Originally a Knott’s Camp Snoopy, the Mall of America center court is now home to Nickelodeon Universe.  Welcome to Minnesota Spongebob!  Below is a Caribou Coffee store. In 1991-92 Alaska Log Structures played a major role in log construction for Knott’s Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America.  At the peak of the project, we had 26 men working on various log components.  One of the unique aspects of this commercial project was that 27 semi loads of logs were taken out of burn areas in and around Yellowstone National Park.  Special curved logs that were drawn on the plans by the architects required the use of white cedar from northern Minnesota.  The construction manager was in awe that we were able to match the curves drawn on the plans with the logs we selected. December 18, 1991 Mr. Greg Anderson,   I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and efforts throughout this past year. We have come a long way and it has been through your efforts that we are where we are today.  It is seldom in our careers that we have the opportunity to participate in a unique project such as the Mall of America. Each of us has an individual role in this project, but it is only through our collective efforts that the success of Mall of America can be achieved. Our success depends on one another.  Each of us are familiar with the saying "One Small Step for Man, One Giant Step for Mankind".  We can apply this to ourselves and our participation on this project. I want to convey my heartfelt appreciation for all of your time and effort with log construction this past year.   Sincerely, Joseph R.
