There is no search engine so I will forgive the fact that this topic has been to death. Hint hint Ben big grin

Anyway it was supposed to be a restaurant and Prince changed his mind so the building sits unfinished and empty.

For whatever reason a lot of people don't believe this explanation, but I got this story from about 5 different staff members at various PP parties and it is the truth.

I really thought it was some type of religious structure. A church or temple

I would think that was a bad location for a restuarant if it would have been open to the public

Of what I heard, and this is a while ago (early 2001), that the rounded tower/silo was supposed to be a food bank, then I heard a digital recording studio and a concert hall for his npgmc family.

Since then, nothing. ...

B-Side, any news? FAQ?

i think this building was refered to in the song Mellow as The Egg.
Someone told me once that he intended it to be somewhere that homeless people could come and eat.Dont know how accurate that is though.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

How exactly would the homeless people of the Minneapolis area get there? It's like 30 miles away. Would there be a NPGMC shuttle?

It's a smokestack for the ovens. Seems Prince has his own "Final Solution". Hear all about it on the full length LP The Rainbow Children...
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

They must've taken it off the site; a site search turns up nothing Prince. I've never heard of this interview. Do you remember what was said about The Egg?
