After 15 years, the Lowry is closing its doors in Uptown, and April 26 is the last day of service for the Blue Plate Restaurant Co. diner, it announced on social media.

The post cited “multiple compounding issues over several years” that made business “unsustainable,” including “changing consumer behavior,” “city specific mandates and economics,” and “prolonged and disruptive Hennepin Avenue construction.”

Nearly 50 Lowry employees have been offered jobs at other Blue Plate locations, the post said.

A nearly century-old landmark in downtown Minneapolis is facing foreclosure after its owner defaulted on its mortgage.

The owner of the 32-story Foshay Tower, home to the the W Minneapolis hotel, failed to pay off its $51 million mortgage by its maturity date in May 2025, according to a lawsuit filed in Hennepin County District Court last week.

Last year, Minnesota paid $4.32 billion in Medicaid reimbursements to the 14 programs now identified as being a high risk for fraud — more than double what it paid in 2021.

As more reimbursements have been finalized, a KARE 11 data practices request reveals the total since 2018 is $20 billion — even more than the astonishing $18 billion former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson revealed in December.
