Inspired by a Facebook friend of mine, I’m trying to compile a list of the best urinal troffs in Minneapolis. Best, being of course, very subjective.
I’ve already got my favorite two lined up:
C.C Club
First Avenue
Now, I don’t get out much anymore, so I don’t which establishments even have troffs these days. Can you help me out?
Grumpy’s downtown.

Where Hockey Is Growing, State by State -... →
What they show is a country where hockey on a participatory level is growing by big leaps in those Sun Belt states that have new or newly popular N.H.L. teams — places like the District of Columbia, North Carolina, Georgia (despite the Atlanta Thrashers’ huge problems drawing fans), Tennessee and Florida.

Simple, Good, and Tasty profiles the newly expanded Kitchen in the Market at the Midtown Global Market.
The 14 chefs who currently share space at Kitchen in the Market — there’s still room for more — include caterers, bakers, artisans, and even a mobile food truck owner, most of whom have experience cooking professionally and running their own businesses.
It’s hard to...

Strib:
The Twins have announced that 150 of their 162 games will be telecast this season on Fox Sports North.
Eight games are currently scheduled for national telecast on FOX or ESPN, meaning that games on FOX (Ch. 9 in the Twin Cities) will be the only ones on over-the-air TV.
This stinks for non-cable owners; and shows that MLB thinks that viewing baseball is for...

Surly Brewing Plans Huge Expansion
The new $20 million destination brewery will be a two-story, 60,000 square-foot building, complete with a roof deck beer garden, a 250-seat restaurant with mouth-watering view of our brewery, and a 30-foot bar.
I’ve talked about this a lot on twitter since the announcement was made last night, about how I don’t love the idea of this proposed new brewery. Don’t get me wrong, I am...

Nike Cooperstown Heritage (MLB Twins) Men’s T-Shirt
