Saturday’s run with The Other Mike and Bill started along 46th Ave S where we headed North crossing E Lake Steet next to the West River Commons townhomes and apartments. And my neighborhood car repair service, Electra Tune: We heading Northwest from there along Dorman, which parallels W River Rd a block in. The backyards [...]
Tonight’s run started at the Seward Coop where Carly dropped me off before picking up some groceries. (Note: If you’ve never been to the Seward Coop before, it can be quite a shock to find yourself surrounded by fresh organic foods from local sources with ingredients you can pronounce. Bring a foodie friend with you [...]
The Other Mike and I took on two Longfellow Community Avenues last night: 44th and 43rd from near their Northern ends to their Southern stop at Minnehaha Park. We started by heading North on 44th, crossing Lake Street past the East Lake Dairy Queen (which is open): Two blocks later, we hit Dorman Ave, went [...]

Pair of wine bars deftly nail a fine-fitting vibe RIVERVIEW WINE BAR AND CAFE The wines: The broadest, most eclectic by-the-glass list in town, offering up to [...]
Our local left-wing radicals at Jack Pine are closing their doors. Apparently, it’s tough to be a radical and make rent: Jack Pine Community Center shutting down Twin Cities radicals and activists will lose one of their most beloved meeting grounds when the Jack Pine Community Center closes its doors this week. Citing a lack [...]
If I’ve learned one thing from InTouch magazine it’s that, “If you’re going to talk about Britney being fat, you need to accompany the story with a fat picture of Britney.” With that in mind, I found it odd that The Rake ran a story about a note posted in the bathroom at Blue Moon [...]
I’m pretty sure Video Lease is the only place in Longfellow where you can buy porn videos. That is, if you don’t count the 10,000 Internet connections.
