Minneapolis murders 2010: Not 'Murderapolis Redux' →
minnpost:
Despite violence early in the year, Minneapolis is two weeks away from the New Year with 39 recorded murders. That’s the second-smallest number since 1986, according to University of Minnesota’s Eric Ostermeier (though still double the 19 murders in 2009).
While that’s notable, what Ostermeier is really curious about is whether the media will report the average number with as much...

The Big Chill Is A Big Success - Western College... →
Michigan defeated Michigan State 5-0 in the Big Chill outdoor hockey game, but that is almost secondary. The big story was 113,411 people were inside Michigan Stadium to witness. That breaks records for any hockey game anywhere, any game inside Michigan Stadium, and I believe any NCAA sporting event.
The idea that college hockey might have just set the record for largest college sporting event...

The REVolution Will Be Memorialized: A Tribute to... →
Blast from the past! Tonight Jake Rudh will share the decks at his King’s Wine Bar monthly with a very special guest [Brian Oake]. If you were in the Twin Cities between the years 1994-1997 and were anything close to cool, you ought to remember the short-lived yet awesome radio station REV 105 (Revolution Radio).
Tunes start at 9pm (Oake spins from 9-10, Rudh from 10-12) and the event is...

My Favorite Bars
I posted this to twitter, but wanted to expand on it here as well. After Jason DeRusha listed his Favorite Bars in the Star Tribune today, it got me thinking about my own list. So here goes…
Acadia Cafe: This is my bar of choice. Excellent beer selection, large windows looking out to the traffic of Cedar Riverside, and a great casual atmosphere.
Muddy Pig: Great beer selection, superb...

Over the Thanksgiving weekend I learned that my great-great grandparents were married in Bremen, Germany in a year I can’t recall right now, and moved to America soon after. When they arrived they apparently dropped a prefix from our already quite distinct surname.
I’m giving...
