Hanging out with a video camera in 1991 in Powderhorn Park for the first ever Powderhorn Park Art Fair.
Via Mpls Issues Forum
I absolutely love the Powderhorn Art Fair. I asked my wife to marry me after it one year, one of our first dates was there, and we look forward to it every year. Can’t wait to bring Baby Dean to it next weekend.

Typocartography
stuffaboutminneapolis:
twincitizen:
Inspired by Jenny Beorkrem and her fantastic Ork Posters series, I’ve created a Minneapolis neighborhood map, formed entirely of typographic elements.
Each of Minneapolis’ 80+ neighborhoods is represented. The letters in each neighborhood’s name forms its boundaries. Type is set in Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold.
If your walls would like one, proofs are...
MinnPost - Pawlenty says there's 'credible'... →
He said he suspects that any illegally voting felons might have favored Franken, but hastened to add: “I don’t know that.”
Just in case I haven’t said it in a few days, Tim Pawlenty is a huge jackass.

Target Field ranks 1st in Stadium Experience on... →
adambez:
Not a bad result for Target Field only 40 games in. The Xcel Center got on the list at #3, while the Wolves and Vikings bring up the rear at #112 & #118 respectively (out of 122).
What I love the most about Target Field so far is that I’ve had an incredible time no matter where I sit. From behind home plate to the furthest section in upper deck first base side to the...

Playing for the World →
Look, can we get this straight, right from the get-go, from the first whistle: It’s football, O.K.? Football. Not soccer. It’s never been soccer. Nobody but midwestern cougars calls it soccer. Soccer is a late-19th-century English-university slang word that’s an abbreviation of “association,” as in “association football,” to distinguish it from “Rugby football,” which, incidentally, is the origin...
Town Hall Brewery 2nd Location →
Yesterday, the Town Hall Brewery closed on a property on the 48th block of Chicago Avenue South. We plan to open a second location there sometime this fall.
This is wonderful news for South Minneapolis, which has a great lack of good beer bars (besides Busters on 28th).
Turtle Bread, Longfellow →
Turtle Bread, Longfellow Neighborhood, Minneapolis: It took about five years, but Tosca, which adjoins the Turtle Bread in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, is open — and jam-packed every night. Now, Harvey McLain is once again expanding his Turtle Bread empire. He has signed a purchase agreement to buy a 3,800-square-foot building in the Minneapolis Longfellow neighborhood near 34th...

Keep It, Already
adambez:
I go to TF to see great players play a great game, and when you see a hit like that, even if it wasn’t by your team, you just have to say “wow” and give the guy some props. Throwing the ball back is like spitting in his face.
You know what? If I catch a Major League baseball, I’m hanging on to it. It either came off of a Twins hitter’s bat or out of a Twins pitcher’s hand. Either...
