My friend that lives in Germany is at the USA/Spain game today and she said they just showed someone on the jumbotron with A Bar of Their Own shirt on!!!

Somebody noted with respect to Dinner du Nord that Minneapolis has a giant underused Commons Park that DESPERATELY needs activation. I don’t mind closing parkways (especially if it’s not transit/biking/ped) but I’d love to see us use what we have.

This ("Pickleball on the Parkway") strikes me as an extremely weird use of riverfront infrastructure, but I'm reassured to find it's just a one-day event. Seems to have occurred last year, too?

Looking east on the River Road in Minneapolis, behind the downtown post office. As far as the eye can see, the entire street is blocked off with plastic barriers every 20 feet or so, and between the barriers, white lines have been painted to make pickleball courts. One corner of the court bears a logoish "Pickleball on the Parkway" label.

I cannot forget hearing mayoral candidate DeWayne Davis speak—“Who is invited to the table??”—about this event at a rally with Omar Fateh & Jazz Hampton last fall. And I’m still sad & angry that we failed to elect one of those three leaders with a vision that celebrates/includes/uplifts ALL of us

“Ultimately workers are seen as an afterthought by the administration,” one worker protesting Dinner du Nord says. "You can’t just shove us away if you want to have a revitalized downtown.”
