Once @eastbankmpls.bsky.social's new board is in place, (voting going on now) they should begin the process to get the city to retire the Marcy-Holmes name to better reflect how people understand that piece of local geography.

The park formerly known as Marcy is now officially Dinky Park! Thanks to neighbors who picked the new name, thanks to @eastbankmpls.bsky.social for leading the charge, and thanks to MPRB for approving the change.

Very sorry to hear that Brian Garrity has died. In 2023, Brian published this great book of his (mostly Minneapolis) music photography, “Pushed Beyond All Reasonable Limits.”

Oddly enough, the final vote on renaming (William L.) Marcy Park will take place the same night as this public hearing about future renaming endeavors.

Any thoughts on the future of "Father Hennepin?"

This is at the end of the private drive passing between the Mill and Main buildings. They must have been going pretty fast to hop it up onto the boulder.

Thanks, Bill:

"Years ago in Minneapolis, for example, elections in neighborhoods around universities were deliberately planned to disenfranchise students. Thankfully, since then there have been a lot of useful reforms around university neighborhoods."

Never thought we’d get aurora like this in Marcy-Holmes, just a mile from downtown. The last photo is without long exposure, we walked outside and then wham, red in the sky

Metro Transit boosts uniformed security presence on light-rail trains
The Twin Cities transit agency has struggled with ridership since the pandemic and safety issues, real or perceived, have proven to be a hurdle in drawing people back to public transit.
