Do any sports franchises have stadiums that are publicly supported and also have revenue sharing with the public? Curious if a trade could be made of local/state support in exchange for revenue sharing over the lifetime of the venue.

Can you imagine business associations actually promoting and supporting businesses and the communities and neighborhoods they are located in, instead of fear mongering and going to the newspapers to talk about how terrible things will be and essentially pre-setting an excuse if they close?

Lynhall had an awesome menu and my wife and I loved going there. Then it became an event space that seemingly never hosts events. Maybe bring back the restaurant so the neighborhood can eat there? I would also love if if they planted trees where the parking lot is and made a little patio.

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

I don't care about the celebrity connection but this story highlights how our culture mimimizes impaired driving. This guy already had a DWI conviction before killing a kid with a 0.11 BAC...and just gets a misdemeanor charge. He should lose driving privileges for life!! www.wptf.com/2026/04/20/d...

It was funny to hear the after interview commentary. I can definitively say: No, a potential GOP reaction did not for one second figure in our decision to make this trip via e-bike. The ride was about living our values. Plus, biking is just fun! youtu.be/_Z3Hv9H-tII

Minnesota lawmaker Katie Jones rode in a cargo e-bike to the hospital for her baby's birth. Her husband, Peter Schmitt, pedaled the two miles there. On the return journey, their son Hans – all 8 pounds and 1 ounce of him – was bundled up and handled it just fine, Jones said.

Cannot recommend the Cargo Bike Library enough!!! It was so great to be able to try out a bike for several days to see if it works for us. Even though the Bunch wasn’t quite the right fit for us, it did allow me to get my mother in a bike for the first time in 60 years, which was awesome.

It has been a busy week in our household! Katie was biking herself up until the day before her appointment. I was happy to be able to pilot her and our little Hansi both ways. We have also taken him on the bus for a few follow up appointments. I love living in a city and having options!

I am sadly out of town for work for this meeting, but please write to your park board commissioners to bring back the Mall Park. Attend if you can! Don’t let a group of busy bodies misrepresent the ages of process we went through to get that park planned. It is a free park! We should want that!

I am glad for this article, and I am also embarrassed that our paper of record has to do an article on what to do when your government is sending paramilitary forces to harass, endanger, and provoke you, your neighbors, and your city (because of a petty, corrupt old man with a Putin fetish).

Accidentally ended up between two parts of Christian Braun’s family (all 6’-6’6”ish). His aunt assumed I was somehow part of the family and went in for a hug. Was a funny misunderstanding that they told to Christian when he showed up to join them. I did say that I am open for hugs, though.
