Minnesota/Minnesotans C or D

some keen observers of the minneapolitan/human condition dere

that kinda made me miss mpls a bit tho?

Ny times pranked by idiots or led on by douchebags, either way it is a hilarious awful read.

naw, it's just the NYT being its same old quiddities self -- they just brought their schtick to Minneapolis, is all.

lol I like how 'lives in whittier, drinks in uptown' is made to sound like this low-earner's hardship, like living in astoria or something

They cited a dsm taco place this week and got 2/3 of the details wrong or out of date

"It’s surely no accident that in “Let’s Go Crazy,” the Minneapolis native Prince describes the afterworld as a place where “you can always see the sun, day or night.” Some eight miles downtown are connected by skyways to shield pedestrians from snow, hail and cold, turning the area into a a kind of human ant farm. "

THIS IS AMAZING

They wrote this to blow smoke directly up you

especially since whittier is less than ten blocks away

Mpls blocks, even, not NYC ones

maybe that's a long way to ride on your fixie when you're shaky from tang and not really making a big deal out of the ten dudes you know who have stuck it in your girl

you've gotta have stuck it in one of their girls too, right

Omg there is a slide show

Of which picture #8 plus caption is just

mh no no no, you've got the setup all wrong, you might never have known that satisfaction

but there are SOME dudes whose girls you've etc etc

Is #5 on the roof bar of that seafood place in uptown? If so, I saw a douchebag fight there at about 3 in the afternoon once

Well yeah, I meant that, you have the right line there xp

that would make a good poll, how many dudes do you know who have slept with chicks you've slept with

plus chicks/dudes version to reveal possible gender difference

Just FYI for out of town peeps, Mortimers is the worst bar in the world

wouldn't a real journalist have gone to williams to talk to some chads

That is a horrible poll idea

HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Can someone explain the southwest LRT controversy to me? The impression I get is that the opponents (or people who are perpetually in favor of "looking for other options") are largely rich people who are using environmental arguments like "lake drainage" or the idiotic claim that "people won't use it" as a cover for actual concerns about things like property values and the potential presence of poor people.

That even Hodges seems overly concerned with Rich People Issues like this is why I'm pretty sure I'm going to put Cohen and Samuels in for #1 and #2 on my ballot.

Sorry to hijack this thread with Minneapolis-only issues. Is there a better thread for this to have gone on?

Nah, I may be a stpaulish type but I have a vested interest in dicks fighting public transportation anywhere in our fair cities

otoh, apparently Cohen is against the SW line altogether. It seems like Samuels is the only candidate who doesn't have at least one highly objectionable position. I mean, that "six families" thing is weird, but

er, wait, no he's against streetcars. I'm going to shut up now. ooh, I wonder how much money cherryhomes would give me to vote for her.

People I trust are telling me to vote hodges

i'm against the streetcars too! fucking dumb idea if you ask me. but nobody did, because i live in stp.

jesus god what

Danger Boat Productions is excited to announce a first-of-its-kind forum and debate featuring the leading candidates for mayor of Minneapolis and hosted by the improv theater troupe The Theater of Public Policy. Never before have the top candidates vying to lead a major metropolitan city participated in a live, on-stage conversation that was then interpreted and performed in real time by improvisers.

bryant lake bowl servers are generally as surly as DMV employees

there may be a reason for this
