It's even worse than @taylordahlin.com says. Major N/S and E/W routes in Hennepin County, namely Broadway, Franklin, Hennepin, Lake, Lyndale and Penn were vastly widened for NASA. That's why we can't change any of these roads to accommodate people, because a Space Shuttle may appear at any moment.

what if we stack davis, fateh, and hampton in a trench coat and elect “DeJazmar” as mayor and then they secretly mayor by committee ?

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.

Cornhole concerns at the zoning committee: "The cornhole game leads to a continuous thunking noise as the beanbag hits the target. When one goes in the hole there's a loud cry of success."

BRT (Butt Rapid Transit)

this was so much fun!! 🚲 i love my neighborhood and my neighbors 🥲💚 (maybe next year we’ll do the requested “Oops all bridges!” route)

reminder that this is today 🤗 🚲 come thru for a chill group ride, free pizza karma, free bike lights from bike lane uprising, etc!

Twin Cities Hiawatha, two trains a day in each direction, top sustained speed 100 mph, 6-1/4 hours to Chicago on the fastest passenger service in the world in 1939. RETVRN.

Think we just have to admit to ourselves that the brick road on Main Street SE has outlived its kitschy charm and time to move on to actual pavement.

The Minneapolis Park + Rec Board is holding its 2nd public hearing over renaming Marcy Park on Thursday, September 25th at 5:45 pm. Learn more about this endeavor at www.eastbankmpls.org/marcy-park. Sign on to support the name change at: forms.gle/ABSAMRWJXxse...

The blatantness of those with power in this city to protect each other and throw everyone else under the bus is really disgusting So much respect for Dan, definitely need to ensure a firm with actual morals and scruples takes advantage of him being a free agent

love to get home and sit down with my supper and turn on My Stories, however Alien Earth is one of the worst all time for watching while eating

Sorry, this week's episode with Ward 11 city council candidate Jamison Whiting is slightly delayed because I spent too much time working on the One Shining Moment montage.

This Bandcamp Friday it would mean the world if you considered getting a copy of my band’s debut album, “pink balloons” ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/pink-b...

i fucking love bluesky’s #1 band @ekkoastral.bsky.social & especially @jael.bsky.social 🤍

Two pages apart in a recent Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal, a data center opening in a business site, and a business opening in a data center site ...

Dan Patch was not just a horse, but the most famous athlete in the world in 1906. He was never defeated in open competition and his harness record stood for 30 years. Oh and there was also a railway line named after him. And a movie. And a boat. And a bowling alley. And more things I can't remember

mysterious sign in loring park about dorian the cat’s first annual birthday. no date or location given, but there are lots of activities planned and you should bring 3 gifts. “for more information, please read again.”

of course it was the european attendees of the wedding last night who started the train on the dance floor

@worldofoutlaws.bsky.social yall should set up a bot to repost your tweets here plzz (or just also post here too)

if you too are fed up with the milquetoast antics of TC Bear, await the RETVRN of god tier mascot Twinkie, and want to buy merch that doesn’t benefit the Pohlads, my roommate has what you’re looking for www.etsy.com/listing/4360...

Hardly anything could be dirtier & grimier than a relatively small group, hundreds of city residents, gathering in an auditorium to decide a local DFL endorsement. Except a committee of outstate bigwigs overturning that endorsement bc their guy needed it bad. That seems dirtier.

these folks are ghouls

Join us next Thursday, August 28: Cedar Lake Encroachment Tour! events.humanitix.com/cedar-lake-e...

hey someone in the east bank area (who has a fenced in backyard) should sign up to host one of these sensors www.minneapolismn.gov/government/p...

‼️ plz share Hi, i need to help raise $1502 for a community youth to pay down unpaid tuition at MCTC so she can stay in school by August 21st Shes a single mom in programs but cant get financial support until she is registered for classes, which she can’t due to lack of finances 🫠 1/3

last 9 days included driving to KC, topeka, wichita, & STL, flying back, attending an erykah badu concert, going to a drag show, driving back down to southern MN for a dirt race, and driving back in time for NIN. (i will be asleep until further notice)

A Prairie Town at the End of Day. Truman, Minnesota

Losing to a team that then dances in front of you in party hats because it's their cat's birthday gotta be so humiliating

1. TJ’s is great, anyone saying otherwise cannot be trusted. Far superior to TBell 2. Sign up for their taste test if you’re willing to go to their West End test kitchen. Free TJ + gift card 3. I’m still very unhappy about there not being a proper Mpls location & my complaints are well chronicled

please don’t disturb me today, i’m tracking nine inch nails resale ticket prices like i’m the wolf of tickpick

If you’re thinking of switching your MLB fandom, don’t select: - The Brewers. Fans are mean drunks, ballpark is a terrarium - The Cubs. You left frat boys and sorority girls behind in college. - The White Sox. Abandoned by God. - The Cardinals. Fans’ self-regard equal to anyone in the Pohlad family.

Which mayoral candidate will promise to bring the urban, walkable, downtown Hooters back to Minneapolis like St Louis has?

i’ve gone to 2 minor league games in other states, sioux falls and wichita, two full years apart, and both times got to see Tyler’s Amazing Balancing Act

driving to KC & STL with friends but i’m flying back solo before they drive back, and 4 hours south of Mpls i just realized i didn’t bring my passport (& license isn’t real ID) sounds like just need to arrive early but so not excited to be that guy 🫠

ope

thrive mpls a zoom meeting for their supporters a few days ago and we were inside. i've added the full slideshow to my blog post, but wanted to highlight a few things - taylordahlin.com/f/new-pac-in...

In the Thrive Mpls presentation, Steve Minn suggests that every time there is a “crime event,” All of Mpls should geotext in a 1 mile radius “about crime,” basically describing like a combination of the Citizen app but with messaging to vote for Mayor Frey and moderate councilmembers

Just inked a deal with a new sponsor: Eric's Stolen 2006 Chevy Suburban. Keep an eye out for it, will you? The good thing about a 4 episode commitment is that even if Eric finds his suburban, we still get to run the ads and collect our money.

feels like stolen valor when i walk into the welding supply store to refill my co2 tank wearing a shirt for the masonry company i work at when in reality i work in the office and the co2 is to refill my sodastream bottles at home and have never laid a brick and welding scares me 😊

Repo-lads?

Anyone have a recommendation for bike rack rentals for an event? Having trouble finding rental options that aren’t the annoying steel barricades
