On Assignment: Urban Loft Living: Light Rail; Republican Convention coverage; etc.

The Observer has been on location in the Twin Cities preparing for the coverage of the Republican Convention. While preparing to see how well my zoom lens will work from the approved areas of coverage of the outside demonstrations, and estimating my costs for the coverage, I have prepared some video covering the topic of urban loft living, what it looks like in the urban setting, complete with light rail hookup, central heating and skyway linking of residents to prevent going outside in the frozen Minnesota winter------the video shows some interersting comparisons with the new Eager building restoration in downtown Evansville.

Also, I have some coverage of the Carlson School of Business at the University of Minnesota----it has opened a new state of the art building on the West Bank and though it is currently ranked in the top 10 in the USA, it is poised and determined to move to the top.

Stay tuned.
