A buddy is in Minneapolis for a few days this week. They are working during the day. Any recommendations for things to do in the evening on a weeknight? They mentioned the Prince Garden.

See post #33 and after in the thread, most of that is pretty applicable to any day of the week
My partner and I have recently gotten into cycling around Minneapolis, we live right by the midtown Greenway and have had a lot fun exploring paths throughout that area. Anyone have any good paths they really like?
Gateway trail is great. A little further out the cannon valley trail is awesome.
Maybe the sculpture garden at the walker. Weather has been kind of shit so hope it went well enough.

Fuck greedy landlords.

Damn shame that Marla's is closing

Hmm, I've never even checked it out. I'll have to stop by before they close. It kind of sounds like a semi-retirement but yeah it sucks they are being forced out. Maybe if she's up to it she'll reopen at another location eventually.
Hi! Just wanted to report back from my trip and share the places I went to:
Art
Hair and Nails: Cute DIY gallery. The exhibition we saw there was mostly video work which isn't really my thing, but I believe they've shown some really cool work in there.
Highpoint Center for Printmaking: Non-profit organization dedicated to printmaking. My friend is currently in an amazing group show as part of a residency she did there. Highly recommend checking out their programming.
Midway Contemporary Art: Incredible non-profit organization with a high-quality exhibition space and library. Wish I had more time to look through their resources.
Minneapolis Institute of Art: CHECK OUT THE NATIVE WOMEN ARTISTS EXHIBITION. I only had a hot minute to walk through it but it's honestly one of the best things on view right now.
Soo Visual Arts Center: Small exhibition space and community center. Really liked the current exhibitions on view.
Walker Art Center: Amazing permanent collection, did not disappoint. They currently have a digital/new media exhibition up-- not my thing but still worth checking out.
Bars/Nightlife
Crooked Pint Ale House: Went here for a networking event. Only memorable thing was that they had a late happy hour.
eagleBOLTbar: Gay leather bar. Honestly just went in cause they were playing good music and had a nice outdoor patio.
Gay 90s: LGBT nightclub. As a straight woman, I can't really critique it, but I was honestly disappointed with the space considering how many people recommend it to us. It looked like a spectacle and seems to cater more to the 18+ crowd than the community. My partner who identifies as queer was upset by the number of straight people and bachelorette parties present.
Icehouse: Went here for an album release party for a local artist. Was really nice for a Tuesday night :)
Kitty Cat Club: My favorite bar this whole trip. If I had to critique it I would say it was a little too lounge-y considering they were playing great music the night I went.
Loring Bar & Restaurant: Stumbled in here after Kitty Cat to check out their goth night. I was happy they served me a drink a little after last call, lol.
moto-i: Friend's recommendation. Wasn't too crazy about their drink menu but I did enjoy the sake I selected. Regret not checking out their rooftop.
Up-Down: Cute arcade bar. My partner always tries to find a DDR machine when we travel and he was happy to find one there.
Food
Barrio: Went here for a work event. Only had some light bites here but it wasn't too bad. Lots of drink options.
Hell's Kitchen: Went here for a work event. Food wasn't terrible but not so memorable either.
In Bloom: Cute restaurant inside the Keg & Case market at St. Paul. Portions were a little too small for me but tasty nonethless.
P.S. Steak: Beautiful restaurant. Wasn't crazy about my dish (I got scallops) but I think I just picked the wrong thing. Would try again!
The Copper Hen: Yummy brunch place. Got the seasonal quiche and was very pleased.

Anybody done any fishing this year? Any camping too?
Haven't had the best of luck for this year of fishing :( The canoe definitely helps but when the fish ain't biting then they're not biting regardless if you're on a boat or on the shore.

How did I not see this before
Anyway come see my stupid Zelda play

I've camped bear head lake and hiked around Jay Cooke. Have porcupine mountain in MI planned later this summer. Been too busy with new house yard work to get much camping in.
Fishing nope haven't done any yet this year. I usually only do a couple times and just cast off the shore in state parks.
I think for my family the weather hasn't been doing too great. One week it's nice and sunny with decent winds then the next it's raining..... They're also busy and/or broke.
Nice ZOONAMI! Haven't gone on an actual hike, like, at all. I'm hoping that I get to do one soon before the weather gets way too humid and bug-infested.

