@caitlinmcgowan @id0ntlikeem St. Paul Cait™️ talks to the right people on the streets, folks twincities.com/2025/05/20/dar…

@id0ntlikeem Word on the streets is St. Paul brewing is opening up something there!

Personally very excited for the new place opening up in the Dark Horse space. I hear May.

@caitlinmcgowan Not sure, but the building was bought by Jim Crockarell/Madison Equities in ‘23 and appears to remain owned by them. Given the state of their other downtown buildings, I would not be surprised if I were to hear of serious problems…I’ll keep trying to nail down an answer though!!

What is going on with Wrestaurant?

@vpmattsaxe I just scoured my inbox after seeing this tweet, though, and I never received info on this show. I'm at jkaufman@pioneerpress.com and would love to stay in the loop! 2/2

@vpmattsaxe Thanks for calling this out. I agree it matters where we show up, and I wish arts media all had the resources to be everywhere! Speaking for myself, I do try to focus on new/local/indie, and direct emails are HUGE for getting things on my radar that I might otherwise miss. 1/2

I did the world premiere of a play here in the Twin Cities in MN late last year. It was performed in a popular venue in St. Paul. The Twin Cities prides itself on its arts scene & coverage. How many arts reporters & theatre writers came to the show? 0. One decided instead of our show to see RENT for the 17th time. Now the show is in London & getting critics writing rave reviews that will be quoted in future printed versions. Minnesota arts writers had a chance to be first, but totally blew it. Press releases were sent out and ignored. As was all the online advertising for the show & Facebook event page. It’s a bad look & honestly hurtful to the original production team here.

@FrederickMelo @DPEjr @jessflem I'm looking into this and will share updates when I have them! The LLC behind the restaurant here appears to be linked to the building owner.

@DPEjr The @jaredography and @jessflem cover restaurants. I just go out to eat with the family a lot. Or without them…

Who knows anything about this? #stpaul @FrederickMelo

@biketrouble This is such an interesting question!!

@AbbySliva Re: 5-4, have you listened to the Slow Burn season about Clarence Thomas? It’s very good!

caught up on the big 3 (the Michael Hobbes & peter shamshiri cinematic universe), what else do the girlies listen to?

Did you attend a state fair this summer? Geographers discuss how the Minnesota State Fair is proof that #walkable, #mixed-use urban spaces with plenty of public amenities are successful — and quite popular. twincities.com/2023/09/03/wan…

Loved this story on the lessons the the State Fair could teach us about making our city great: mix up all kinds of different uses in a neighborhood to activate the street, offer public spaces to rest, and get pedestrians away from cars! twincities.com/2023/09/03/wan…

@FrederickMelo @PioneerPress @mnstatefair @jessflem The internet may lie but my mom never does!

@jaredography @PioneerPress @mnstatefair @jessflem I’m putting my faith in your mom, @jaredography

My shift at the @PioneerPress @mnstatefair booth is done, it’s 9:15 pm, I haven’t had dinner and I need this sandwich. @jaredography help me where do I go is this place open I’m desperate plus my kids think they’re cooler than me twincities.com/2023/08/24/dai…

First day attendance at the Minnesota State Fair was 106,327. That's down from last year (121,478), way higher than 2021 (61,983). The record was set in 2019 (133,326), a year that holds six records as well as the record for most-attended year overall.

As a person who is pretty familiar with receiving veto letters from Mayor Frey, let me remind you: In his ~6 years as Mayor, Jacob Frey has vetoed 9 Council actions. Of these, all were authored by Councilmembers who represent Southsiders. 7 were authored by people of color.

Xcel Energy, which raked in $1.7 billion in profits last year, just scrapped a $9 million project that was part of its commitment to better serve Minneapolis' communities of color after George Floyd's murder sahanjournal.com/climate-enviro…

Excited to present research on boneless wings & the construction of maturity/masculinity next week at the @ASFS_org conference @BU_Tweets / @GastronomyatBU! I letterpress-printed a limited run of this poster. Let me know if you want one! $30! #FoodStudies23 #KnowingFood2023

@AbbySliva WHAT 😢
