Demolishing Moon Plaza - Fridley, MN

"Sometimes the story is the fact there is no story." You're right! So here is the story of Moon Plaza.  An aged shopping center, that had virtually nothing of interest to the general public. For decades! According to the City of Fridley's website, Moon Plaza was built between 1963 and 1965. With only the most minimal of updating, over the half-century plus that passed since then.  Other than a one time visit in late 1988, to a baseball card store that briefly opened up on the north end of the Moon, I never patronized Moon Plaza. It was nothing more than that run-down shopping center, at University and 62nd. The one that looked more and more sad each time I drove by it. Usually ignoring it completely, because it was set back so far away from the main road, that you could barely read the signs for whatever stores happened to be open that month. M-O-O-N... That spells great bargains from local merchants at Moon Plaza! November 3, 2017 Moon Plaza from southbound Universit