Shoutout to Catrinas Cerveza Mexican Grill. They are legit delicious and their owner remembers my name every time I go despite the fact they have 3 locations.
Didn't want to detail the other two threads:
Shit is popping off near me (frogtown). I'm getting my mom to my sister's place soon. Stay safe y'all.

Hey, you're near me. I own a business with a location near Midway, but I'm not as worried as some of my staff, they have the day off tomorrow and until further notice.
I hope you're ok!
We made it to my sister's house. It's a bit on the burbs on the east side of St Paul so I think we're safe.
Hope you're doing ok too!
I'm done with Jacob Frey. Cowardly fuck. Go to the third precinct like everyone else. On maddow now still asking where are the charges. Go get the charges you cunt instead of sitting in your basement on maddow.
Good to hear.
And yeah I'm good. My place of work downtown let us out early today.
old thread warning I know, maybe we need a new OT?
I feel like I see lots of TC posters in general though just not much on here.
Anyway, broke 80 degrees today which is wild. Whole last month has been very nice.

There's quite a lot of us whenever you or somebody make a Minnesota focused thread. A bump or a consistent bump from you or I can probably help elevate it, and have more users show up in here. I usually lurk r/minnesota, minneapolis, and twincities so I get their news that I can then relay in here.
Got done helping my mom clean up the garden. Planning on planting more cucumbers this year is what she wants along with the usual thai and hmong peppers. The storm should help out for tonight.

Yeah I planted some grass seed earlier today. I remember last year there was a big snow storm early April, but then actually the rest of april was hot and I planted my whole garden before May and also painted my house.
Yeah bumps might work, you are right though there are other joints and I also just lurk them lol.
My sister's dog is staying over for the night and he's been barking ever since you can hear the lightning and thunder. I'm just waiting for that last snowstorm. It's bound to happen.
And we're back to a sunny day. Checking my weather app it seems like we're getting more rain which is the usual around this time. No need to water the plants then.
Anybody got any tips and tricks to get my mom a vaccine appointment? I've been refreshing the vaccinespotter site to book my mom an appointment but every spot is filled up. Twitter stuff is out because I don't want to sign up for a twitter account.
If she has private insurance, they may or may not contact her independently, but she should definitely contact her insurer if they don't.
If she's on Medicaid/Medicare or does not have insurance the best bet is probably the Vaccine Connector: https://vaccineconnector.mn.gov/en-US/
They should contact her very soon (within a few days) and allow her to book her appointment/s for the single/dual doses at one of the various community vaccination sites, along with a description of which sites have which vaccines if she has a preference.
A friend signed up over the weekend and got their first dose of Pfizer today so there's plenty of availability.
Thanks. I'll look into everything you said. She has her usual doctors appointment this week so they should also help her if my sister asks them about the vaccine.
Try sam's club and walmart appointment sites.
Also if she has a mychart site for whatever clinic/provider try that.
If you can drive out of the metro a bit also try thrifty white.
He's doing better than most yet he's still somehow a commie in their eyes lol. Something something masks something something taking their rights away.
Well, brightside is these rural folks can't outnumber the metro and we have an excellent GOTV game. Long as they don't have a trifecta they can't fuck all the shit up.
Good news. Mom got a vaccine appointment for tomorrow morning. My sister was able to get it for her so that's good. Once she's done then my whole family will be vaccinated.
First golf outing today. Shot a 52 on 9 holes lol, if not for a 10 shot par 5 it would have been a pretty good round. Still good for 3rd place out of 4. And within 5 of the other 2 guys.
Gotta say, these national guard posted up and humvees everywhere seems a bit excessive. Feels like an occupying force more than a response force.
It's definitely disconcerting, especially when they're in parts of Minneapolis where there are no protests whatsoever.
A student brought a gun to a school today at Plymouth Middle School. Things need to change. Just glad that no one has been reported to be injured or killed.

UPDATE: Student in custody after shots fired inside Plymouth Middle School
Plymouth Police Chief Erik Fadden stated no injuries have been reported and that the scene has been contained...
