Photo By John HoffReliable word comes from Homewood resident Brian Reichow--a true urban pioneer in NoMi--that the Snow Foods store and associated strip mall at Penn and Plymouth is being gutted by heavy equipment even as I type these words. The building will apparently remain, but the interior is being completely renovated and revised as part of University of Minnesota "UROC" efforts.
I have, in the past, criticized the U of M for not moving much, much faster at Penn and Plymouth. But today is progress and I celebrate and I thank Brian for getting me this info so I can share it with all of you! The struggle for urban utopia moves forward with shoe leather, emails, blog posts, concerned calls to public officials, 311 reports, and--perhaps most dramatically--on the clanking treads of heavy equipment.

It is great that people are thinking about the environment and working to make the world a safer place. Not only the materials that you are using on your home are safe for the environment but dump trucks have come a long way since the earlier models. We are learning and expanding and coming up with a wide range of safer more effective vehicles for the work force. I think it is great that many auto manufacturers are turning to hybrid vehicles to protect the environment and now they are even using hybrid dump trucks.
