My friends that visit from other cities already say Minnesotans are tall. I don't think we need an event for it

Differences in housing policy post-Surge couldn't be more stark. Both councils passed a temporary 60-day notice requirement for nonpayment evictions. Minneapolis: the mayor vetoed and council centrists refused to override. On pace for record evictions. St. Paul passed it veto-proof. Down 15% YOY

I had no idea St. Paul had two impound lots and one specifically for snow emergencies. I was only aware of the police lot near the airport which is 3/4 of a mile from a bus stop.

New study suggests that a shortage of secure bike parking is limiting e-bike adoption. Glad to see this issue getting attention. It's intuitive that people with quasi-secure bike storage might be OK risking a pedal bike, but not an e-bike that's more expensive. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

If three NYers were shot up by strangers that got away it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. If three subway riders died after being pushed on 🚇tracks by strangers it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. Three NYers were killed by hit-run drivers and nary a peep?

During my 2 hour ride on Saturday I saw one full size motorcycle (parked on and blocking a separated bike path), a gas powered mini-motorcycle, a gas powered bike, and a few e-motos. Cars are worse but sharing a ped/bike path with these motorcycles is scary due to the speed difference

A fun game of "Spot the Bikeway Obstruction." I told the driver it was dangerous. He told me to fuck off.
A protected bikeway in downtown Minneapolis passes a parked Sysco semi-truck. A low metal ramp with two black-and-yellow warning stripes stretches completely across the bikeway from the truck to the sidewalk, blocking the entire riding surface and creating a difficult-to-see obstacle. The ramp is immediately beyond a driveway where drivers cross the bikeway, forcing people biking to watch for turning vehicles while also trying to avoid the unexpected hazard.

The virus has been around for years. Around the time of the pandemic many of the downtown St. Paul rabbits had it but I haven't seen it locally in a few years. The last one I saw with a growth was this spring in Rochester.

This is a devastating, senseless loss. Saint Paul is on pace for more pedestrian deaths this year than last. There’s so much our city must continue to do to prevent this—better street design, more enforcement, more investments in bike lanes and public transit. www.twincities.com/2026/06/24/s...

I've never had my bike stolen and I have one of the angle grinder resistant locks but I still worry and look for where I'm going to park before I decide to bike to a destination and will take transit if I can't find a safe spot. We need better designated parking like the Netherlands.

Once I was on a non-full flight and a mother and 2 kids were in the rows in front of me. She was struggling keeping them quiet and seated. On landing one of the kids was standing on a seat and fell. Once we got to the gate their father came up from the back of the plane asking if everything was ok 🤦‍♂️

This is my favorite tree, though there are so many great ones in the city. Partially because it has lights on it and during the winter it's uplifting to see it from my building downtown.

I've been watching them for a while. Some of the fines they face are large with the most recent being border inspection fees for their imported cabinets. They did nothing wrong but paid thousands in storage fees while the container was being inspected.

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...
Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train.

"If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

That's crazy! The city needs to focus on raising the downtown property values/tax land value. I'm downtown and this year mine rose for the first time since 2020 and is still below what I paid for in 2020. Including assessments it's about the same as 2020.
