s independent of men, while working on her next spell or vision (“Too busy dreaming / you can’t go the places I go”). On “Watercolor Roses,” Nite rap-sings about inventing her own beauty over a beat right out of a Nintendo video game. Her central metaphor is about “living your life how you want to.” “It’s a metaphor for something beautiful and manufactured, but it’s not supposed to be bad,” she said. Nite’s strong self-awareness continues on songs like “Tightrope,” which has her rapping about not having everything figured out, though she knows she’s making the right steps in her life (“I know it don’t seem like / I’ve found my peace but I / been walking more steady every second since I left / steady picking up the piece I find in every step”). The 12-track album showcases Nite’s dreamy voice in nearly as many emotions and styles. Connecting the songs is Nite’s multidimensional personality, unapologetic woman energy and hustle on a higher plane. Nite will play First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on Friday, March 23. The 18-plus show will be hosted by Mica Grimm and will feature local musicians DJ Sophia Eris, Izell Pyramid and Dua. Nite released “Dream Girl” on March 2 via POW Recordings.

FOOD

Taco takeover

What if all the food groups — tacos, beer and coffee — played nice? It would probably look a lot like Northern Coffeeworks’ taco takeover and barista competition coming up on Friday, March 23 from 7 p.m.–10 p.m. Along with coffee connoisseurs slinging the best-looking lattes in town, the coffee bar near the Mill District is letting Jorge Guzman take over the kitchen. The James Beard Award-nominated chef will serve cochinita pibil, chorizo-potato and refried lentil tacos ($5 each), along with sikil pak ($7), a traditional pumpkin seed dip from his hometown in the Yucatan. If that wasn’t enough to get you in the door, then Niko Tonks, the head brewer of Fair State Brewing Cooperative, will be collaborating with Guzman to release a one-time special beer for the event. DJ Stepmom will be spinning tunes for the event at 1027 Washington Ave. S.

DRINKS

Coffee saloon

A lot of high-end coffee shops are looking like high-end restaurants these days, with liquor licenses, food menus and Instagrammable décor. Hodges Bend is their spiritual successor. I’d say the best description of the restaurant and cocktail bar is a coffee saloon. You’ll find the coffeehouse-restaurant right at the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul near a LRT station. You’ll know when you’ve gone far enough on University Avenue when you see an

apartment building with St. Paul in big letters. Inside, Hodges Bend looks like a Western-themed bar with chandeliers made of glass bottles and a large wooden bar. But the focus is on the coffee. Hodges Bend serves its own line of beans, along with a couple different kinds of coldbrewed coffees, drinks with various brewing methods and an espresso bar menu. The coffee and tonic ($5) should probably be the next big (non-alcoholic) brunch cocktail, but there are plenty of real cocktails to enjoy. The

Clover Club ($10) is a frothy raspberry-infused dream of a drink with gin and lemon. The bar serves a blend of classic and signature cocktails. Coffee supposedly suppresses hunger, but if hunger strikes, Hodges Bend has a curried fried chicken ($15) to snack on. Its burger ($12), which comes topped with house bacon, American cheese and a house burger sauce, is nearly decadent. Hodges Bend is the coffee lover’s paradise, and, better yet, many haven’t caught on yet (it only opened in January).

journalmpls.com / March 8–21, 2018 15 of Whirlpools” in Dakota, referring to St. Anthony Falls — will be the city’s first yearround park concessionaire. It also brings a partnership with Sherman, a restaurateur who broke a crowdfunding record in his campaign to turn his Sioux Chef catering operation into his own restaurant. Owamni will join several other park restaurants, including Lake Harriet’s Bread and Pickle, Lake Nokomis’ Sandcastle, Minnehaha Park’s Sea Salt Eatery and Bde Maka Ska’s upcoming Lola’s on the Lake. Evers said some of those agreements have been controversial, but overall the board and the public have been more open to partnerships. “Over the last 15 years, that definitely has changed. Not just the Park Board, I think the community has been more willing to … try it more than before. Now there’s an understanding that there are ways to activate public land through public-private partnerships,” he said.

FROM MINNEAPOLIS MILLS / PAGE 1 become one of the top park destinations in the metro thanks in part to the mills. For visitors flocking to the riverfront’s popular sites, officials say the experience can be disjointed. “Everybody loves to walk the Stone Arch Bridge and look at Mill Ruins Park, and then you get to the end and what do you do? There’s one picnic table in the glaring sun, a parking lot and a falling-down building,” said Kate Lamers, a project manager and landscape architect with the board. The building exists as a patchwork of new cinderblocks, pieces of the restaurant and mill masonry. Beneath the surrounding parking lot and hills are ruins. Rather than a full rehabilitation, it’s the Park Board’s plan to create a glass pavilion within the structures to house a restaurant lead by chef Sean Sherman. “We’re not going to try to make it look like a perfect wall again. It will read as a ruin,” Lamers said. The work is part of the first phase of Water Works, which is on track for completion next year barring any rare surprises found underground. Lamers said they already have a good idea of what they’ll unearth. “I think at this point the only bad thing would be three-quarters buried and sticking up through our floor,” she said. A second phase will focus on the surrounding area closer to the Mississippi River. That work, which will uncover additional ruins and add a walking bridge at the end of the Stone Arch Bridge, is tentatively planned to begin in 2021 if the Legislature approves the board’s $5 million bonding request.

