Uptown Fights for its Future
Business owners and concerned residents packed the common area of the largely vacant Seven Points shopping center at Lake and Hennepin on Monday night for a meeting organized by the Uptown Association. The group announced an Uptown Farmers Market that will run every Thursday, June 12 to September 25, on the Girard Avenue Plaza outside Seven Points. They also declared a grassroots effort to recruit 30 to 40 businesses within a two-block radius in the heart of Uptown.
