Roundup

Jesse Ventura was on Wait Wait ^[1] (NPR’s “oddly informative news quiz”) back in May.

Metronet Library Wire ^[2]. “Metronet is one of seven state-funded multitype library networks created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1979. Unlike the regional public library systems, which were also established that same year, the multitype networks serve all types of libraries—school, public, college and university and special libraries—in their respective regions. Metronet’s region is the seven county metropolitan area including the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.”

Am I crazy, or did KFAI.org ^[3] get a design refresh? I suppose both could be true.

Aaron says Electra Tune is a great place to have your car serviced ^[4].

live.eat.play.twin cities celebrates the perfect Minnesota summer night ^[5].

Johnny Northside has a marketing plan for North Minneapolis ^[6]. It’s pretty detailed, and with a counter-point/counter-counter-point in the comments. (via The Deets ^[7])

David Brauer tells us why the oxo-biodegradable bags the STrib is now delivered in are not actually that environmentally friendly ^[8].

MNspeak now requiring registration to comment. ^[9] And y’all complained when we did it.

Bob Collins loves the blimp. ^[10] I assumed it was here for that golf tournament thingy that was going on all week.

At a minimum, the Urban Renaissance Coalition blog is always good for a frothy rant on the issue of the day. More often than not, it’s a case of well-placed righteous anger that’s just a little bit lacking in coherent argument. Por ejemplo: “Minneapolis Community Engagement … Why is this so difficult” ^[11] and “Juneteenth shooting .. Where is the outrage” ^[12]

Graeme Thickins has the scoop on the Minnesota Cup business plan competition at Minnov8 ^[13]. Semifinalists were named last week.
