This is the area where the food court use to be located. Right now it is only an open space with benches and the area where the cafes and such use to be is full of ugly cream colored offices. To the far left is the apartment building annd adjacent to that tower is the expensive condominium complex.

I moved to Minneapolis in Sept.'84 for employment reasons. I selected an apartment on 7th SE, just blocks from St.Anthony Main & Riverplace. I loved that there were people out walking at night. I didn't have to get in my car to "go somewhere." As I didn't know anyone in the cities, I spent many evenings and weekends strolling to this lively, active area. Christmas came to life at the newly opened Riverplace, with its brass railings and wandering carolers!
I brought visitors to this stimulating place -- we ate, drank, shopped, and lingered feeling very cosmopolitan.
I've left the city and sadly pass this less than vibrant area. Taking visitors to the Mall of America just isn't the same.

This picture brings back such found memories. I ran the maintenance and engineering at Riverplace for nearly 17 years, from 4/1984 through 10/2000. In the beginning it was wild and fun trying to "survive" all the events (New years eve, summer concerts & movies, 4th of July, Christmas, etc) Then we went through a few "transitions" some not so fun (Missippi Live night club & then changing all the retail into office) But the worst transition was when the property was sold and the Sentinal Property Management came in. It was at that time that all myself 95% of my fellow employees actually quit after so many fine years. I have not stepped foot onto the property since.
