I saw that our old friend Ken Avidor got there first.
With 5 entities here in Minnesota, there is actually some activity.
  • Coon Rapids for Rob Jacobs,
  • Winona and Duluth for Taxi 2000,
  • Bill James talked about an effort in New Jersey and a computer campus N. of Duluth,
  • I think that Joe Lampe has an edge city to the N. of downtown Minneapolis,
  • Ed Anderson is quiet, but says that he has some irons in the fire.
