Wonder how far north they are going to bring front street since they have the parking lot for blazing star trail. Unless they extend the driveway to it or have side streets if it's going to have lots of propertys through their.

More than ten years ago the Albert Lea City Council voted to deny Walgreens from opening a store at the corner near Main Street. The comment by Fjelstad was "let's see if something better comes along."

Walgreens may be doing well where they are now, but had they gone to the former farmland site, on the corner, it would have opened up for other development. A couple of years ago it was talked about being redeveloped for recreation like soccer fields. The question if they open lakefront, is who sells it, how much and who gets the money?

Especially his promise to return all of his pay as a councilor if he didn't get rid of Paul Sparks within a year, or whatever similar ludicrous promise he made. As I recall, he didn't live up to the promise and said he was keeping the money.

Didn't the council also ultimately decide they didn't want to break it up into smaller parcels? That pretty much limited their selling options. I recall Sparks was holding out for another meatpacking company.
