Love how networks spend the GDP of small nations on streaming rights and that somehow concludes with CBS airing paid promotion at noon instead of an early NFL game.

Forgot to mention at the time of this announcement, but this reminded me that two years ago every local news site picked up the story that Beast BBQ and Eli's east were for sale, and all the employees at Eli's were like "Everyone keeps thinking we are closing soon because of a real estate listing"

Some recent photos of the under-construction Franklin Avenue that show how Minneapolis and partners (Hennepin County in this case!) work to preserve mature trees in design and construction, without compromising the transportation function of future road.

Big shoutout to Saturday Dumpling Co being added to the fair, and Summer Lakes Beverage getting a food and drink spot. I know I'll be cooling my jets with a Bootlegger Cocktail and loving life.

Absolutely sucks. A staple in the neighborhood, and one of the few spaces in northeast that you can have large meetups without dominating the space. Praying we can get something to replace it but fear there's already some major empty spaces in the area to compete with.

More details for those interested. 1pm meet, 1:30 ride, It says Washington Fair Oaks park but I suspect they mean Washburn Fair Oaks in Minneapolis. If you are a cyclist in another community, do it in solidarity.
The background of the image is a vertical version of hte MN falg. At the top in white text reads "WE RIDE IN UNITY" then superimposed over the flag is the text "FOR ALL FOR ALEX" repeated vertically. Alex Pretti's head is in the center wearing a bicycle helmet. There are two circles that read "SAT 1.31 2026" and "1:00 meet 1:30 ROLL" At the bottom it read "RIDE TOGETHER STAND TOGETHER"

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

Multiple people have been taken this morning already in Northeast and we don’t have the same capacity on the streets that we’ve had throughout the week. Please come out and help us today and bring a friend we need more people outside so we can protect our neighbors.

There is something so deeply, deeply Minnesotan about these sorts of posts (which I see every winter). If you're from almost anywhere else and wondering if you're missing something: this person did in fact leave their car running, unlocked, keys in the ignition.
Facebook post from the Highland Neighborhood Group, St. Paul. Name redacted.

"Hello Everyone, just giving a word of caution to make sure your vehicles are locked when you’re warming them up this winter. My 2003 Ford Ranger, Rhonda, was stolen this morning at 8:15 from my home on Saint Paul Ave. I’m attaching the video to show you just how easy it was and a picture of my girl. My fault for leaving her unlocked and running but I thought she was fine for the 20 mins it took for me to shower!  I’m chalking her up as gone but if anyone sees my baby you can PM me."

Very happy to see this revisited, can't wait to see progress on expanding the Greenway. Building this expansion would greatly improved both the commuting and recreational capabilities of this area.
