I've been blocked and had to reroute many runs because of this. A small problem (or not, I could probably use the extra mileage 😁) compared to the many Trevor outlines, but still...I can't imagine it'd be taking so long to address if it was in a different Minneapolis neighborhood.

wrote about a truly nightmarish series of railroad crossings in northwestern minneapolis. in early 2024, one of them was blocked for *194 minutes*. that's long enough to watch the entirety of the odyssey (2026) and then spend 21 minutes googling "anne hathaway oscar odds"

Just heard that Star Tribune/MinnPost columnist Doug Grow died. He was a mensch, always encouraging to alt-weekly youngsters. Early on, moved from sports columnist to news columnist and pulled it off with the best sportswriting elan. He was an unapologetic lefty when dailies still allowed those. 1/
