It struck me as sort of a massive waste of money (how many billions did it ultimately cost?), for a mostly useless and not even really that attractive strip of greenspace. I mean, I guess it looks better than the freeway, but I just remember seeing it in person and thinking, 'Wait, y'all spent a few years worth of your whole city budget for THIS?

Having lived there before and after the Big Dig, it transformed the city in a significant way — not just aesthetically. You can always argue the value of any massive public project but status quo wasn’t going to be free.

Played with Jeff Beck. If you ever get the chance to watch one of his live show videos from when she was in the band, do it and you will be glad you did. They played well together.

Moved up here last year for a job. It's a nice place to live to start a career and family. Your daughter will have 10x's better opportunities than LA. The comments in this thread are par for the course for a bunch of people who rarely get out of LA and get their opinions from news headlines. Edina is a great place and one of the richer parts of the city. Anyone living in BR or Nola and talking about how dangerous it is here are morons

Thanks! I appreciate the insight from you and many others — I fully understood that I would have to wade through a lot of crap to get to the good stuff.

No, it’s healthcare related.

Anyone have any insight to share about living there? Her job would be in Edina.

Appreciate any info you may have.

re: Beatles obsession thread

When my youngest daughter started school at LSU, we loaded my pickup and her car and drove 13.5 hours to Baton Rouge — me in the truck and my wife and daughter in the car. (As an aside, we also made several trips to Target once we moved her in to her dorm. In contrast, when I went LSU, I moved myself to and around Baton Rouge for five years in just my car.)

During the drive, I listened to every Beatles’ album and single in chronological order, excluding the compilation albums except for Love, and including the reissue versions that include demos and alternate tracks. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and not once did I think I was getting tired of listening to the same artist. It is a testament to how much good music they produced in such a short period of time and how much they evolved over that period.
