Remember when @mprnews.org was most famous nationally for the raccoon that got stuck crawling up the side of the building, and people in That Other Site were monitoring her progress all night because everyone was so worried?? HOW TIMES CHANGE! Way to go Minneapolis; be tenacious like #MPRRaccoon!
YAY! Nothing better than @stribrooks.bsky.social annual felt ornaments. In a different world you can imagine the drunk raccoon & #MPRRaccoon meeting up and swapping stories.
This reminds that the #MPRraccoon was the last time we came together as a country.
A blue t-shirt with a black graphic that depicts a raccoon climbing over a ledge with the hashtag #mprraccoon and the text "MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO."
A pink t-shirt that says in black text, "...especially a European film." with the Trylon Cinema's logo.
A green shirt with a cartoon graphic of the Jolly Green Giant and Paul Bunyan jumping and high-fiving.
A light blue t-shirt with the logo for KFAI radio. It says "KFAI.org 90.3 FM TWIN CITIES."
Help me decide which shirt to wear to the state fair!
A: #mprraccoon (anyone remember that extremely local news story?)
B: @trylon.org (my favorite shirt)
C: Paul Bunyan and the Jolly Green Giant high-fiving (previous state fair purchase)
D: my lucky @kfai.org shirt (in case of games of chance)

Stephen Colbert's monologue on June 14, 2018 centered on the Raccoon story.
#OnThisDay June 12 2018: A nationwide frenzy breaks out when a raccoon climbs 23 floors up USB Plaza in downtown St. Paul. It's safely rescued 2 days later. @mprnews.org dubs the event #MPRraccoon, and the story even reaches such lofty media heights as @99pi.org and #Colbert.
makes the #MPRraccoon seem... quaint
I want a raccoon climbing a skyscraper. That was a good day at the right time.

A beige cotton tote is laid out on a brown couch. In the middle of the tote is a big red heart with a sketch of a raccoon over it in black. The text below the heart reads “#MPRRACCOON” in red on the first line and “Minnesota Public Radio” in smaller black font under it.
MN folks, do you all remember the MPR Raccoon?? I found the commemorative tote while cleaning my closet today!
#MPRRaccoon
I'll try, but I need to be reminded of #MPRRaccoon from time to time.
I was late to the party, but #mprraccoon was def the first really joyful community moment I experienced.
Today is the six year anniversary of the #MPRRaccoon scaling UBS Tower. Rock on, you furry fella. www.mprnews.org/story/2024/0...
#MPRRaccoon Day!
Blue sky's #mprraccoon moment ends fittingly.
Happy as shell for you & Jeremy!
The thing about #Minnesota #SocialMedia is if we're not talking #Weather its going to be savaging someone shitposting about #Minnesota (Ask @cingraham.bsky.social or @nytimes.com food writers #GrapeSalad), obsessed with animals #MPRRaccoon, talking about #Prince so this #Flag thing is a new thing.
HOOKAY. I need to sew another felt #mprraccoon and stage another dramatic reenactment, this time with music to which the killjoys at the @IFPI_org cannot possibly object.
Suggestions?
I'm trying to think of any other superheroes or public figures named or nicknamed for the place from which they were sighted.

Gromit remains hesitant about her new Raccoon toy. I assured her it was not the #MPRraccoon and so OK to chew
Hear us out here:
Supreme Court Justice #MPRRaccoon
She’s ready to climb to the top…of jurisprudence.
At staff meeting today: "We need people to help haul the new whiteboard from the loading dock up 6 flight of stairs. It won't fit in the elevator." "Can't we get 4 raccoons to haul it up the side of the building?" #mprraccoon
Over/Under number of #mprraccoon related t-shirts @RocktheGarden on Saturday
Looking forward to the #MPRRaccoon being on Wait Wait next week.
“The game this week is ‘Oh, I Wish I Was An Oscar Muppet In A Trash Can.’ You’re a trash panda, so we’ve invited you on to answer questions about a trash puppet...your questions are all about Oscar the Grouch.”
OK, this is adorable.

What can raccoons learn from the #MPRraccoon?
1) Climb buildings, get cat food, free trip to Shakopee
I miss #MPRraccoon.
