When I think of houses falling victim to landslides, I think of ridiculously built houses along steep slopes in Malibu, Calfornia and not houses in the middle of Minneapolis. David de Young’s perspective, for one, has certainly changed due to to the slouching of Stevens Ave S in front of his home due to 35W [...]
The Other Mike and I hit NE Minneapolis to the North of the Quarry for a run on the 21st. We started from the strip mall behind the Target at 18th Ave & Stinson Blvd NE and headed North from there. This was Mike’s first run with me since he saved me at 26th & [...]

Or, at least that’s the impression one might have after viewing his well-documented coverage of TP and towel folding on his trip.

File this under, “you simply can’t make this stuff up.” CityPages and LikeMe.net are now sending out emails that tell users “What’s Hot” around town. As I’ve explained before, the results provided by LikeMe.net are highly biased since they’re generated by the ad sales department at CityPages. However, they’re even more biased than I previously [...]
