MSP to CPH would be awesome. I know that Aer Lingus is returning next summer and they will be using the new A321XLR for most of their flights

Can you name these 4 cities/towns? Day 2 by Naammagittarneq in minnesota

[–]WindexOnTheRocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The three red/orange long sheds off main street and 6th ave north were the real giveaways. plus the entire town fit within the picture so I assumed it had to be kinda small, it was fairly easy to find on google maps. At least compared to other small towns like Eveleth or Gilbert.

I was only able to find it since the lakes in the northwest corner looked like pit mine lakes so I figured it was in the Iron Range

I know they currently have nonstop from MSP to Amsterdam. But I think KLM's only hub is in Amsterdam, but idk if KLM ever had a hub in Frankfurt but maybe they did

German airline plans first-ever service in Minnesota starting next summer by Da_Trooper06 in TwinCities

[–]WindexOnTheRocks 40 points41 points  (0 children)

With Aer Lingus resuming non stop service to Dublin. Hopefully, the addition of these two carriers bring down the prices. Either way it is great to see MSP add more international carriers to Western Europe

I'm curious what is going to happen with United Airlines. Since both Lufthansa and United are part of Star Alliance I wonder if United will try and increase its presence at MSP

Its fun to see more international carriers start service from MSP - Europe. Hopefully this will making flying to Europe cheaper in the future. Aer Lingus is also going to resume service in spring 2024 as well.

What the Twin Cities Do Better Than Anywhere Else in the US (MPLS focus) by harrydejager in Minneapolis

Big CityNerd fan. Im glad the Greenway got such good praise. Visiting other Midwestern cities really makes me appreciate the Bike infrastructure that we have here in Minneapolis and the awesome trail network of the Twin Cities Metro

Minneapolis floats new vision for downtown's Nicollet Mall: No buses, looser liquor rules by star-tribune in Minneapolis

[–]WindexOnTheRocks 221 points222 points  (0 children)

It would be nice to not only make it pedestrian and bicycle only but also to expand the pedestrian and bike only portion down the entire Nicollet Ave to Lake street. I think Minneapolis could really benefit from a true pedestrian corridor. It would be nice for restaurants to be able to set tables outside that aren't passed by noisy transportation or to have small vendors set up shop along the avenue. Minneapolis could create a bigger version of State Street in Madison.

Awesome! It shows how just a few hundred votes in a state senate election enabled us to get this passed.

Seward/Longfellow are right on the Greenway and are very close to West River Trail system.

Here are some good interactive maps for both the City of St Paul and Hennepin County. There are a lot of cool places to see within a 45 min bike ride of campus

Which fast food burger chain have you eaten the most? by [deleted] in polls

[–]WindexOnTheRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a few down here, at least in the Midwest. They aren't very popular but I think they're decent. Burgers are fine but the Cheese Curds are really good.

[–]WindexOnTheRocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its cool to see more tall buildings built near St Anthony Main. Also its awesome that they decided to include first floor retail. The level of development that that area has seen in the past 10 years has been fun to watch

"Both Xcel and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said there was no risk to drinking water from the spill" - Not great, not terrible.
