Streets Are Third Spaces: A Call to Reclaim Them This year has underscored the urgency of neighborly connection amid federal violence on our streets. The urbanist solution? Close your block in a way that repairs and reconnects.

Very amused that my For You feed is literally 90% posts about the cool St Paul jacket

You'd think our state's premier research university would be screaming from the rooftops about this. But UMN admin are happy to fall in line and mold the U however they need to keep the money flowing

Minneapolis repitching multi-million first responder center, state dollars in jeopardy Minneapolis community safety leaders are repitching a multi-million-dollar plan for a new training and wellness center just months after it was rejected by the council.

Thousands of our neighbors are struggling to pay rent. Mayor Frey is sending scolding letters painting small business aid and rent assistance as fiscally irresponsible. MPD blew $4.3 million on overtime last month.

And now the Frey administration wants $38 million for MPD’s own cop city?

The Minneapolis Foundation needs to give @mplsnightmayor.bsky.social a grant to build a state-of-the-art stump party facility in city limits. It's embarrassing that our top talent and those tourism $ are going to an inner ring suburb
