thomaslowrysghost: brandonletsgo: wr3n: Riverside Plaza Modernist apartments designed by architect Ralph Rapson. Completed in 1973, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.  More info on wikipedia - there’s more to this place than some negative epithets. Also, check out this fascinating Q&A with Rapson in Mpls St. Paul Magazine from 2007. He was still working as an architect at age 93 when he died in 2008. Ghetto Towers. These aren’t “Ghetto Towers”. This was housing that was built for U of M students. Just happens that they got turned into public housing. This a slick, racist comment that deserves to be called out on. Are you fucking hipsters in the ghetto every time you go to a show across the street at the Triple Rock? Oh, but because a bunch of non-white people live there it’s ghetto, right? Think before you type, people. And fuck off with your racist shit. Preach it Andy.

Ghetto Towers.

These aren’t “Ghetto Towers”. This was housing that was built for U of M students. Just happens that they got turned into public housing. This a slick, racist comment that deserves to be called out on. Are you fucking hipsters in the ghetto every time you go to a show across the street at the Triple Rock?

Preach it Andy.
