description

You are looking north from 7th Street and 3rd Avenue North. The brick industrial building left of center frame used to be a Ford plant. In March of 2002, this location was scouted as a possible home for a new baseball stadium.

    There used to be a railroad yard where these parking lots are.

    During WW2 this Ford plant was used by Mpls.honeywell Co.for war production. As a driver for Widholm Trf. co. I made many pickups & deliveries there.

    Some folks want to put a Twins Stadium here. Don't take away my cheap parking lot!

    even a ballpark would be better than an ugly parking lot!!! take the bus. it would still be cheaper, and more socially responsible.

    My dad work at the ford for many years and then closed the plant . I used ride my by every other day!

    This is the former RapidPark lot which is now being ripped apart so they can build another stadium which the Minnesota legislature shoved down our throats without a referendum. The old Ford building was used by Honeywell thru the '80's.
    As far as being socially responsible; we pay our taxes don't we?
