There was a trio of Chris Evans movies playing on my flight: Me watching Materialists and then two people watching Gifted and Knives Out in the row in front of me. What % of the Delta movie selection stares Chris Evans

This is my take on where Uptown is, though I accidentally cut off the area around the Bde Maka Ska pavilion on the east side of the lake.
I live by the Uptown Diner. I think I live in the Wedge/Lowry Hill East but I tell people I live in Uptown if they look confused

We tried the Minneapolis 'Broad City' challenge, aka walking across the city from the top to the bottom that's trending on TikTok. I loved seeing 12 miles of the city on foot, despite the rain! Would you try it? @startribune.com www.startribune.com/how-to-walk-...
Walking Minneapolis, from top to bottom
We trekked (almost) the vertical length of the city, a novel way to experience the place you live. Just be sure to pack a rain jacket.

The pigeon Cher Ami supposedly saved the encircled unit of more than six hundred men later known as the Lost Battalion, who were part of the 77th Division of the U.S. Army during WWII.
