In a Oct. 16, 2013 photo, Tracy Sides, who won the "Forever St. Paul Challenge," a contest for the best idea to improve life in St. Paul, Minn. stands near an abandoned warehouse just east of downtown St. Paul, that was part of her winning proposal. Urban Oasis, a nonprofit that won $1 million to promote the growing and cooking of local food in St. Paul, is disbanding after three years.

Urban Oasis founder Tracy Sides said the Urban Oasis business model was unsustainable and that it has spent all of the contest money. (Scott Takushi/St. Paul Pioneer Press via AP)
