The New York liberals want

the autumnal equinox is just a made-up holiday to sell more henges.

But what retirement strategies are available for the gyro and döner generations?

That speaker setup would drive me crazy.

Damn, Menards.

I used to drive past this joint on US 29 in Wisconsin. Like a lot of things these days, it's gone now.

Make sure to wish a librarian a happy Gerald Ford Trapped in The Penn Library Elevator Day.

I found the worst Animorph

Minneapolis

Echoes of "Rainy Evening on Hennepin Avenue" by Koehler, 1902.

We need an assault weapons ban in Minnesota. 60% of Americans support it, and Minnesotans want to get it done. Call your State Senator. Call your State Representative. It’s up to us to come together and make it clear that this has to be the top priority. We CAN do this.

Minneapolis once had great industrial neon signs. The removal of signs like this has made the downtown area a less colorful and interesting place, akin to the "Millennial Gray" floors that obliterated the character of flipped houses in the 2010s.

I wrote about the new proposed Lyndale Avenue reconstruction design, one of the most confusing things Hennepin County Public Works has done in years. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

The University of Minnesota is trying to sell the Grey Drug Building in Dinkytown where Bob Dylan once briefly lived. Maybe those Zimmerman boys - who have a successful business track record - could buy it and do great things with it. @dinkytown.bsky.social @eastbankmpls.bsky.social

#OnThisDay Sept 17, 1952: LOOK magazine publishes this iconic photograph taken on Nicollet Avenue with the subtitle "Minneapolis and St. Paul turned out in Mardi Gras style yesterday to greet Eisenhower. Police estimate more than 300,000 persons lined the streets of the two cities."

Fixed the headline.

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

Like I just want to be so clear that anybody who would say this …. We share zero values wtaf

Imagine how many more people would bike if it were safe to do so.

RIP the man in the greatest one-shot five-minute phone call to Minnesota in movie history m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeem...

Had to put my bike in a screeching halt last night at the intersection of 4th St SE and 35W last night as a line of vehicles, including this one, drove right thru the pedestrian clear zone to get on the freeway ramp. Bollards could fix this. @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

I love St. Louis Park but us she talking about a Costco downtown like Lydia Millard is putting a data center in Whittier?

Maybe you've seen this ... looks like Minneapolis managed to get rid of mounted police for financial reasons in 1918 (1/2)

But the digging I did also bought up interior pictures of the Labor Temple's Auditorium, which was vast. I can't begin to imagine how wild this was for jazz and rock concerts in the '60s and early '70s. Link to Labor Review Archives here: news.arcasearchdev.com/usmnmlr/

Came across a button I've overlooked in the past. I *think* it may have been a pin given to union members who pitched in money to build the storied Minneapolis Labor Temple.

Can’t believe my wife sent this to the family group chat *harrumphs indignantly*

looks like the kind of symbols the Governor of Utah tried to describe

#OnThisDay Sept 15, 1946: Students Roxanne Miller and Jean Brown check their departure time at the Milwaukee Road Depot in downtown Minneapolis. They're enroute to William Woods College in Fulton, Missouri, where they attend classes.

We should have saved him to the clipboard. 😕

It's always 4:20 when you don't have a watch

A year ago, this would have been close to suicide. Protected bike lanes save lives. @eastbankmpls.bsky.social
