@blindeke has an article on #minnpost #MNastodon that’s worth a few minutes to read and think about. My small town should be thinking hard about this. https://www.minnpost.com/cityscape/2024/06/in-the-post-covid-twin-cities-its-clear-urban-planner-jane-jacobs-was-right-about-downtowns/

In a pleasant surprise, new plan for downtown St. Paul is full of good ideas; here are some of the best

“We don’t need to be distracted by the fossil fuel industry, and we don’t need to be distracted by fake carbon capture schemes, and ethanol is not the answer, either,” he said. “As long as we stay focused on these real clean technologies that both the federal government and our state government are rushing forward on, there’s a lot of hope for the future.”

The warmest December ever in Minnesota was a sign of winters to come | MinnPost

The El Niño climate pattern was a big cause of the relatively extreme warmth last month, and a warmer winter was to be expected because of it.

He lost an eye protesting Minneapolis Police; now he's running for office | MinnPost

Following George Floyd's death, Soren Stevenson lost an eye protesting Minneapolis Police. It was that injury, along with experience in housing research, that inspired his run for City Council.
