“Picked to Click is an idea whose time has come and gone because in the wake of...”
– this is the best article that City Pages has printed in at least six years. (via mediation) Wow, that’s pretty sweet. Seriously, read the whole article. I’ve long joked about the P2C, saying that the winner was cursed and would never be heard from again after about 3 months. Would...

“Color coding seems like a way to dumb down the system. If you are smart enough...”
– From the comments at Met Council’s Color-coded Transit Plan | Bill Roehl. Wow, I’m pretty sure that’s the dumbest comment I’ve read in a long time.

South Minneapolis News
southmplsnews: I’m changing my Longfellow Tumblr blog and expanding to all of South Minneapolis. Well, at least the Longfellow, Powderhorn and Nokomis neighborhoods. I’ll still keep up the Longfellow Twitter List and the Longfellow Dining Map, and I’ll probably add new maps/lists for the other neighborhoods. Thanks.

South Minny: Gaps in neighborhood coverage →
southminny: I feel like there’s a serious dearth of localized news sources in my neighborhood - I live in Northrup, the neighborhood bordered by 42nd on the north, the creek on the south and between Chicago and Cedar. I know there’s a rag called the Southside Pride which seems to be mostly ad driven and they… Southwest Journal is the only local paper worth anything, but I’d love to see...

“How glorious the Twin Cities are in early October. Some of the leaves have...”
– Twins and Their Fans Hold On to Hope - NYTimes.com (via wintwins) Beautiful article on the Twins, Target Field, and the Twin Cities. Click through and read the whole thing. It’s excellent. (If slightly painful…) Oh man, that was just you said, beautiful and slightly painful.

MinnPost - Cityscape: Target Field isn't just... →
As Target Field wraps up its first season, rave reviews continue to pour in from near and far. Players, fans and media critics seem to love its fresh design, native beauty and joyful atmosphere (despite the home team’s playoff frustrations). But Target Field’s significance stretches beyond baseball. Perhaps more than any structure in the Twin Cities, the ballpark provides a teaching...

Strip Club Meat & Fish owners take over Subo →
Niver and Johnson opened the Strip Club in St. Paul’s Dayton’s Bluff area in 2008 and sold their part in the Town Talk Diner shortly afterward. Both restaurants are located in neighborhoods that would have scared away most other restaurateurs. Yeah, Longfellow is such a scary area for good restaurants. Dayton’s Bluff, yes, but really?

Humphrey Institute poll shows Palin is a major...
mnpublius: Tom Emmer is Sarah Palin’s candidate for Governor of Minnesota. That’s just what we need — a Governor just like Palin. Last week, I wrote that Palin’s endorsement would hurt Emmer in the general election. New details from the Humphrey Institute/MPR poll confirm that. They show that Palin is quite unpopular here in Minnesota, just as she is around the nation. Read More Seriously.
