We kicked off Minneapolis Amplified at Uncle Franky’s, and the place was packed. The idea is simple: bring live music into neighborhood businesses, get more people through the door, and give people another reason to explore Minneapolis. And we’re just getting started.

I’m proud to nominate Bill Peterson as the next Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department. Bill has served this city for 30 years, led through some of our toughest moments, and earned trust across MPD and our community. He knows this city. He’s ready to lead.

La Perla is a Minneapolis staple, and we’re so proud to have them here. Brothers Jose and Miguel grew up in our city and have been part of their family business their whole lives. Next time you’re grabbing chips or tortillas, make sure they’re La Perla!

Operation Metro Surge made this a tough year for our Latino-owned businesses, and many are still working to recover. This 3rd Annual Latino Business Week, let's help them bounce back. Grab a meal, pick up a gift, try somewhere new, and show them Minneapolis has their backs.

I fell in love with Minneapolis during the Twin Cities Marathon, and it was a full-circle moment to send the runners off this morning. Not a more beautiful place in America for a run than Minneapolis.

Requiring a driver in a driverless car doesn’t make sense. Minneapolis is open for business, open to innovative technology, and open to a variety of transportation options. Thoughtful regulation for safety is necessary, but not through a backdoor ban. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Nothing brings Minneapolis together quite like a little friendly competition over ribs. Battle of the Badges & the People’s BBQ brought the heat to North Commons, with MFD taking home the rib cook-off crown. Bragging rights are yours, firefighters. At least until next year!
