normal things happening

This weekend five years ago: Armed militants and election deniers with signs reading “Truth will reign” “Stop the steal”, arrived outside the Minnesota State Capitol and in front of Governor Walz’s residence. Weeks later, some travelled to DC to participate in a failed coup.

Wonder if this is one of the officers not able to recognize the crime of murder: "One of the emails the auditors received from a police investigator asked, “Could I be subject to discipline if you believe that any answer I provide is incomplete or untruthful?” www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Downtown Minneapolis as seen from Uptown Minneapolis. Love the government center down there on the right.. Lake Street, November 2025

I think people should not forget who helped push for a ban on their weed drinks

Sounds like we may be able to do this all over again tonight?? From last night at the W 21st Street train station in Minneapolis.

Usually it’s solitary dread that keeps me up too late, so it’s nice when every once in a while it’s communal joy

Brightest northern lights I’ve ever seen in Minneapolis! The reds, greens and blues above Downtown Minneapolis from across Bde Maka Ska.

Minneapolis lakes are a popular place tonight

Northern Lights out here in South Minneapolis

So what’s the latest? Is it RIP on the weed drinks?

RIP Chicago-Lake Transit Center

From a St Paul Dept of Safety and Inspections email: construction permit for a new $11m CBP building construction permit at 670 Bayfield Street next to the downtown StP airport. Note location right near the runways. "Great" place to deport from! @mollycoleman.bsky.social @melvincarter.bsky.social

Looking down Lake Street at LynLake in Minneapolis, November 2025.

hrm

The video here isn't going to win any awards.. but it's about the audio. Might as well just fence off Lagoon at Hennepin if they don't ever want people there. Just unlock it for a couple hours on Friday and Saturdays for the fake bars?

Target out here dumping supplements on the North Loop from the rooftops... Minneapolis, November 2025

"The jury — which feasted on sandwiches for lunch on Thursday, according to a person familiar with jury lunches" www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

People on Lake Street keep saying they got northern lights notifications… this a thing?

Remember when Pryes Brewery tried to open in Uptown and Meg Tuthill had this to say: “Help revitalize the Uptown area? Are you kidding? It’s revitalized honey” Now we have fake bars. soundcloud.com/mnbeeractivi...

Imagine having to go all the way past Lyndale because of fake bars

I know ya'll always think you'll never hit the stage where you don't recognize the headliners.. let me tell you, it'll happen..I digress These guys are standing in line for a show because the area is surrounded by fake bars. Next time? They won't come early to spend money.

Someone once told me the fake bars at Hennepin/Lagoon open when there’s shows at the Uptown Theatre. Hrm… not open.

Look, i'm not a young pup, I still listen to AM radio daily. Seems like the strategy of blowing off the biggest newspapers/tv stations wasn't a winning one: “did not respond to our request for an on camera interview” “cancelled a scheduled interview and did not respond to requests to reschedule”

Minnesota Capitol Mall, as seen from the State Capitol just now

Mayor Jacob Frey is greeted by Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Ward 4 Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw after speaking at his election party last night.

Last night, Minneapolis elected Soren Stevenson to City Council. They’ll represent Ward 8, which includes George Floyd Square.

i think we learned tonight in ward 10 that yard signs don't vote

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey at his election party tonight where he stopped short of declaring victory but added "We are going to stand up against Donald Trump on a national level!". This is the 2nd election since the murder of George Floyd.

I’m at Mayor Freys election watch party where the crowd is very optimistic, some chanting “you did it Jacob!”.

FWIW, Mayor Frey came out to speak to supporters after significantly positive numbers at 9:40 in 2021.

Blois Olson on FOX9 first comment after Mamdani is projected the winner: “he talked about how he would speed up the subways”. They wonder out loud how much that would cost. Weird…

Colorful Bryant Avenue bikeway and Lake Street at Lyndale Avenue. South Minneapolis, November 2025

yikes

Easily the drunkest person on Washington Ave right now is the guy with the “Team mpls” shirt walking in middle of the road falling down harassing people saying people need “blow up dolls”?

Per the Star Tribune, disgraced Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao has been released from prison.

@pfrazee.com am i doing something wrong? in my testing it seems if i share any photo over 1MB it gets destroyed by compression... :(

Fall sunset around Bde Maka Ska. Lots of leaves blown off the trees today and heard maybe snow on Saturday? 😬 South Minneapolis, November 2025

Does anyone know where this bike path sign just off the Midtown Greenway near Lake of the Isles came from? It's been here for years and i've always wondered about it.. Minneapolis, November 2025

Chief Ohara on his officers after the protests that followed 4 of them being involved in killing George Floyd in front of children: “The officers were traumatized”

Cars, cars parked, bikers, walkers on the new Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. November 2025

Update on the fake bars at Lagoon/Hennepin: it’s $20 to be able to go in through the fake TSA screening into the empty bar. Good news: Line is zero people long right now.

November biking in Minneapolis be like: The Midtown Greenway has to be the best looking urban bike trail in the country right now?

Uptown Minneapolis at Hennepin and Lake Street on this day in 2021. It was the day before the election.

very eager to see this one in person. As Anchorage works to make better streets, I like to point people to Minneapolis as another snowy, often dark and cold place that is a solid decade in front of us in terms of working out the kinks on these things (and that we should copy a bunch of things)

Hennepin Avenue ribbon cutting was today after being closed in some form since April 2024. In my opinion, this bike lane is up there at the top of or near the top of the list of the most important bike lanes the city has built in the last ten years...

Halloween 2021:

House with many inflatables Minneapolis, MN 10/30/25

is this why we have warehouse district live with the floaty guy and no more Holidazzle and Aquatennial?
