The team will be showing detailed concepts for the corridor. Share your views on roundabouts vs. signals, median design, and your preferred bikeway type. See you there!

@SidKhurana3607 How do these stats account for newer housing in old buildings? e.g. renovated warehouses that were not housing in 1939 but are today. Some cities have whole neighborhoods of warehouses built in 1900s that weren't housing until the 2000s (e.g. Minneapolis' North Loop)
English
Top large cities (min. 100k) by % of housing units built before 1939:
Buffalo, NY (61%)
St. Louis, MO (58%)
Providence, RI (55%)
Rochester, NY (54%)
New Bedford, MA (52%)
Cleveland, OH (49%)
Pittsburgh, PA (48%)
Cambridge, MA (47%)
Boston, MA (47%)
Berkeley, CA (46%)

@25YearsAgoLive I was a freshman in college and All Your Base was the funniest thing in the world to 18-yr old me. I don't recall the terms "meme" or "viral" being widely used at that time, even among the very-online of that time. Was there an earlier term for that phenomenon?
English
Harvard sophomores Brian Seeve and Michael Tucker have covered their dormroom walls and ceiling with the words “All your Base are Belong to US,” a phrase from a Japanese video game that was made into an internet music video that is sweeping the country as a “meme.”
Youth not only at Harvard, but at high schools and colleges across the United States, are shouting and posting “All your Base are Belong to US.”

@natehoodstp The most annoying trend in urban signage is on new mixed use buildings where the [APARTMENT NAME] sign absolutely dwarfs the signs for the retail spaces.
Sorry @seandsweeney for the callout but your projects are guilty of this.

@rhett_carlson Where would you want to see a downtown Minneapolis Apple Store located? I don’t have a specific spot but would say “within two blocks of Whole Foods”
English
One of nine (9) downtown Apple Stores in the country outside of Manhattan, and only second in the Midwest outside of Chicago. What a win for Detroit in 2025, a modern Hudson's

Welcome to Detroit, @Apple. I have no doubt this will be one of the top-performing Apple Stores in the country. Detroit, you’ve got to check it out… this one’s something special. And how about that custom logo?!

I don't care what @CityMinneapolis says, this street is 1st Avenue. Hawthorne Avenue is a lie, don't fall for it.

After the Strib published the municipal fragmentation article, a reader wrote in with this proposal. I wanted to see it visually. These would be the 3rd and 4th largest cities in the metro. @MaplehoodUnited

Cutting the MN sales tax from 6.875% to 6.8% but extending it to legal, investment, banking services - is it a tax cut or not?

@2024dion “ecdev” is a new one for me (and had no idea kck stretched that far west!)

Hey @StarTribune what happened to the ability to save / favorite articles to find them later? This feature disappeared with the rebranding & new site, but I hope you can bring it back

@JamesWardenMN Not the main point here, but “only eight MN cities have odd-year elections” caught my eye. Do you know if that is accurate?

CM Ben Goodlund’s fellow council members were just raking him across the coals Tuesday for being a faux fiscal conservative. Not in the story: His past votes would’ve added $1.3 million in additional spending. hometownsource.com/sun_sailor/new…

@alexschief 100% win rate on 1,000 Wordles is impressive. Every once in a while (apparently ≈1%) I get impatient and crash out

Sad that one of Minneapolis's so-called transportation advocacy groups is against this being done

NEW: @nbcwashington has learned 248 $500 citations have been issued by school bus stop sign cameras in DC since the program started in late April. Only 25 buses have the technology, meaning those buses see lots of violations. These buses mostly carry students with special needs
