The Rake: Sweet Spot: Elliot Park, Minneapolis
22 Reader Comments
I don't have a rooting interest, but I'm looking forward to a heck of a football game @ the dome tonight. Pregame "tailgating" @ Glueck's for happy hour.
Go Vikings!!!!
I like Elliot Park, but I'm not poor enough to live there. Yet.
I live in Elliot Park, and I'm pretty poor, but at least I have Al Franken as a neighbor.
does he really?
ps, max, let's be downtown frandz, plz?
BDTFF!
:D
:-0 === bleaarrgghhh
My emoticons are always vomiting.
like the pumpkins!
I thought Al lived in the Warehouse district? I live in Elliot Park too, just because I can say Max Sparber is my neighbor. Skyrape, the new tall ugly building under construction, is a real jerk. And the Band Box is quaint, but I get clausterphobic there.
Oh shit, it's a home game tonight? Vikings fans are a lot more screwed up in the head than Twins fans or NCAA basketball fans. When they invade a neighborhood, they really invade. This is an easy game to get psyched up for, so I bet the tailgating crowd will be extra rowdy tonight. Go Vikes!
Mymother went to a fundraiser at the Franken residence and said it was just a few blocks from my, in those new faux brownstones underneath that giant condo on 10th and Portland.
max, that sounds like a Jewish conspiracy.
Elliot Park has always stricken me as a forgotten neighborhood, but so is that whole east end of downtown. You'd think an area that hosts somewhere near 100 sporting events a year, and is conveniently nestled at the junction of 35W and 94 would be booming.
It's also home to some glorious Victorian brownstones; it's one of the only parts of downtown that survived the razing of skid row back in the 1950s. And the park itself is lovely.
Let's play know your cut of meat. If Downtown MPLS was a cow, Elliot Park would be the __________.
I'm going with Tri-Tip, which is highly sought after in Central California where they like to grill it over oak, and serve on garlic toast with just a dab of barbecue sauce.
The tongue. Definately the tongue.
Who the f' is Elliott Park?
Is he in Hookers and Blow?
Already kicked some drunk fratboys out of our parking lot in Elliot Park. Its a shame the drug dealers aren't available on demand.
and is conveniently nestled at the junction of 35W and 94
actually this is WHY it's so forgotten. A giant highway interchange does not make a neighbourhood good. Plus there's very little access from either highway to the neighbourhood, so all they do for the area is block it off from adjacent neighbourhoods.
"Elliot Park...the other EP"
I consider being separated from the surrounding areas a plus in this case. Considering that said neighbors are Cedar Riverside, East Franklin, HCMC and the Convention Center, I'd prefer take the freeway. Hell, I might even go buy an old victorian just to sit & watch the cars go by.
Based on the Elliot Park Jewish Conspiracy, I'd say that it's the Brisket.
It's more deckle than brisket
he lives in grant park.
rich bastard
re: skyrape...very nice
