So true! I live a block from the restaurant & am familiar with the area

Fair enough! I like to look at a business not overtly joining the culture war as a win

I suppose parking was used but not to ~blame~

Really sad to lose a place where you can get a nice slice of cake. The fact that they wrote a note like this without using the terms construction, parking, or bike lane endears them to me more

Victorian Psycho is very quick & about to be a movie. Did not ~love~ it but good for Halloween season & always fun to read something quick before the movie comes out!

Got a delicious saffron latte from Haraz Coffee on Lake & Lyndale this morning! In a world of disappearing third spaces it’s so cool to see a coffee shop that is open until 10 PM - later on the weekend. I hope they get lots of support!!

At the same time local ‘crisis giving’ & go fund me giving is new / different these days & that is developing its own culture among younger folks especially. Something I’m curious about watching

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

There’s an interesting line of thought among some fundraising pros that the decline in religiosity is bad for giving overall. While I think religion is largely morally neutral (sometimes good! sometimes bad!) I do think it often gets people in the habit of giving early & often

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

My income is about 2/3 of yours & my donation budget is $375/month I work in philanthropy & while I feel like my giving budget is embarrassingly low (I don’t have kids) my impression is that it is high for my age/income (though I could be wrong about that)

If you’d have questions, would like to talk more, or want to get involved, I’d love to get coffee with you. Feel free to DM me!

I’ve seen folks posting thoughtfully about people experiencing homelessness & wanted to share a bit about CC’s approach to this work. I’m really proud to work here in partnership with staff who serve our neighbors every day cctwincities.org/unsheltered-...

Unsheltered Homelessness in St. Paul - CC Twin Cities

After the closure of a large encampment, many people are still sleeping outside. This pattern is not unique to St. Paul, what happens next?

CVS canceled my whole appointment day-of citing an insurance issue. I re-booked with Walgreens & they told me in person. I wish you luck!

A first for me: someone just hit the bus with their car (low speed, no one hurt, minimal damage)

Seeing a lot of "here's how I'd optimize the State Fair experience" on the tl. At some point, you have to accept that the State Fair is not built for convenience. Like Disneyland or a professional sports game. If you want to revel in how the Fair is a big, monocultural thing, this is the tradeoff.

I just don’t feel entitled to the fair because I live closer or can pay more or am a better advance planner or anything about me that might make me special

000

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I think if it comes to it they may have to limit the number of tickets available each day (275,000?) but I hope they can find something equitable that keeps prices low & allows for some presales plus walk-ups or lottery

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I feel so lucky to live in the city & get to be invited into this unique fair where we blend rural & urban in such cool ways.

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The popular stuff is very popular! There was one thing (seed art) that I skipped because the line was long & there are other things I valued more with my time that day I will visit the seed art Mia exhibit when it opens I also stood in line for the Hmong corn dog twice b/c I valued it

I wonder if we’d see induced demand with more space or more days? Maybe, maybe not. I was there yesterday as well (8:15 AM - ~10:15 PM). What I personally saw was areas where it was crowded, & areas where it wasn’t. Some long lines, many short or non-existant ones.

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

A good suggestion! Personally when I feel overloaded I like to go on Ye Old Mill for a sensory reset - cold, dark, alone 😇

110

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

That makes sense! I think a morning designed to be helpful for folks with sensory sensitivities is a great idea

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I get it! You’re certainly allowed your dreams! To me, limiting who can access a cool thing to make it more enjoyable for me just doesn’t align with my personal values - even in a thought experiment.

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Probably a weird take but as a current city-dweller who grew up in a big FFA / 4-H town I honestly see myself as a guest at the fair

040

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The alternative to this would be for people who don’t like the big crowd to go to the Hennepin & Ramsey County fairs IMO

010

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

What would you do about all the vendors and the people who bring their animals? Could their family & friends not watch them compete? We’re super lucky to have our state fair in the city, and my understanding of fairs is they’re rooted in farm culture which is largely rural

320

emly in minneaparis @eeewade.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I think this is a real ‘you aren’t in traffic, you are traffic’ situation. The fair is for everyone. I wish they could sustainably make it free. It is a real gift that we have our state fair in the city & accessible without a car. & it’s just as much (more…) for rural 4H kids & everyone else.

I get a little sentimental seeing so many people I don't know who gave years of their lives organizing to make my neighborhood better, safer, and more livable. Your work is a gift to people you don't know, who will inevitably take this infrastructure for granted.

61a is also importantly the wedge - high turnout & sometimes a different alignment than other high turnout parts of that district

Heavily leaning toward abstaining on this race. If someone has a good reason why this will ruin things please feel free to reply or dm me

I haven’t been paying as much attention so forgive me: is there a protest vote campaign for Governor? Abstentions? Something else?

new franklin ave isn’t finished and bike path is already game changer. living in loring park it often feels disconnected from new paths on hennepin & bryant and ones downtown so these connections are huge. and esp one going east of 35, area of minneapolis that needs more safe biking infrastructure

My biggest gripe about Hennepin is that some businesses lost their patio space (or are now understandably taking the whole ped right of way for patio). I’m really thrilled that was heard & reflected in the Lyndale design.
