• Congratulation to Holy Land for hitting it big in the New York Times this week! The Times visited Minneapolis to talk hummus.
  
  
  
• Several big new business openings in Uptown this week: new restaurant Uptown Cafeteria & Support Group is open now at Calhoun Square, and a new Apple Store is set to open on June 19, at the site of the former Uptown Bar & Cafe.
  
  
  
• The Corcoran Neighborhood Organization is working with CURA at the University of Minnesota to study parking and development at Hiawatha & Lake.
  
  "The research project, which began on June 7, aims to measure the current demand and anticipate new demand for parking brought by mixed-use redevelopment projects in the Corcoran neighborhood. Moreover, the study will engage and convene the YWCA of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Public Schools, the City of Minneapolis, prospective developers, and others in a round table conversation about parking demand, precedents and possible solutions, and shared opportunities for cost savings and fund raising. A final report will help inform ongoing area development."
