A warning to parents. When you say “no” to an idea, think through why very carefully. For the last two years I’ve been telling my oldest that she isn’t allowed to rob the Louvre because her plan wouldn’t stand up to security. Turns out, this is a place that doesn’t put alarms on upstairs windows.

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.

For Hooters’ Original Founders, Saving The Chain Is A Higher Calling: “America Needs Us.”

A group of Florida friends thought it would be fun to open a restaurant in the 1980s that “they couldn’t get kicked out of.” Now in their 70s, they’re buying back franchises with a plan to restore the...

Wes Burdine: Why this St. Paul business owner is voting ‘yes’ to amend the city charter

On my three-block walk to work, on one of the busiest streets in the city, I pass by three empty lots and I stare at a wall of empty storefronts. Just a few more blocks away is the derelict CVS tha…

In Minneapolis, a network of big $ political committees—All of Mpls, We Love Mpls, and Thrive Mpls—share donors, staff, and messaging.

In July, We Love Mpls was cited by the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) for violating disclosure rules.

Here's why all of them could be in violation of MN laws. 👇

New place is cozy as fuck. (the fireplace is non-functional but you bet your ass I'm getting an electric insert for it)

The view from my chair in the new house - a fireplace on the left, my Majacraft Suzie spinning wheel, a side table with a stained glass lamp on it.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Looks like this picture is making the rounds again. (It was me. I visited his grave in Roseville and posted it on Reddit for his birthday nine years ago.)

A social media post by @fuckitimarobot with the caption "Some absolute legend left a donut with the receipt and 2000 grains of rice on Mitch Hedberg's grave" with a picture of a gravestone that says "HEDBERG son Mitchell mother Mary A" with a pile of rice and a donut with a receipt on it.