Flour-powered history While Pillsbury and General Mills remain household names today, their factories were part of a larger network of nearly 30 mills, once one of the densest concentrations of industry in the world. David Stevens, a public programs specialist at Mill City Museum, said these mills were so significant because they revolutionized flour production and changed the ways Americans ate. They put Minneapolis on the map more than a century ago. “The flour mills are what built Minneapolis. These were big, regional and international systems that these millers built. They scaled up flour milling in a way that was unprecedented,” he said. Despite their historical significance, many mills didn’t survive the industrial revolution that took place in the Twin Cities. Many were shut down and demolished due to changes in the industry, which

In 1945, railroads partitioned off parts of the Mill District, which by then had already seen the decline of the local flour industry. Photo courtesy of the Minnesota Historical Society peaked in the early 1900s. Fires and explosions took out several. Only a few intact flour mills remain. The project will preserve pieces of three mills representing some of the last remaining untouched relics of the city’s milling industry. The Occidental Mill was a two-story feed mill built in 1883 that was damaged in a fire a century ago. The Columbia Mill, a five-story flour mill, became the B mill of Northwestern Consolidated Milling a decade later after it was built in 1883. The oldest and most publically visible of the buildings is the Bassett Sawmill, whose turbines supplied hydropower to the other two mills. A fire in 1897 destroyed much of the building, though it continued to house tenants until the restaurant took over in 1968. It wasn’t until 1990 that the Park Board bought it. Back in the 1960s, Stevens said, the riverfront was still raw and industrial. “Nobody was building anything new for 50 years, and it was really on hard times,” he said. “Then Fuji Ya comes in and builds something new and gives a reason for somebody to come down to the riverfront.” Lamers said Fuji Ya’s founder, Reiko Westin, and her family were “pioneers of the riverfront,” who came years before elected officials would make the area a campaign talking point. “(The Westins) saw potential for people here where nobody else saw it as people space,” she said.

Overhauling the riverfront and running a downtown restaurant are major feats for two organizations that have gotten more adept in partnerships and raising private money in recent years. Leading the charge has been the Minneapolis Parks Foundation, the Park Board’s philanthropic partner. The organization is $4.5 million away from hitting its $18 million fundraising goal for Water Works, which will need $2.9 million of that to begin construction early this fall. Executive Director Tom Evers said the project wouldn’t be possible without the nonprofit’s initial fundraising to get designs in order to bring in donations. It’s a big step for the 15-year-old nonprofit, which is supporting several landmark improvements along the Mississippi River under the board’s RiverFirst initiative. “(The Park Board) didn’t have the private philanthropy to take a couple risks and figure it out,” Evers said. Lamers said historic reuse projects like this are big risks for traditionally risk-averse public agencies. “Otherwise I think the Park Board would easily own these ruins until they crumble,” she said. Once the building is complete, the restaurant will be a unique expansion of the board’s business enterprises. The new Water Works restaurant, tentatively named Owamni: An Indigenous Kitchen — meaning “Place

Water Works comes at a time when the Mill District and the east side of downtown are attracting attention from developers, residents and visitors. Stevens said he’s hopeful the project can create a “critical mass” of visitor amenities in the neighborhood and attract even more interest. Rather than compete, he said historic destinations like the Mill City Museum and Water Works will complement each other. “The more of the historic resources that are revealed, folks are going to better understand the scale of the operations that happened here that you can’t right now,” he said. That history will be on display at Water Works. Unlike another ruins park, Stevens said the pavilion will invite guests in to connect to the architectural history. “On one hand, putting a building inside it seems like an intrusion. But I think that, in the end, that’s going to be a better stewardship of the building, because rather than opening up these ruins and exposing them to air and activity, they’re going to do a new, sensitive building that engages those ruins and allows us to experience them,” he said. Evers said it’s this engagement that’s at the heart of Water Works, which he said is about “making a space for new stories to unfold and past stories to be told.” “This is finally a place that no matter where you live in the region, if you come here you’ll be protected from the cold, you’ll get a bite to eat and you’ll get to be on the riverfront,” he said.
