I don't think I've ever seen this

Lyndale plan approved by the city council 8-4! This isn't veto proof, but I'm not too worried. Mayor Frey probably isn't the level of maniac as these council members who voted no: Warren, Shaffer, Rainville, Vetaw.

Good news, if you hang a brisket outside your window this morning, you'll have pastrami for sandwiches by later tonight.

I have no recollection of the Ham Lake fire in the BWCA causing any type of air quality like this. Was I just oblivious?

One cool thing about driving a car is that when you bust off huge pieces of your car due to crashing into objects due to not looking out of your windshield, you can just leave the huge busted off car pieces wherever, just leave them on the side of the street or blocking the sidewalk, it's fine

Had no clue who Turnover was before this album. I absolutely adore this record. open.spotify.com/track/7oh1xS...

Crazy to see the area we paddled through last year is now burning. On one level this a natural process, but on another it's never supposed to be this hot or dry in the BWCA. Hoping the cooler temps and rain the next few days squelches these fires.

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.

One of the arguments by CM Vetaw is that drones will help with illegal auto repair in North. Well there was illegal auto repair 1 block from her Ward 4 office for months, possibly years that neighbors told the council member about and nothing happened for nearly the entire time.

Back in 2007 when I studied abroad in London my snot was black for a good month getting used to the air quality back then. The only explanation was the poor air quality.

I really don’t care what the sun is doing at 8 am, buddy,

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

Flushing Chinatown is rad. A bit of work to get from Brooklyn to Queens, but totally worth it. There's a giant food court in the bottom of the New World Mall. Awesome food.

A candyfloss sunset above Daytona Beach at night. Found out on this work trip that you can drive your car on portions of Daytona's Beach, just like in the old days of the famed race. Not sure how to feel about that. July 2025 #tidesouttuesday #photography #eastcoastkin #florida #daytona

About a year ago I was stuck working in the sweltering Florida heat in July. Now I get to be stuck in the same heat, but back home in Minneapolis.

I've taken this same picture dozens of times at this point. Maybe in the 100s. And yet each time I peer out on to Dog Lake, and the Three Lakes Chain, it's something new. #upnorth #northwoods #wisconsin #scape #forestfriday (on a Monday) #photography

Fuck ICE now and forever

You are in no particular rush, which route do you take from Grand Forks back to Minneapolis?

Just look at this comical amount of tots I got at Bernie’s way up in East Grand Forks.

You Small-Uptowners are a blight on the city.

Simultaneously, both Minneapolis & St. Paul have small groups of unhinged people railing against basic road construction, but using "bike lanes" as a talking point / fig leaf to obscure their retrograde inanity. The need to reconstruct streets is just a fact. No point in a tantrum. And yet...

New Three Lakes, Wisconsin billboard went up in June. Funny enough, my wife tried and tried to stay upright on her water skis. The after pictures were mostly of her falling in. But all that matters is that it looks good. Anyways, she's a pro at knee boarding. Me? I could never.

Relax. The Brewers came back and won it 4-3. Plus it’s a long season. Not like this only happens every four years.

At least I can go back to liking waffles again

thinking the united states is uniquely evil or irredeemable or unsalvageable on some fundamental level is just american exceptionalism in a trench coat, somehow with even more annoying branding

Our rebel loon boat placed 2nd in the Caribou Lake Fourth of July pontoon parade. This is actually the sweet spot to finish in since the winners have to judge the next year and can’t compete.

For those who care, looks like Kwik Trip is starting to roll out EV chargers.

You have two more hours to honor America. Here are few more patriotic things you can do. Play a Fender guitar. Look up the NFL draft order Eat chocolate chip ice cream Watch your favorite Fast and Furious Movie Text your mom goodnight Look at cabins for sale on zillow Give your dog a bone

There's something about old school places like Roeser's Bakery in Chicago. Prices that the push you into decades past. Neon signs that haven't changed for who knows how long. And those bay windows lovingly painted to match. May 2026 #architecture #neon #streetphotography #facades #urbangaze

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.

The *may* part is really, really important to stress here. Other states may choose bans, but in Minnesota we can continue to support inclusion.

One bright spot in an otherwise troubling day of Supreme Court decisions: the Court left intact state laws allowing mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive later. MN is not one of those states. If you vote by mail, send your ballot early so it arrives by Election Day.

Nothing better than a deli lunch in the back of a Southeast Asian market. The Rad Na and spring rolls at Albert Lea’s Asian Market & Food Deli is worth a stop.

Got back to Cincinnati and Over the Rhine at the end of May. Not sure if there's a lovelier place to spend a Friday evening in the US of A. #Cincinnati #Ohio #streetphotography #architecture #urbanism #eck #urbangaze
