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.

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.

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?
