Nicollet Avenue Gathering Spaces?
Filed Under art, businesses, community engagement, redevelopment | Leave a Comment
Picture a Nicollet Avenue main street from Lake to 40th Street with bustling shoppers, blinking lights, and chattering people.
Then tell us, where are the people gathering to greet each other, pass a few minutes, and catch up on the community gossip? Which intersections or nooks along that stretch seem ripe for creating welcoming and vibrant gathering spaces? What do you see happening at each? Email your ideas for Ben and Marjorie, the Nicollet Avenue Artist Team to info@kingfield.org
