Running 8 blocks home pushing a stroller as branches crash down around me was not how I expected my little ice cream walk to end.

Minneapolis from the Blue Line.

Hot take: blue line ridership could be increased if there was any retail near the stations, any at all

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social Merch Idea: give us this on a Dan Flashes style shirt

Everyone’s saying this is what Nicollet should look like

More porches, more fest #kingfieldporchfest

Is that Bruce Springsteen at Kingfield Porchfest? Maybe

Hottest ticket in town

Kingfield porchfest: sex, drugs, and rock and roll

Summation of Minneapolis News this week: Feds arrest Big Dog, dog park put down, DeWitt dogged by dfl, bassais lone wolf, Lynx’s miles certified dawg

Notably absent from this meeting

It has long been my belief that this building just East of the Aldrich bridge over the greenway should become a bike up bar.

Tonight is Kingfield Porchfest 6-9pm Get your face melted off on Pillsbury Avenue next to Kathy’s tomato planters

I don’t think the doj is gonna be able to prove that kicking a car caused $1000 in damage.

Doj trying to make driving a Subaru a crime?

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social light rail ridership would skyrocket if there was a light rail connecting uptown/lynlake/whittier with downtown Build a metro under lyndale! You’re already digging the road up!

Not the biggest issue but it blows my mind that the money budgeted for ICE under trump (140 billion) could create from scratch 6 new underground metro systems longer than Boston’s (4th longest in US)

Hating on the pencil is all fine and good but if anyone writes a substack calling the kingfield garden tour “inauthentic”, they’re gonna end up as compost for my Watermelon Gerkins.

Lyndale businesses suffering from lack of parking on Lyndale today

Gonna try out a couple headlines for local news to use today: “Left turn erasure: Uptown businesses say city pencil pushers’ lead to business closures, call new medians a big number 2.”

This is what Andrea Corben and the uptown association think will happen with a Lyndale ave bike lane

I showed up at my barber for a haircut today to find he had been murdered in St Paul a week ago. Awful. I feel terrible for his family and friends and hope they find who did this. Our last conversation we talked about how the occupation was affecting him. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

If you wrote a complaint email to Marion Greene last summer about the bad “final design” for Lyndale, write a thank you email thanking her for listening to community feedback and fixing many of the issues

If I wanted a soft serve cone with sprinkles in the greater kingfield area, where would the best option be? Good times pizza does not have sprinkles.

Many people do not know this was kingfield was actually originally part of Paris, not Minneapolis. It did not join Minneapolis, the Paris of the Plains until 1901. Vestiges of kingfield’s Parisian origins can still be found on some street corners.

I had a very sorry excuse for a s’mores bar at Art a Whirl last weekend so now I am on a quest to create the ideal s’mores bar. Marshmallow and graham crackers are the stars of the show. Chocolate is just the back up singer

Look upon my ostrich ferns and weep

New sign I had not seen before in the central neighborhood.

Sometimes I forget that bluesky is not just for minneapolis.

Everybody’s at the kingfield F market today

Every time I ride the 18 bus on nicollet, I think about how this bus should be a lightrail. Hoping that getting rid of the kmart detour cuts minutes off the ride to downtown.

First hummingbird of the year

A proposal: The currently vacant store next to Kyatchi should not become another market again for a 4th time. It should be a beer/wine/liquor store. It would need a zoning exception. I will personally go to a city council meeting and petition if someone plans this store.

Boys, it’s that time of year… We’re riding tomorrow. Lock up your mothers.

Tulip house is tuliping

As a result of 6 hours of free parking on Lake Street in uptown last night, UPTOWN IS BACK. Victoria’s secret decided to reopen their 2 story department store. Cowboy Slims is reopening even more cowboy-y. The apple store is back. Chino latino is now chino latino mediterrino

Hottest club in uptown? Kowalskis. Now with a live band

Insane sports weekend opportunity in the Twin Cities. Tonight: wolves playoff game. Tomorrow: wild playoff game, lynx game. Sunday: loons. Tuesday: twins 5 leagues. 1 weekend (plus tuesday). What can we call this? Minnesota May Madness. The people have to know.

I don’t think anyone can sum up the vibes at the Mayday parade yesterday better than this bumper sticker just did #bumperstickersofMinneapolis

It was a hard winter here in South Minneapolis. But now it’s Spring…

Happy May Day! I fucking love it here

Mayday parade giant creatures

Mayday Parade

Someone or some group has diligently put these stickers on every single stop sign I have seen this week.

Just got the call. If one more timberwolf gets injured, I’m playing small forward tonight. Suited up in my living room. They said I am allowed 1 beer.

This machine kills SUVs

Did the Giant T rex on portland avenue move a few blocks north? It is not next to the Giant Shark anymore but now a new T rex is a few blocks away

Happy Spring, from your neighborhood giant skeleton
