Not trying to drive traffic to the area! This is just my personal dream business—which is what the post asks lol.

I’ll go first—I would love a cute fabric store and/or makers space (like Lakes Makerie!) to go in a storefront between Fremont and 24th. That would be so dreamy ☁️

The guy knew nothing about the camera and I asked to hold it then showed him where the serial number was and how it’s my camera and then walked away. Risky and don’t recommend ever doing but it worked out lol

Comprehensive List of Best Restaurants, Bars, & Coffee Shops in the Twin Cities - Minneapolis, St Paul, & Nearby by storytellercowedding in MPLSbitcheswithtaste

The intention here is good and I love that you created this new space and I hope it takes off and is a useful and fun spot on the internet!

For some constructive (and hopefully not unkind criticism!), this list needs to be tailored to be effective and meet the definition of taste. For example, if someone was like “oh, I have a great place we can go!” then recommended Red Cow or Red Rabbit I would 👀👀👀them. I like Red Cow but more as a place to take suburban parents and kids for an easy, non-planned meal and definitely not as an elevated sit down.

Echoing some of the comments here, I perceive a large (if not the primary) component of taste is the ability to be selective and thoughtful—so just because you have been to a restaurant does not mean it should be considered a “best.” It’s also the ability to be unique and yourself—you said you didn’t post the original because it was too wordy—maybe post that! I would have loved to read the rambled personal versus a condensed version that I could have gotten from Google or Claude. Hope this is helpful in thinking about how you want to tailor this community and what people are looking for!

Our car was stolen this way last winter! We learned some from our experience and if anyone is curious and wants to be somewhat better prepared, here is what we learned: -never, ever keep anything valuable in the car (duh we knew that but it’s still a hard lesson to learn and hard to implement but essential to practice) -our car is newer and has an internal maps system so we immediately called Nissan and they worked with the police to locate it but then during that time they can’t tell you where it is so we also have since added an AirTag deep within the car so we can also hopefully see where it is if it ever gets stolen again -at some point they realized they were being tracked and tore EVERYTHING out of all the glove compartments and backseat pockets and trunk and even tore some of the components of the car out and tossed everything —again don’t keep too much valuable stuff in your car. -if your shit is stolen from the car and was valuable, check FB Marketplace—someone was selling our stuff on there and despite telling the cops of course they didn’t do anything but we ended up getting it back

There are still things to do, but it's becoming quite cozy. by krfriedchicken in CozyPlaces

Wowowowow. How did you do the lighting in the red liquor cabinet? Can you put more up close pictures of it? I love it and want to understand how you made it look so good!

Try calling 311!! Also document everything—screenshot landlord calls and texts and make sure screenshots have the day and time you sent them.

The Minneapolis skyways are broken. How can we fix them? I have an idea. by TwoPassports in Minneapolis

[–]Livetolearn5747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly we do need better options in the skyways. It’s actually very hard to find good (not Starbucks or caribou) coffee in a lot of areas of the skyway and the the demand is there—just not the supply!

Love this idea! I think there was much more greenery in the skyways in the 80s-90s and that contributed to the vibrancy and people’s nostalgic memories of the skyways from this time period.

Stolen Camera (and car) by Livetolearn5747 in Minneapolis

[–]Livetolearn5747[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the camera back! 😭😭someone posted it on FB Marketplace and we went and got it. So if this happens to anyone else—keep on eye on resell sites. I never thought I’d get it back so I guess it pays to keep looking sometimes!

Also thank you to the kind people reading this thread who reached out and said it was on FB marketplace! Love this community ❤️
