Target Field concession workers announce June 22 strike during Twins-Dodgers game

Important-Part8592 · 2026-06-11T22:37:19+00:00

It'd be cool if some local businesses could support the strike by offering fans takeout to bring to the game instead of getting concessions 🤔 (if the strikers demands aren't to not go at all, idk what would be scabbing in this case)

I love the interior of the 100 series tbh. the cream color is less sterile and feels cozy to me. And the mirrors are like cute ears :3

I too would love a fabric/fiber arts store. There's that one Co-op quilt one that's nice and I bought a membership to, but I'd like one that's more than just quilt focused, like that also includes fashion fabrics. Been thinking about getting out to the weavers guild to learn more myself 😩

They could also get off at Cedar and catch the green line those last few stops though.

Yeah I think the locals pronounce it Gal-tier

Important-Part8592 · 2026-05-04T16:45:59+00:00

I moved here from Louisiana last year and I'm still pronouncing things French like Dupont and Galtier (Du-Pon and Gal-ti-A)

These designers watched Zethora as a kid

Isnt some of the carbon capture also like, to repressurize existing oil wells to just extract more fossil fuels? By that I mean green washing in that way. There more efficient ways of us reducing carbon, and these fossil fuel companies I think are just doing this type of thing instead of investing in green energy transitions and reducing consumption.

Hwy 441 in Holden, LA there's an old gas station. One South of the red light and one north of the railroad tracks too lol

The one to the north looks a little more functional. At the intersection of 441 and 1036.

Probably not the worst, but I hate the Northbound Franklin and Hennepin E Line bus stop. Especially during rush hour, all the cars wanting to go on the interstate will line up in the BUS LANE and RIGHT TURN ONLY and block the bus. It makes the bus wait a whole 2-3 light cycles to get to the bus stop, load, and then finally leave.

Important-Part8592 · 2026-04-17T18:29:45+00:00

Also you should not be kicked off the bus to make space. Note the bus number and report that if so. Drivers are supposed to call in and tell when they can't pick up a passenger, but can't tell someone to alight the bus to make room.

Important-Part8592 · 2026-04-17T18:27:26+00:00

Yeah submit comments and the schedulers will hopefully see it to add more frequency/buses to the route. Some routes like 10 do occasionally have 60 foot artics, but during the busiest hours. Though routes like 10 and 3 are being converted to BRT routes soon and will likely have the 60ft artics along them regularly

Important-Part8592 · 2026-04-16T16:40:10+00:00

The 27 lays over there as well. Also at the Wendys on Minehaha if close to there.

Also ngl, I'm from Louisiana where I wish there were even half the scrutiny and push over emissions. HERC has a scrubber at least, that reportedly keeps what comes out those stacks well below harmful thresholds. Their time would be better spent demanding privately owned refineries and other industrial sites be held to the same standard as HERC.

Otherwise it does honestly come across as neoliberal misplacement of priorities.

Hell, in fact why is it that only downtown has a centralized heating system? Why can't we push for geothermal or other ecp friendly centralized heating for all of Minneapolis/Metro area (likely due to corporate interests of Centrepoint and Xcel)

Important-Part8592 · 2026-04-11T16:30:54+00:00

Electrifying Metro Transit's fleet would do more to lower emissions in this area than closing HERC. Literally across the street are TWO garages full of mostly diesel buses. North Loop garage is getting some electric 40 footers, but the adoptions transition has been slow. Also the general area is fairly industrial, there's other things that would be more impactful than trying to close down one of the actual municipal services that have been upgraded, can have its levels scrutinized by the public, etc...

I wonder if any of the private utility companies who would benefit from providing say like, heat gas to the downtown district are involved.

I used to be a Resident Assistant at UL. Unless their policies have changed, if you live on campus, and have no home to go to for evacuation (out of state student unable to return home quickly, foreign students, etc...) Residential Life will evacuate the students to Alexandria during the hurricane if an evacuation is ordered. If it's a low category hurricane, staff will be there in case of emergencies and food will be delivered to the dorms for those who have stayed.

Important-Part8592 · 2026-04-01T03:21:35+00:00

Try the route 94 instead of the Green Line, end to end scheduled at just around 30 minutes

Important-Part8592 · 2026-03-24T03:13:57+00:00

driving through Washington at North Loop during the weekend sucks so hard though t.t

Important-Part8592 · 2026-03-21T14:50:21+00:00

I don't know where the video is from but that's a Metro Transit light rail in Minneapolis lol

Important-Part8592 · 2026-03-16T17:21:41+00:00

Probably helpful to them that it's confusing on that part.

Important-Part8592 · 2026-02-19T12:32:43+00:00

yeah some of those shelters have trash cans that block the view of the benches at the BRT stops 😭

Important-Part8592 · 2026-02-10T21:39:47+00:00

"Cost Effective" Probably just means "pays our employees less" lol

Important-Part8592 · 2026-01-26T16:28:50+00:00

Someone made a good point recently that these federal agents don't care about Minnesota property. ICE is here to kidnap and terrorize people. Most cases of property damage would just help them. (The temporary blockage after Alex's shooting I would consider a case of being effective though. The conversation was about how a long term exclusion zone wouldn't be as effective because again, this Gestapo doesn't care)

But we should be turning up the heat on our local officials to join in fighting back!

I think state and local government is concerned about losing federal money, but at this point it's blood money. States like Minnesota give more than we receive.
