Calhoun Square is an indoor shopping mall located in the Uptown district of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The retail mall recently went through a Summer 2015 remodel of its entire interior. ==History== The mall was built at the southeast corner of Hennepin Avenue and West Lake Street in the early 1980s. Neighborhood activists opposed to the project started the "Dump Updale" campaign. "Up" referred to Uptown; "dale" was a reference to suburban shopping malls in the Twin Cities whose names end in "dale" (e.g. Southdale Center, Ridgedale Center). The atrium-style indoor mall was built from a group of older buildings in an early 1980s style of redevelopment. The building was finished in 1983, although parts of the building are older, including the Geanakoplos Building (1917). The musician Prince wrote a song titled "Calhoun Square", released on disc two of his "Crystal Ball" CD. Magnetic Poetry and Magnetic Originals both got their start in Calhoun Square. Dave Kapell sold his first Magnetic Poetry kits at the annual coffee festival in the fall. Jeffery Gauss aka "The MagnetDude" began selling his magnetic art here in 1999 at ArtistStreet. H&M opened on Friday, December 14, 2012 in their previously vacant two story retail space. Store Manager for the business hired 7 Days A Cappella, the University of Minnesota's co-ed a cappella group, to sing just outside H&M for the opening. The Republic, pub featuring craft beers, is on the second floor in what was once The Independent. Kitchen Window, Sox Appeal, BayStreet Shoes, GNC, Bremer Bank and VisionWorks all survived the remodel and are still open today 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calhoun Square」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
