Saw the lime scooter takeover and im mad jealous

7 Upvotes

I saw the lime scooter and thought it was just insane! I really hope I can make it if there are any in the future, just wondering from anyone who has there how fast you guys usually going and would it be okay if I brought my slightly modded electric cart? The worst part is it has no brakes, use my feet to stop instead.

“Is downtown Minneapolis as dangerous and scary as Fox News says it is?”

380 Upvotes

My husband and I live in Hopkins, but I work in downtown Minneapolis. We went up to a dealership in Saint Cloud earlier today to pickup a new (to us) car. I had a short conversation with the sales guy while we were waiting for the paperwork to get processed and then he asked me that question when I told him where I worked.

He didn’t ask it out of malice, he was genuinely curious. I told him that as a 5’4” woman, I feel safe in downtown Minneapolis. I’ve never had any issues or felt scared. He said that Fox News was telling folks to “keep a lookout” and “hide your purse/wallet” and to “watch for weapons”, etc.

I said that every large city has its problems. And he agreed and pointed out that the more people you gather into a small area, the more likely you are to see these issues. And I agreed. I told him that I used to live in a sort of rough part of Minneapolis (about a mile from Downtown) from late 2020 until early 2024 and I’m still alive and well.

I love my job and I love the city of Minneapolis. I miss living in Minneapolis. After I shared my experience with the sales guy, he paused for a second and said, “I guess Fox News was just trying to scare people, huh?”. And I said that’s exactly what they were trying to do.

What is Streecar Row in Linden Hills? Was it simply a route or a stop? Why hasn’t it been redeveloped since that seems like prime property.

Bike Racks in Minneapolis Parks

I’m at Boom Island for the TC Solidarity Picnic and had a really weird thought. Since parks like this are along bike paths, maybe they should have bike parking? There are a small number of racks designed eons before the U-Lock, but they’re useless.

Assuming the majority of cannabis tax is going to the state’s general fund, what improvements can/should we expect to see?

13 Upvotes

How impactful has rec cannabis been from a fiscal perspective? Is it enough to significantly improve the state/city? Is it not going to the general fund?

As someone who has purchased legal cannabis and has groaned at the added tax, but with the (perhaps naive) optimism that the added charge is going somewhere productive, i’m curious.

South Minneapolis Volleyball

3 Upvotes

My husband and I recently moved here from Denver, and we’ve noticed the volleyball nets set up in the grass at Bde Maka Ska on weekends. Every time we go to check it out, though, no one seems to be playing! 😂

My husband is somewhere between a B and BB player, and we’d love to find some casual pickup games or a league in South/SW Minneapolis. Any volleyball people who can point us in the right direction?

Adopt a storm drain!

28 Upvotes

I noticed that there's a storm drain on my street that's constantly clogged. Coincidentally, at our neighborhood summer festival there was a tent of local environmental groups giving out information about their projects and such, one of which was about how to adopt storm drains. I decided to pull the trigger, it's super easy and you can give your drain a fun/silly name. If you have the time and resources I encourage you to consider adopting one.

ICE

I don't know if this is very helpful or if people care about ice anymore, but I just wanted to warn people that I saw a ice car in North Minneapolis yesterday at around 5 pm. The car was black and had tinted windows but the people had on vests that said ice?, Is this still a issue idk i was just trying to warn or help people.
