It was an action packed week in Wayzata with the revelation that the Muni appears to be headed for demolition along with the rest of the Bay Center in one shot, as opposed to the phased demolition that was originally planned. Plenty of other action as well, so here we go—the Top 5 Stories of the week for January 19-25, 2009.
- The city became aware of a plan by Wayzata Bay Redevelopment Company to demolish the shopping center all in one shot.
