Could be an indoor garden or a greenhouse. I recall him saying that he's thinking about hiring someone at Paisley to take care of his garden. He wanted to build a greenhouse and grow his own vegetables.

I believe it's suppose to be some place where Prince gives away food for charity . Everybody kept talking about him building a Jehovah Whitness building in the back and everyone was so mean-spirited about the Jehovahs and their religion. And I'm sure they are just nice people. I really don't know their teaching but I'm sure it's not at all vicious like some of you have suggested.


That doesn't make sense. Why would he construct a building to distribute food to the poor in Chanhassen? Chanhassen is a wealthy suburb. The poor people are in Minneapolis.

What was he planning to do -- bus the poor folks who need food out to Paisley so they can pick up the food?

Do you honestly think that the officials in Chanhassen are going to give Prince a permit that will result in bringing low income and poor people out to Chanhassen?

That makes about as much sense as the plan he and Mayte had to turn a $3 million mansion into an orphanage. The people in the neighboring mansions wouldn't allow it. You can bet that Prince's neighbors in wealthy Chanhassen are not going to allow him to open up any kind of facility for poor people in their neighborhood.

Given Prince's rep as a business man this sounds like the type businessplan he'd conceive.

The large "theatre" or soundstage, or whatever it is he's building at Paisley Park. We were teased with photos of it for a while on the website, but that was like a year ago and I haven't heard anything since.

What the hell is it? A witness hall? A performance venue?

Just wondering.

I have to agree with Joey Coco on this one...Brother Jules told me that it was going to be a resturant as well. I think the idea was scrapped...did anyone notice that all the metal was rusting? They obviously gave up on construction a while ago.


Rust? Oh HELL no! Prince, what happened 2 high fashion, man? We can't b havin' rust at Paisley Palace. cool


Maybe Prince doesn't care anymore about maintaining Paisley. He just bought a new mansion. Perhaps Toronto is where his priorities are now.

Are you talking about the egg shaped building? If so, I think he likes to play house and smother his women there.
Wasn't that project started several years ago?

Without serving meat, cheese, milk, ice cream, eggs and just about any other thing remotely resembling "food", I wonder how he plans to fill it. How many entrees can you develop with nuts, berries, tofu and tree bark as their specials?



Plenty. A vegan / vegetarian diet can be just as varied as any other diet.

It is very easy eating a variety of food when you are vegetarian/vegan. When I was eating meat I didn't have nearly as varied a menu as now.

And I don't get fat! nana

The idea of a pressing plant would be a VERY shrewd move on his part.
But then again, his buisness sense is 4 shit, so as good as that sounds (and hey - KUDOS 2 the guy
if he does indeed do that) I doubt it.
A restaurant? That just sounds plain wierd - attached 2 a 'major' recording studio complex? hmm
Im thinking it's prolly more than likely some kind of annex 4 worship...

Seriously you need to trust me as I know what I am talking about here.

This has been confirmed by two or three staff members. It was to be a restaurant but Prince (wisely) changed his mind and the building is empty.

I know - the clue is in the shape of the building! It's egg-shaped right? maybe he's funding his next record off the back of an indoor, free-range chicken shack! nod

Egads, man.

Do I win some kind of award for "Oldest Thread"?

I asked this question rather casually about a year ago and the sucker's bumped back up to page 1. Shit, that's not even my screen name anymore...

...and none of us still have a fucking clue what the hell that building is.
