Lots of data has been presented at many area and neighborhood meetings including photos of crashes, videos, etc. Miracle no one has been killed. Absolutely should be removed.

I've heard some shows they offer free upgrades when you get there for people with lawn into unsold seats, curious if those are better or worse than the 75 cent tickets, or likely the same ones? Worth it to get the upgrade for $3, i might still see what they offer for upgrades & use the better ones

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

My small rural hometown also put a side walk in about 4 years ago and it absolutely revolutionized the civics of the entire place. Literally all anyone talks about it how much most accessible and enjoyable it made things for everyone. This type of shit rules.

or the person on the tracks could be Idris Elba??

they said it’s because “an unauthorized person is on the tracks” which could be true OR could be what they say so we don’t freak out because we are being HIJACKED by Idris Elba

okay so i let the bike lobby in my head win and am actually going to buy one of these… it’ll be $150 for the one, anyone interested in the other? she’s willing to do $250 total for both, so $125 each, and i can pick up and drop off 👀

Upon instant replay, the ones going the other way were state troopers, so different. Sounds like we have a helicopter now?

Few minutes later several police vehicles sped the other way down 2nd. Unclear if it was the same vehicles as before, but no car this time, looked a little like looney tunes when they run back and forth and the chasers get confused and run the wrong way not realizing the chasee is gone

Near North News: ~7 police vehicles (hennepin, MPD, and unmarked) just sped down N 2nd St just outside of North Loop chasing a fast moving car, few others followed a bit later

Several people are asking whether this is even legal. Due to an unfortunate loophole in MN election law, this is legal until June 26 (when absentee voting starts). It’s still a disgusting tactic, though.

Fare checked the last time I road the E last weekend, Saturday about 11pm going through marcy-holmes. Definitely seems like they’ve stepped up enforcement a lot recently. They had to remind a lot of students they’re still expected to tap their college ID/bus pass at the platform

There’s a surprising number of alleys on streetview, and it comes in really handy every once in a while when i’m working (in the office at a masonry company) because can get views of chimneys and things from the alley that aren’t visible or trees block from the front

Every time people cite construction as a reason for small businesses closing in Uptown, I think about how the Minneapolis City Council funded a $900,000 construction hardship program that Mayor Frey did not implement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This would have been support for small businesses in Uptown.

Especially as someone who’s happily single and not trying overly hard to change that, having built in community with your closest friends has a ton of positive benefits. Lots of good research and reading on this recently, Other Significant Others comes to mind. More housing, all shapes & all sizes!

Building more studios/1-bedroom still brings down costs for larger, “family-sized” housing That said, I also want to advocate for multi bedroom units not just for families, but for us weirdos who just like living with friends even in our 30s in this era of otherwise growing isolation
