@EmmettColeman Thanks!

One of the most critical stories I’ve seen. It outlines a LONG standing challenge in MN and the Twin Cities metro that has undermined our ability to thrive as a region & stay competitive. I hope this is the first pull on this thread! Well done @StribRoper startribune.com/roper-our-glut…

@JamesWardenMN Thanks!

Great @StribRoper piece here. Residents should ponder this the next time budget season rolls around. The more-localized PD, FD, etc. ppl want are often huge drivers of the very taxes they complain about. At some point, you’ve got to make a choice. startribune.com/roper-our-glut…

When reporter @StribRoper looks into the previous owners of his Minneapolis house, he uncovers an incredible history tying his city to a major racial reckoning. Listen to the story of the Robinsons in @StarTribune‘s Ghost of a Chance: apple.co/GhostofaChance

Did you know the @StarTribune recently launched its very first episodic, narratively driven podcast series, "Ghost of a Chance"? Racket's @jaymboller sat down with host @StribRoper to learn more about it: racketmn.com/racketcast-ep-…

I have been working for five years on a project that began as a mystery about my home, but ultimately revealed an important history of race in Minneapolis. Our podcast, "Ghost of a Chance," will begin publishing Monday. Here is my first-person essay: startribune.com/a-mystery-abou…

For almost five years, my husband @StribRoper has been researching the Robinson’s, a Black couple who owned our home in SW Minneapolis a century ago. Starting Jan 13, their story will be a told as a national podcast from the @StarTribune called Ghost of a Chance.

The wedding arch-turned garden gate @StribRoper and I built for our big day is featured in this month’s @Family_Handyman! They dedicated a whole page to the story of our nuptial woodworking project. And how we’ve now turned it into a permanent part of our home. 🥰

He fought this newspaper — and won. Dan Cohen, mainstay of Minneapolis politics for decades, dies at 87. startribune.com/he-fought-this…

I enjoyed digging through our archives to chronicle Dan Cohen's long and very interesting career in Minneapolis politics. Cohen famously took the Star Tribune to the U.S. Supreme Court -- and won. He died in early April. startribune.com/he-fought-this…

Check out @StribRoper talking about Curious Minnesota (and when you can actually call yourself a Minnesotan) on @MinnesotaLiveTV with @ChrisEgertTV & @MNewquistKSTP! kstp.com/special-covera…

Curious Minnesota, a reader-driven reporting project, has received more than 3,000 reader questions since launching in 2019. @StribRoper shared a few favorites.

Proof: @StribRoper and me on @tptAlmanac on the same night. There should be a term for couples pulling this off. 🤔

@markmoller Interesting! I’ll do some reading about this on Monday.

I'm very excited about a new searchable database we are launching today for the fifth anniversary of Curious Minnesota. The Curious Minnesota Collection features more than 260 stories about Minnesota history and culture, all based on reader questions. startribune.com/curious-minnes…

@markmoller Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Glad you are enjoying it.

@jason_demoe Thanks for the heads up! I will check it out.

@StribRoper guess what? The subject of your most recent Curious Minnesota, Kid Cann, is also featured on the brand new Netflix documentary "how to become a mob boss" narrated by Peter Dinklage. Cool timing
