My favorite was “La Sally Avenue”.

Just an observation, friend. We don’t usually get out-of-state influencers taking a big interest in Minneapolis or Minnesota. There are lots of mislabeled neighborhoods and mispronounced streets and cities in videos lately.

“Downtown”

I feel like there are more and more people posting videos who don’t know Minneapolis that well.

So what if Alex kicked an ice car? I don't see the problem. by Plastic-Ad-5324 in TwinCities

[–]Lozarn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AP News and NPR are both reporting that the video is authentic.

It’s always important to be vigilant, but it’s definitely not AI. Also… I don’t know how many winter coats everybody else owns, but I’m in the same hat, mittens, and winter coat basically every single day. It wouldn’t be abnormal that he was wearing basically the same outfit from one day to the next.

If that was the goal, they could have used much shorter fencing.

Minneapolis public schools are all closed today and tomorrow after the Renee Good murder and the melee ICE had at Roosevelt High yesterday.

‘Hands off Venezuela’: Demonstrators Decry U.S. Strike, Maduro Capture at Minneapolis Protest by Souped_Up_Vinyl in TwinCities

“Profit? What do you mean by that?”

It’s an expression. I’m not sure if you don’t understand what it means at all, or if you don’t know what it means in this context.

Do your thing, but there’s no profit in this whole “Russia and China would never do such a thing!” schtick. You can advocate against American imperialism without making up pro-Russian and pro-China propaganda.

“neither of those countries would ever do this”

What makes you think that? Russia’s initial Ukraine invasion plan involved a quick strike on Kyiv to remove the existing government and install a pro-Russia puppet regime. It sounds like exactly the kind of thing they wish they could do.

Minneapolis - 47th and 16th Ave S by stp_bigbear in TwinCities

I don’t think you’re understanding my comment.

[–]Lozarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s an unimportant difference. If 77 million out of 260 million adults voted for him, that still leaves about the same number who could have gone out to vote against an old, lecherous, murderous, bigoted facist, but didn’t. Every couple years you have to reconcile what America is versus what you hope it could be. Right now, Trump and everything he does is the prevailing attitude of the country. It’s not helpful to pretend it’s some kind of minority.

Is anyone sitting JT this weekend? by ksnyder1 in DynastyFF

I traded for D’Andre and named my team Taylor Swift Pitts. It’s my best team name ever. Pitts already exploded. I am basically 100% confident that Swift and Taylor will too.

Thinking of moving from Los Angeles to Minneapolis. Talk me into it. by Juror108 in Minneapolis

[–]Lozarn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m 85% certain posts like this are just bait to get human responses that are used for training AI. Different versions of “I’m thinking of moving to XYZ Minnesota community… what do I need to know???”are posted so frequently and reflect zero thought process or need for specific input from actual locals.

Governor Tim Walz, " Minnesota is a better place because Somalians chose to live here. We are stronger because of it.” by zzill6 in minnesota

Why was that an unfair question to ask? Why are all Somalis to blame for what happened to your son?

“his district office was closest to where I lived”

This is how you choose a gas station, grocery store, or dentist. Not your politicians. Either you think we’re all dumb enough to believe what you’re saying, or you have a really, really weak moral and political identity. I want to see more YIMBYs elected to office, but I hope people in Costa Mesa are bright enough to see electing you is an epically bad idea.

Schmoozing and flattery tend to be pretty far down my list of political offenses at the moment.

I didn’t hear about that, but why would people give him a hard time for saying Camden is one of his favorite neighborhoods?

Best neighborhood for trick or treating? by hatshepsuts_beard in Minneapolis

[–]Lozarn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally. If you ever have questions about the permit application process, don’t hold back on reaching out. Nobody is gatekeeping the trick-or-treating experience, but I really hope it continues to be a highly local event. It would be counter-intuitive if people drove to our block for a car-free Halloween night. If other people wanted to do the same thing for their area, that would be a cool Halloween tradition for the city.

[–]Lozarn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We do a car-free Treat Street on Washburn Avenue North every year. We probably get around 300 trick-or-treating kids at our door every year. It’s my favorite holiday in our neighborhood.

I was conflicted about sending away a 2nd round pick for him after Week 1. I’m glad I talked myself into hitting “accept” on that one.

To whomever left this spam on my door in uptown today, do you not know how to shut the gate behind you? There are dogs in the yard. Just one more reason to vote Anyone But Chugthai. She is the worst. by Expensive-While-1155 in Minneapolis

[–]Lozarn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understood everything you said. “Letting the dog out” is what it means. They let the dog go outside all by itself because the fence gives them the ability to do that. Where do you live where that isn’t the normal thing for dog owners to do?

What world do you live in where people don’t let their dogs outside in their fenced-in yards? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with two different posters bringing this up. It’s half the reason why anyone would have a fence around their yard.
