East Phillips Neighborhood News and Events

The Phillips neighborhood includes East, West, and Midtown Phillips. Phillips is a diverse area in many ways: its population includes people of many nationalities; it has a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses; and it is home to several large employers such as Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Wells Fargo Mortgage, Allina Health Care Services, the Green Institute/Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center, along with small neighborhood businesses. The Midtown Exchange project—which redeveloped the vacant Sears building at Chicago Avenue and Lake Street into a mixed-used development of offices, hotel, retail, a global market, and housing—is one of the neighborhood's great assets. Phillips is well-connected to other parts of the city via the LRT Lake Street/Midtown station, high-frequency bus service, and The Midtown Greenway—a 5.5-mile long former railroad corridor with bicycling and walking trails, the stunning Martin Olav Sabo Bridge, and the Freewheel Midtown Bike Center. Housing in Phillips is as diverse as its residents—there are pre-war single-family homes in a variety of styles, new apartments and condominiums along the Greenway, and low-rise, multi-family apartment buildings. For a whimsical tour of the neighborhood's main street, visit "Right on Lake Street," an interactive exhibit created by the Minnesota Historical Society. (Description from livemsp.org.)

Tensions escalated. In September, hundreds of union supporters stormed the housing camp for non-union workers and burned it to the ground.MORE »

FRIDAY PICK | "Rain Follows the Plow" open for workshop

Savage Umbrella may be onto something with their workshops; The Ravagers underwent the scrutiny of the public and turned out to be a 2011 hit. Written by Rachel Nelson and directed by Laura Leffler-McCabe, Rain Follows the Plow is hoping for similar feedback to become just as successful. The play tells two parallel stories that happen in the past and present and explores, as Nelson puts it, "what it means when manifest destiny worms its way between the sheets." Rain Follows the Plow will be in full production come the 2012-13 season, but catch the play in its infancy this weekend at the Playwrights' Center.MORE »

Students use team approach to health care in Phillips clinic

Being screened for a knee injury at the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic doesn’t mean a patient is simply treated by an orthopedic doctor. Instead, a team of student volunteers made up of physical therapists, nutritionists and pharmacists meets to discuss the problem.MORE »

OPINIONS | That Sabo Bridge thing?

Nobody knows when it will be fixed. Or exactly what went wrong. But here's what some interested people, some smart people, some angry people, and some official people have to say (and you can sort out which ones are which.)
