Yeah, each state is different for sure.

I also agree with you that alcohol can become too much of a focus for some folks. It's unfortunate.

Why can't families go?

The whole point of this was to enable more places to be open that showed the game. Sports Bars & Restaurants included. They aren't family-unfriendly just because they sell booze.

Many places serve mimosas for Mother's Day, this is similar

Oh, it's hockey. When my daughter's U12 & U15 team would play (no matter the time), there would be the "Pre-game Parent Meeting" in the parking lot where parents would hammer a couple beers before the game... it was not just our team. It was a "thing".

Gold Medal hockey rates.

It’s day 76 of the ICE occupation of
MSP.

ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November.

And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods.

Stay vigilant, and let’s pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.

There was a spot on 35E in St Paul (just south of Hwy 36) where the speed dropped to 5mph, due to construction that was there a year prior.

I can only imagine dropping from 60 to 5 quickly.

Get to the Art Shanties if you can! Art on a frozen lake is one of my favorite and most surreal winter activities.

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

I've read your thread a few times now. I've shared it with a number of people.

Two things I felt moved to say:
1) Thank you, this was wonderful
2) I am glad you enjoyed your time here, come back again soon!

Trump will say she completed her mission and give her the medal of Freedom.

Bookmark this...I'd bet there's a 50%+ chance.

We definitely truck it away, but never from the middle that I've seen. Interesting.

In MN, we get about 54 inches and Montreal gets about 84 inches... they are as cold as us. They likely have retention issues we don't face.

Snow removal is a thing for us in the Twin Cities. There's good practices, but no great answers... especially when snow can stay in place for 3-4 months

Ain't over. While Minnesota still is dealing with ICE, other places are in this with us, and need support too. Even if it is just greater awareness.

100% spot on.

As a Minnesotan, my expectation is that this is a distraction to get funding through. Nothing more.
