Minneapolitan since 2019. Working on fully assimilating by cargo biking with 2 kids and playing beer league hockey.
I do that every night.

No suprise, MSP is on the list.
From @theathletic.com: Is the Bay Area in California the greatest women’s sports city in the United States?
Our staff thinks so.

What makes a great women’s sports city? We ranked the top 10 in the U.S.
The Bay Area earned the top spot in our first-ever city ranking, and the No. 2 city might surprise you.

I saw a gaggle of green line trains just south of Shady Oak station this morning. I feel like a proud dad watching his kids take first steps.

The bike/ped detour was 75% torn up this evening. Only the last few hundred feet on the east end still there.
Some construction on going still at West Lake Station, but look what they let me do this morning!

I am not prepared. I need to get studded tires on my bike.
I've been sleeping on this one - but you shouldn't. There's a CHANCE of some light snow accumulation overnight. Some model runs still showing it missing us entirely - some 1-2" of slushy snow (I'd expect roughly 1" to be safe). Timing is just after midnight - so you'll know when you wake up! #MNWX

How many tries does it take to park legally?

I think an extremely effective graphic for MN would be to show how the length of ice fishing season has changed since the 70s. That would really change some hearts and minds.
A few graphics showing how climate change is affecting the state. More in the story!

This is why Palmisano keeps getting reelected!
I have favorite beers from Mayor Frey, Council Member Palmisano, three incoming Park Board Commisioners (Jason Garcia, Kedar Deshpande, and Daniel Engelhardt), and Steve Brandt. I have promises for a couple more, but I gotta say I'm a little bummed I don't have more yet!
I spent my evening advancing the cause of hard-hitting journalism by emailing everyone who won a municipal election in Minneapolis or St. Paul (25 people!) to ask them about their favorite Minnesota beer. The Strib can’t be trusted to do this. Only I can.

A pickup and Uhaul blocking both Bryant bikeway and the sidewalk.
I can not figure out how someone would even consider this to be appropriate.
Submitted to the city as an accessibility issue. I feel like i already know the resolution to this.

It’s tough for students to learn in an overcrowded class. What @MFT59.bsky.social is asking for is smaller class sizes so they can make MPS a destination district & give every Minneapolis student the time & tools they need to thrive. We stand with MFT as they fight for a fair contract!

Waiting for the D line, my 4yr old tells a stranger at the bus stop all about his cousin's bday party, which we're headed to.
3 hrs later, we get on the bus home and sit next to that same person! He asked my son about the party and how it went. It was a wonderful, spontaneous moment of community.

While I'm talking about 50th, I may as well expand. Of all the streets in my neighborhood, this is by far the most hostile to non-drivers.
These pictures are between Lynnhurst Park and Bryant on 50th. What I would give to comfortably walk from the park to the coffee shop with a stroller.

My daughter has been home sick and refuses to sleep unless she's on a bike ride. So we did 15 miles this morning, going as slow as possible. Meandered through Lakewood Cemetery looking for the ghost of Hubert Humphrey.

In Minnesota, drivers are required to stop for pedestrians at BOTH marked and unmarked crosswalks. Here I am at one of my least favorite streets, 50th, at one of my least favorite intersections, 50th and Aldrich. Let's see how long it takes for someone to follow the law.

Hot tip for Josh. I'm nowhere near Ward 8. Would not recommend voting for him. Seems incompotent.
