Is Ira Jourdain taking running seriously? He has a website but I requested a lawn sign and never heard back. I have not seen any around the ward either.

I used to regularly run around cedar. There is a lovely dirt trail which starts after the canal and meets up with the paved section near kennilworth trail. If the connection was made where you walked (yellow) we could have a full walking loop around the lake.

This assumes the lack of liquor stores is considered a) a problem and b) worth fixing, which I am sure there is a range of opinions on

I appreciate hearing from an expert. It may be easier to just loosen CM2 allowed uses. Although more ground floor commercial would make a pharmacy more likely to be built but your point of stifling is fair. Maybe just key intersections?

Last time I rode the B line we sat through 3-4 cycles of a light after the bus lanes ended.

Is it city council, metro transit, or the met council that controls if buses have signal priority or not?

South Minneapolis Cold Case: Kingfield’s Missing Beer Stores A suspicious lack of beer stores in one Minneapolis neighborhood raises troubling questions, forcing simple six-pack runs to become odysseys.

An hard-hitting investigative report of the swirling conspiracies designed to force Kingfield residents to forsake the comfort of their beloved neighborhood and trek miles to purchase a case of voodoo rangers. The reason is beyond the pale (ale)

The map is centered around 38th and Nicollet and shows a blue diamond shape that indicates the walkable distance in 15 minutes and a larger overlapping red diamond shape which indicates the 30 minute walking distance. 2 Beer stores are located at the very far northern edge of the 30 minute walking shape.

This is something I really do not get with republicans. They say we need to encourage Americans to have more kids but then they do everything they can to make it harder to raise kids in the US.

Most of kingfield is zoned UN1 or N2 for urban neighborhood but about 10% of the homes in Kingfield are zoned β€œS” for spooky, which requires them to have year round halloween decorations

I just want the record to state, if the record is stating things, that becka is employing a classic racist/sexist canard of acting like women and anyone not a white man cannot have agency

It feels racist and sexist to imply that women and POC cannot have their own political stances without a man being the one orchestrating everything, right?
