When I've felt the most estranged ever were the 1.5 years I lived in Minnesota, during college.
Maybe it's not a coincidence that this is where I am? (He wrote, knowing many local people read this board)

Just found out about this today. I hope the owners get their wish to sell it to someone who'll keep the store going, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

in case anyone's in the market, the house down the road from where i grew up is for sale
iirc no one actually lived in it when i was a kid, and it was known throughout the township as 'the castle'. trespassing there to merely see it was a rite of passage. i went there once with my friend and my dog and we rang a bell that was for some reason built into the west end of the building, and the groundskeeper came out and yelled at us. my dog got into it with his, and ultimately we high-tailed it out of there before he could call our parents. then we walked home along the railroad bed next to the river. this concludes my YA coming of age story.

Thinking of how different Perkins locations bring me back to different times.
Burnsville Parkway and 35W: getting toys from the wishing well, swarms of post-church churchgoers if we tried to go on a Sunday.
494 and France: hanging out with the first people I knew online (local-dial-up bulletin boards). Lots of goths. One large group ditched without paying and somehow left me there (maybe I’d gone to the bathroom?).
Riverside and 94: mid-20s, I had written/directed a two-actor play, and we would bring our friends there after the show, in good spirits. And Rocky Horror pre-gaming a decade before that.
And then people-watching at the Embers on Hennepin after First Avenue and whatever.

I got hired to hostess the Excelsior Boulevard Perkins and quit after the training day because they wanted me to walk in the door, already in uniform. Pay was minimum wage with no share of tips. Even my mom was like, ‘will they be punching you in before you get on the bus in that?

I know this is mostly to talk shit about our fair state, but each election I'm blown away by how well run our polling places are in Minneapolis, such enthusiastic and helpful volunteers. (Was also happy to see some millennials at the tables in addition to the core of cool nice old Longfellow hippies). Everyone was great, in and out in five minutes.

Minnesota has a Democratic governor. Minneapolis has a Democratic mayor. The Minneapolis City Council is 12-1 Democratic. The 1 is a Green.
