2 feet for Christmas? You better watch out →
stuffaboutminneapolis:
A storm likely to hit on Wednesday could make this “the snowiest Christmas … in 30 years” - and be a pain for last-minute travelers.
A large winter storm with the potential to dump a foot or more of snow is grinding its way toward Minnesota, and its arrival is likely to mess up travel plans, complicate last-minute errands and ensure a very white Christmas.
“This is...

Neglect
Apologies for the inactivity and lameness that is this blog. All I do lately is reblog- and there’s hardly any of that. I’ve been swamped with homework, and other stuff… ugh.

35W
ashliej:
i took some pictures under the new 35W bridge this past tuesday. it’s really a beautiful and oddly serene place. i know according to some standards the bridge is quite simple, but i love it for that. it’s almost cistercian in its proportions and austerity.

As of 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25th the Minneapolis Electric Fetus has reopened for business! After being closed for the past week due to damages sustained in last week’s tornado, the city inspector and structural engineers have deemed us safe to open for business.

Many of today’s growers are selling at more markets than in the past because demand for fresh local food is exploding in Minnesota. In just five years, the number of farmers markets statewide has nearly tripled to about 130, including more than 50 in the metro area. At...
Cities Wind
So if you follow my personal blog, you already know that I visited the Uptown Market today. But what I didn’t mention was that while I was looking at the plants, the lady next to us’s canopy/booth thing was torn down by a sudden gust of wind. The t-shirts she was selling were scattered everywhere… I felt so bad. So, if you guys went to the market today, or if you just have any...
