Thanks ACLU - Twice

We are excited that the American Civil Liberties Union - Minnesota Foundation has renewed its lease with us.

I did a little research and the ACLU has been around since the early 1920's and the Minnesota branch was founded in 1952 as the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union.  The ACLU protects the civil liberties of all Minnesotans through litigation, public education, and lobbying. 

They do not accept government funding and they are nonpartisan.  

So thanks ACLU for the business and thanks also for being civil rights supporters.

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's)  This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building.  We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Congratulations to Dave Anderson!

One of Update Company's long time tenants is awarded a Bush Fellowship.  Dave Anderson, from All Parks Alliance for Change is one of the 2020 Bush Fellows, 24 visionary leaders who are thinking big about how to solve problems and shape a better future for their communities. The Bush Fellowship is an investment in individual leaders. It provides Fellows with up to $100,000 over 12 to 24 months to pursue formal and informal learning experiences that help them develop the skills, attributes and relationships they need to become more effective, equitable leaders who can drive change in their communities and region as a whole. The Fellowship is distinctive in its flexibility, allowing Fellows to articulate what they need to become more effective and agile leaders. 

Liking these benches

I like the benches that Jack and Jim crafted for our building at 661 LaSalle.   They look great, and should last a long time outside.
