For Sale: one ore dock, slightly used
My Beautiful City On The Bay contemplates what to do with the monolithic, 800-foot-long solid concrete ore dock that has sat unused in the Lower Harbor since the Soo Line railroad stopped loading ore into lake freighters twenty-five years ago. Developers propose "dividing the dock into three floors, with the top two floors renovated into about 50 apartments and the bottom floor retained for parking." I'm not sure exactly how they propose to turn the ore bins into apartments, but it certainly would be interesting to see their architectural drawings. The loading chutes might be a convenient way to get rid of unwelcome guests.
Note to Fiend: it's sort of an island....

I think it would be cost-prohibitive to ship in soil, vegetation and wildlife. Plus, it's way too close to the shoreline.
