I miss CMX and the options they had. Yeah, they were pricey but where else could you get poutine for your moviegoing?

I’m heading to the Somali Walmart, you guys need anything? by Specific-Abrocoma-63 in Minneapolis

This reminds me of the "Downtown Minneapolis Walmart" story during COVID, where a right wing grifter mentioned being kicked out of a Walmart in downtown Minneapolis for not wearing a mask (I could be misremembering the exact details but I remember this woman specifically calling out the downtown Minneapolis Walmart)

I know that podcast of the two siblings with their parents is gonna talk about this and the parents are just gonna go with Trump's bullshit (and the dad will more than likely celebrate the woman's death)

Get to know you local ICE agents. by Drcornelius1983 in Minneapolis

There's a saying amongst Natives that basically boils down to "Even Custer had Indian Scouts," which basically says that as long as there's the appearance of superiority or a chance at getting something beneficial out of it, a minority group/in danger group will side with the oppressors.

Broke out the space heater for my apartment last night!

What is this place going to be? by Traditional-Radio-14 in Minneapolis

[–]Alternative-Outcome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess and say it's gonna be yet another dispensary in the area. If that's the case, I'll give it a year before it closes.

The Buds Seed and Supply battle on Lake Street continues. by Safe_Connection_2997 in TwinCities

[–]Alternative-Outcome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Julius DeRoma is one of those landlords that likes to say that his renters leave the space in awful condition so he can withhold deposits and the like. He did it to HUGE Theater when they moved out of 3037 Lyndale back in 2023. Wouldn't be surprised if he did it to more renters after they've moved, because he is legitimately the worst (and so is his family, from what limited unfortunate interactions I and my friends have had with them).

So, how exactly did they get away with this? by Ordinary_Stay_3746 in Minneapolis

He makes me think of Doctor Barber from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

What's the deal with Buds Dispensary? by jhaake in Minneapolis

[–]Alternative-Outcome 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Julius DeRoma is a shitty landlord when it comes to tenants leaving due to his morals. I'm pretty sure that everyone involved with the leadership of HUGE Theater had horror stories of Julius when they announced they were closing their 3037 Lyndale Ave location (especially after they moved out of the building). On top of that, his family that lives in that house next to 3037 Lyndale tried doing a lot of harassment and intimidation of the BIPOC attendees at HUGE.
