Talk:Northeast, Minneapolis

message: I just put this up, but there's some changes I'd like. First off I need to find a better photo. The current one doesn't really do the old milling district justice. So if you have one, feel free. Otherwise I'll be looking for a replacement. I also want to add more about the current state of "Nordeast" focusing on the arts more, maybe talking about art-a-whirl more, maybe adding the logo. Rx StrangeLove 02:14, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: New NE article

message: I went ahead and threw the other common short-name into the first line.  Despite two different redirects (from Nordeast and Nordeast Minneapolis), the name was oddly never mentioned in this article. --Bobak 18:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nordeast 

message: No one who lives in Northeast calls it Nordeast. 
I have lived in Northeast for 10+ years and, with rare exception (maybe 4 or 5 times in these 10 years,) I have only heard people from other parts of the city use the term. 
My guess is at one time it was a mildly amusing term for locals to use mocking and/or celebrating the ethnic history of the quadrant, but when people from other parts of the city started using the term, usually in some psudo-scandanavian accent not unlike the Swedish Chef, it was time to put the term to bed. It's not as much offensive as it is stupid. Hardly anything paints one as a non-local faster than using this term.
I was born in NE and have lived there ever since. while "Nordeast" is not commonly used, it's not frowned upon either. I remember my grandparents referring to "Nordeast" many a time while growing up. You'll find that many establishments in the area still use the neighborhood moniker proudly. Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge, for example, uses the word a few times in their menu. Call it "stupid" if you want, but its a part of NE history that many of us still like.
:Agree, it's common enough and certainly used by residents and businesses in NE. Part of it's history and is still a well known way to refer to the area. RxS 03:03, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  nordeast 

message: This article doesn't really cover much of NE outside of the St. Anthony Main area. Everything down Marshall, University, and Central seems to be completely left out. Places like the Minnesota Center for Photography, the Holy Land Deli, and the myriad NE bars (Grumpy's, Mayzlacks, Polish Palace), are the reason many non-nordeasters come to the area.   Any intent to remedy this?
: This article needs SERIOUS help. First its geographically unclear, what is Northeast? Everything northeast of the river all the way to the border with Columbia Heights? Or merely the Old St. Anthony downtown? Every picture in this article is about Old St. Anthony but that is not Northeast Minneapolis, sure we call it Northeast as its the oldest downtown of the northeast area. But yeah Psycho Suzys, Holyland, lots of random historic buildings I know nothing about, and not to mention dun dun dun, Riverside Power Plant railing in lots of yummy coal to the area. And what about my favorite St. Anthony Park. Lawl, this article was written by a suburbanite/out-of-towner/Wisconsinite because the way I read it, it reminds me of what I use to think was called Northeast back in my B-town days. .:DavuMaya:. 05:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I like your recent changes, but I question one aspect. I think the area south of East Hennepin is more often referred to as Southeast.  Isn't that what the road signs say?--Appraiser (talk) 19:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More to Nordeast 

message: The result was merge into Northeast, Minneapolis. It's all done ja! .:DavuMaya:. 16:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: OK, we need to do more economy than the commerical district (though noting the other commercial districts in NE would help). I'm a relative newbie in the area, so what I know about is:
* Riverfront industry: Grain Belt Brewery, lumber, etc.
* The rail yards
* the industrial park (Nabisco, Cream of Wheat, Daytons Warehouse historically. Now all kinds of stuff)
* blue collar part of town: mostly industry, less office and financial
* distinct NE businesses like Northeast Bank, Rainville Funeral Home, I don't know...
That's a start, anway--Natcase 13:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Since I am not aware of pre-19th century buildings in Minneapolis, I assume the reference to 18th century, or 17xx, buildings in Northeast Minneapolis was a typographical error. I have corrected accordingly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.9.48 (talk) 06:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
