Pizza Slice Bike Racks at Pizza Luce

Pizza Slice Bike Racks at Pizza Luce, originally uploaded by edkohler. A nice slice touch at the Pizza Luce in Hopkins along the Midtown Greenway. This is a vast improvement over the former Bakers Square. Not just the bike racks.

Tap vs. Bottled Water Consumption by Race

Cynthia Boyd recently reported on Minnpost about a poll finding that bottled water consumption by children varies by race. In fact, the poll found that black and Hispanic parents were 3X more likely to serve their children bottled water rather than tap. The poll took a look at why this may be happening: Reasons cited [...]

Minneapolis Parking Meter Experiences

Bob Ingrassia has a post up on the Fast Horse blog about the painfully slow parking meters being installed in downtown Minneapolis. The post includes a video showing how long it takes between when money is inserted and a receipt is kicked out. Beyond the long delay, there is no feedback that the machine is [...]

My Daily Offers Spending

Just over a year ago, I started snapping up some deals on Groupon and other related services, so it seems like a good time to look back on whether these deals are working for me or not. First, I went to Mint.com and looked up my spending on daily deal services: I’ve spent $1,387 on [...]

Sgt Peterson’s Boot Camp Reviews

Below is my review of Sgt. Peterson’s Book Camp personal training. I’m not interested in spending money with a company that spams the City of Minneapolis with illegal snipe advertising. In Summer 2010: Sgt. Petersons littered South Minneapolis with illegal signs along boulevards, including East Lake Street. I sweep up Tim Peterson’s litter and leave [...]

Ashley Prasil Added to White Collar Crime Map

Sheri Delich Added to White Collar Crime Map

I’ve been slacking on updating the White Collar Crime Map I launched last August. Today, I added Sheri Delich after she pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering tied to the Cloud 9 Skyflats travesty in Minnetonka. That’s the third addition for Apple Valley, which was also home to Trevor Cook ($190 million in [...]

Econolodge, Salina, UT, TP

Jeff Skrenes of North by Northside blogging fame sent in this TP field report from Salina, UT: In honor of the Deets’ chronicling of hotel TP photos, I took note of this dynamic at my most recent hotel stay. The lip over the toilet paper obscured whether there was a prepared TP fold. How was [...]

Vikings Stadium Corporate Welfare and Klout Scores: @savethevikesorg

Over the past month, I’ve been kicking out some Tweets about the Vikings Stadium corporate welfare proposals that folks like Save the Vikings are pushing. Stuff like this: Over that time, I’ve noticed that Klout has found me more Klout worthy. For those of you not familiar with Klout, it’s a site that tries to [...]

Western Union’s Fraud Control 419 Scam Fail

A friend of mine recently had her Facebook account hacked. The hacker then started contacting her friends through Facebook Chat with a request to have money sent to her through Western Union. In a nutshell, the person made up a story that she was stuck in London with her family, had been mugged, and needed [...]
