Scenes from new E Line BRT route that started today. It is train-like in its frequency, stations and boarding. Goes from Westgate in St Paul, west in University thru U, then south on Hennepin thru Downtown Mpls, Uptown, Lake Bde Maka Ska, Edina and Southdale.
And we’re off! The first-ever METRO E Line trips departed a little before 4:30 a.m. this morning! No fares are required to ride the E Line today until 10 p.m. thanks to our sponsor, @minneapoliscollege.bsky.social. Check the schedule and plan your trip here: www.metrotransit.org/route/eline
Snowy Westgate E Line station with a Green Line train stopped at the eastbound station. Sky is gray and cloudy but the sun is peaking thru in the background
E Line Opening Day! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!
Yes
For all of its bad, most of So Cal strip malls with grocery stores do similar right-sized parking lots. They are tight and not a ton of empty spots but meets demand most of the time
Alone turkey is calling for its lost Prospect Park flock. If you know where they are, tell me, sounds so sad. They're not the brightest.
Summer happening in late September in MN is so blissfully bug free.
Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers. One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left. Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.
No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses
Another horrible installment of gun violence in America.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.
The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.
Thanks
Mpls/StP folks - any advice on good local place to order cold food for a reception after funeral? We have elderly church ladies willing to help serve in the church basement but want to get food to them as easy as possible way. Maybe 100 people..
So. Cali makes no sense to me. Beautiful day, wonderful neighborhood park with at 30+ people in it, basketball, pickleball, volleyball, tot lot, and only saw only one person arrive on bike. If same situation in Mpls at a park, and bike rack would be full. There are more bikers than 7 yrs ago tho
Photo + tidbit: Unprecedented lines around the block to get into Allianz Field to see Lionel Messi and Inter Miami play #MNUFC on Saturday in St. Paul. This is a good strategy for fans to see pregame warmups, which should begin around 2:48 p.m.
Not too often that a #MNUFC advance story is the centerpiece of the @stribsports.startribune.com cover...

Most of them don't even know what a CNC machine is, much less the fact that there's been a shortage of operators basically since they've existed in current form.

By the way whenever we come out of a deep recession like 2008, the rich get richer
Yep. I put my new board game on Kickstarter on hold indefinitely. There's no current scenario where it's feasible due to the tariffs. As an indie author and board game developer, these tariffs are apocalyptic.
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff
Massive crowd at Hands Off rally in St. Paul, Minnesota
