Ok Fediverse, time for more crowd sourced recommendations! I am headed to #Minneapolis for a work trip this summer. What do I need to do/see/eat? What neighborhoods are good to check out? What are some good spots to wander?

Also heard good #urbanism things coming out of the #TwinCities - anything I should go experience as an infrastructure nerd?

If you’re cycling in the Twin Cities area tomorrow I might see you. Meeting friend[s] and joing the Tour de Luce. I can’t eat much while cycling so the panniers were worth the ride last year when I brought home enough slices to feed the whole family pizzia. They were not in pristine condition but I didn’t hear any complaints. #cycling #BikeTooter #twincities #twincitiesmetro #MNastodon

Just noticed there’s another meadery in the #TwinCities. They’ve had #mead available for about a year. It’s exciting partly because the founder is an Ethiopian immigrant woman and she’s producing Tej. That’s an Ethiopian honey wine that adds a shrub called gesho. Gesho is said to be similar to orange juice.

Now I just have to find some.

Thank you, Greater Boston and Minnesota!

Companies back away from Pride, but not in Boston

Boston's LGBTQ+ celebration bucks the trend.

Strib: "Last month, the median price of all home sales nearly breached $400,000, while the price of a new single-family house in the Twin Cities topped $540,000, according to a new report from the Minnesota Realtors. The report also said a new house typically fetches a nearly 45% premium compared to an existing one."

‘Brady Bunch’-style split-level homes enjoying a revival in Minnesota — with a twist

President Donald Trump’s trade war is compounding an expensive environment for homebuilders and buyers, driving some to reconsider the retro, but affordable, home design.

Butterflies show lead pollution is still a problem in the Twin Cities

While laws to limit pollution have been around for decades, heavy metal pollutants like lead remain a problem in many areas. Lead and other metals in the soil or air can move through urban ecosystems, impacting the health of humans, plants and animals.

Lately I’ve been engraving little wooden pieces on my glowforge - they’ll go in the center of the blue and yellow bracelets kids will make at our event.

It’s happening on June 1st in Minneapolis and is dedicated to Ukraine’s abducted children. Since the full-scale invasion, over 19,000 have been abducted. Most haven’t come back.

There’ll be craft materials, art, stories, and even a multifaith prayer. I’m an atheist, but I’ll be there too.

If you’re nearby, I’ll be happy to see you at 12PM, Sunday, June 1st
505 4th St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
(between St. Constantine & St. Michael Churches)
