Here is some good humor on the official Vikings blog from a Vikings fan confessing to wanting his private entertainment publicly subsidized: By Dave on Dec 29, 2011 @ bleeding purple I figured but you never know. This is great although idk if its true because they JUST elected a new head of senate or [...]
Here is one idea on how a new Vikings stadium could be funded without raising taxes and without exploiting Minnesota’s gambling addicts for the benefit of an NFL franchise owner. First, choose the right site: The three listed above are the Arden Hills proposal the Vikings have been pushing. That’s the most expensive option, partly [...]
Back on December 11th, Carly, Nordica, Kevin, and I ran Morgan and Newton Avenues in North Minneapolis from Hwy 55 to the Dowling and back. We started by heading north on Morgan: This building at 1119 Morgan Ave N was built in 1936 for the Sharei Zedeck Synagogue back when North Minneapolis had a large [...]
I mentioned yesterday that Andy Post had removed a post from Minnesota Democrats Exposed regarding Michael Brodkorb’s dismissal from the the MN Senate within This one involved Andy Post taking on DFL Rep. John Lesch: What’s the story here?
The Minneapolis Police Department’s Shots Fired map do a good job showing where shots are fired showing were shots spotter microphones are installed. Shots Fired The StarTribune misinterpreted this data like this: It’s a valuable public service to put out this public information, but the sheer number of red circles is a sad commentary on [...]
On December 18th, Carly and I toured St. Anthony West and East neighborhoods of Northeast Minneapolis from the Mississippi to Central Ave starting on 11th Ave NE at Main and heading toward the river. We parked behind Elements Pizza at Broadway & Main. 11th Ave NE runs into Graco (Worldwide Leaders in Fluid Handling). The [...]
One of the strangest posts written by Andy Post on Minnesota Democrats Exposed (and later removed) was about as far as one could get from exposing Democrats. Instead, he decided to announce that the GOP’s candidate for governor, Tom Emmer, was conceding the recount he had no chance of winning (which we later learned that [...]
@savethevikesorg’s Cory Merrifield is concerned about what impact having Sen. David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) as Majority Leader would have on Zygi Wilf’s demands for more public subsidies than any team in the history of the National Football League. The issue here is that Hann is opposed to public subsidies for the Vikings, is anti-tax, and [...]
Carly, Bill, and I chipped off the SE corner of the Lind-Bohanon Neighborhood along with a few streets in Webber-Camden and through N Mississippi River Park this morning. We started at the park and worked our way west on 49th Ave N past Bohanon Park. The temps are not cooperating for skating rinks. We passed [...]
Yet another disappeared post from Andy Post on Minnesota Democrats Exposed. This time, rather than exposing a Democrat (which is what one would expect to find on a site called Minnesota Democrats Exposed) he decided to publish (and later delete) a poll promoting Bachmann’s chances in Iowa. Perhaps it’s the irrationally exuberant speculation that Post [...]
