Assuming she's not lying saying she's an attorney (obviously a very distinct possibility), would love to have her reported to the state bar for this harrassment.
Just parked in ECCO to hit 32nd Street beach/playground with my kids.
Had to take a pic of the lawn signs epitomizing cognitive dissonance.
All are Welcome!!
Only if you can afford it!!!
New noise cameras in New York City's Upper West Side will snap a pic of cars and motorcycles exceedig 85 decibels (like being next to a lawnmower).
Fines are $220 for a first citation, and up to $2.625 for repeated offenders.
A Hennepin County judge has again ruled Minneapolis must immediately stop using its 2040 plan, which received national acclaim for its aggressive approach to building more housing and managing urban sprawl but spurred pushback from residents.
Free idea for MPD:
Send a few officers each day out in neighborhoods to ticket all the vehicles missing front plates as well as non-up-to-date registration.
Guarantee will bring in a lot
Start with Kenwood. Every Tesla I see is missing a front plate

This is completely unneccessary from a member of the Minneapolis City Council, regardless of the leadership role they may have, especially to a member of the press
Got a scolding from Council *Vice President* Aisha Chughtai for calling her Council Member and I — just want to know what’s going on with the labor standards board proposal
As police claims of PTSD soar in Mpls (avg ~ $170,000 per claim), officials scramble to find solutions
City attorney needs to take this head on. Some of these are no doubt legit, but vast majority are essentially bullshit.
Fight these in court.

Mpls Park Board Planning to Block the Greenway from Becoming an Official Regional Trail
Contact the Park Board and tell them NOT to block the Midtown Greenway from becoming an official Regional Trail.
How to contact Park Board Commissioners:
Tim Walz embodies the Midwestern values that conservatives never talk about
Walz’s entire identity is what we think of when we think of the average American, but his politics are radically inclusive.

How is a tenant renewing their lease indicative of anything?
Has shades of "if they didn't they leave an abusive relationship it must not have happened" frankly.

Ugh
@natehoodstp
They decided to solely respond to the lawsuit on technical procedural grounds
But they did not do anything, even after judge urged them, to respond on the merits (i.e., do an environmental study showing 2040 is good for environment)
Just massive lawyer 101 fuckup
Uptown might be coming back, but not in the way you'd expect

First real snowfall in Minneapolis this morning.
You know what that means!
Number of ways Minnesota drivers suck:
1) GOING TOO FAST -- its slippery as fuck out. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN
2) Following too closely -- You are going to slide FORFUCKINGEVER. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN

1) it's protesting unsafe conditions ... especially where it is the designated detour for an off-street bike path
2) whether an "accident"* or not, that intersection is very unsafe
3) your callousness is disappointing. Military veterans are usually more understanding
Riding around Lake of the Isles with the kids and my daughter has a small crash (solo).
While she's laying on the ground, an asshat comes from behind yelling "on your left!" At her. She's 6.

Minneapolis Park Board to consider killing plan to make Midtown Greenway a regional trail for although it would greatly improve the park system it would create slightly more work for them
Allowing current occupants to age in place in their neighborhood of over 40 years, while adding an additional 4 units to the neighorhood, "doesn't meet the goals of the 2040 plan"???!??!?

Start at the back of the park and work your way back to parking lot. Will often allow you to have shorter lines earlier in the day (depending on when arrive, of course)
Came across this carnage this morning.
Appears that one driver was stopped at the light on southbound Hennepin and was rear-ended at extreme speed by the other driver.
Just guerilla urbanism'ed 28th Street bike lane with

between Hennepin and Girard putting cones up where the bollards should be.
Good times ...
Bob Kroll an ignornant moron?
News?
MPD could immediately better community relations and its image, and I mean IMMEDIATELY, by getting rid of Kroll as its President of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis.
He's an offense to law enforcement

But its bizarre. Not only do people stop well past the stop line at stoplights ... many stop WELL behind it (like at least a car length)
