Welcome to our weekly newsletter. On Fridays, we share things we've published, popular links from our daily newsletter, and a curation of stuff to do over the weekend.
We must all put trust in a developer who verified the Uptown sign is coming back after it is refurbished. This feels very much like a "we'll believe it when we see it" situation.
Monday was Indigenous Peoples' Day and we wrote about this year's celebration at Midtown Global Market and how the Indigenous Peoples' Day movement started in Minneapolis.
For this week's Meet Your Neighbor, we talked with Henry LaBounta about his affinity for keeping the lakes clean. If you know a neighbor we should profile (including yourself), email us or text us at 612-204-2887.
This week, residents attended multiple city council committee meetings to speak with the councilmembers about the encampment clearings. On Tuesday, we reported on a tense exchange between councilmembers and residents that turned into a post-meeting discussion facilitated by Councilmember Jeremiah Ellison. The committee approved funding for homelessness projects at the meeting, too.
You know what sounds really cool? Getting your hair cut among the trees of Southwest Minneapolis. You can kind of do that at Faded Barbershop Uptown. Anna Koenning brings you the details.
We shared a story about why old trees are suddenly falling down in places like Loring Park. A forest ecology expert talked to WCCO about his theory.
Laure's is having its grand opening in Linden Hills this week. Anna Koenning spoke with the owner in July about the pending move.
Prieto is temporarily closing for a refresh. It's like blowing into a Nintendo game to make it work. It's probably not like that at all. So, we will just let you know when Prieto is set to re-open.
