Very sad to lose Hourcar and Evie. This service made it possible for many households (including mine) to reduce to one car or go car free, saving us the headaches and thousands of dollars that go along with car ownership. hourcar.org/news/sunset

HOURCAR Announces Sunset — HOURCAR & Evie

IceCube is built on decades of research into tiny ‘ghost particles’ – but it was the first to find neutrinos coming from deep space
IceCube looks for high energy neutrinos from space. It joins the ranks of complementary experiments that study neutrinos originating closer to home.

As the founding executive director of HOURCAR, let me say that it is imperative someone steps forward to rescue car sharing AND bike sharing in the Twin Cities. HOURCAR, Evie and Nice Ride--all community-led nonprofits--were beautiful systems that allowed so many of us to live nearly car free.

so. it's really easy for me to make a "MN fights back" post. and. if you're Somali, what he said is lies, it's dogwhistles meant for his supporters, and those whistles are loud. and ours are louder. if you need or want direct support, whatever that is for you, i got your back. (lots of us do).

Less than the likely cost of two lawsuit settlements against a current StP city council member.... Seriously, this is a pathetically small amount in the scheme of budgets and sadly reminiscent of Nice Ride getting shut down because the core cities don't back up policy with budget support.

This is devastating for car-free living in mpls. I’ve used Hourcar/Evie car share to fill the gaps at least once a year where biking/using public transit didn’t make sense. Carshare just makes sense. Allowing the service to sunset doesn’t make sense for meeting our climate and equity goals.

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Beautiful! I brought this used little buddy home late last week after trading in my 2010 Prius with almost 200,000 miles on it. Having a second spinal surgery in 16 months has put a dent in my biking, but I’ll be back out there come hell or high water. Until then, gratitude. Happy charging!!
