Edina may have misunderstood when we said to get ready for a big new “line” in your city
Edina’s “Giant Pile of Cocaine” public art project, very appropriate
The new E Line gets you a direct bus ride from the U of M through downtown, Uptown, and this pile of snow in Edina.

Scientists say living in proximity to humans is making raccoons more docile, but turkeys will continue to loiter outside your front door with a menacing look that says "you have to come out at some point."

the best option would have been if netflix could have taken everything except for hbo proper’s shows, and let hbo go to apple, then we could have all the Good™ stuff in one place and all the mid stuff in one place and i could continue not paying for netflix and not intermittently get apple
i don’t understand why people are upset the Netflix acquisition of WB will mean the end of HBO Max. how many of you are happy you have to pay double for two apps to watch things you like.
there’s things to dislike about this, but that ain’t it.

i think we need to couple automation of jobs with lowering of the hours of the overtime threshold, greatly increasing minimum wage, and greatly increasing taxes on top income and profit brackets for individuals and companies

Erik’s in Dinkytown has indeed closed. Wild as they usually had multiple day waits when I had used them. Thankfully we now how Freewheel nearby, but definitely a blow to not have this shop that was so centrally located for students.

Hoping this is just a random website error, but Erik’s doesn’t list their Dinkytown location on their site..?
Saw the cheap studded tire deal and went to check if they were available there and the location also wasn’t in the drop down

Taylor is the number reporter on the Minneapolis city hall beat and has been for years. She's a one-woman archive for decades worth of politicians, staff, lobbyists, donors, and assorted riff-raff who shape our city. And she's done it for free, even when she was going through chemo. Pay the duck!

Utter BS from the SPPD Federation.
In case you’re wondering how St Paul Police could ever treat their own residents like they did yesterday look at this unhinged statement from who the officers elect as their leaders.

Wilson does not own a car and primarily rides public transit to get around Seattle with her daughter. Wilson has also previously used a bicycle for transportation, although she relies more on transit since having a child.
