Our new address isn't a lot different from our old one -- 125 N First St. It even has the same zip code: 55401.
We were in that old (1884) building a very long time. At least I was. 1979 to 2017. Bob was there almost as long. Most of the rest of us were there more than a decade.
We moved because the neighborhood was getting a little too plush, and also because it was easier to sell it than to take the phone calls asking about it buying it. It was a great old building, but we've moved on.
We finished moving into the new space a couple of weeks ago. We'll be unpacking boxes for a long time.
The building has 12,000 square feet. About 1200 square meters. JRiver occupies about 15% of that, so there is a lot of space to rent. It's been divided and subdivided and fussed over for the last 5 months. It's starting to be occupied now.
Three of the spaces are small stores. Each of them will have a storefront made of glass with a door in the center. The openings were originally dock doors when the building was built by a produce business in 1927.
The first storefront went in yesterday. The others will be installed next week.
