So, come Jan. 2017, I will be a member of the Beebe City Council. I am very happy to take this next step into politics – even though on some level – I feel as if I have been in politics for most of my “newspaper” life. It is a thin line, I think. Anyway, as I said in an ad in this edition of the paper, I am so thankful for all of you who went out of your way to help with my campaign: putting up signs, donating, words of encouragement, and allowing me to place my signs on your property and in your yards. I really appreciate everything that was done for me and I intend to do my best for the citizens of Beebe! Also – a special thanks to Mayor Mike Robertson for putting up many of my signs! Your help was encouraging and needed! OK – on to current business. Last week I forgot to update you on my sister – and I was chastised for it by a reader. Sorry! I believe the last update was that she has some bone growth from her graft and we are hopeful that it will become full-fledged bone growth in the next few weeks before she has another check up with the arm doctor. She is getting stronger every day – walking with a cane most of the time and getting out and about, as well as working part-time at her job in No. Little Rock. She is in her next to the last week of radiation therapy- yea!!!! So, that is where we are on her condition. Thanks for your continued prayers!!!! I loved watching the Olympics – although I did not watch every minute – just checked in on the big races – Phelps, Biles, and other gymnasts. Speaking of swimming – I cannot believe the debacle that Ryan Lochte got himself into – and his friends. Moral to this story: Don’t drink! Especially don’t drink when you are at the Olympics! But a better moral would just be “don’t drink!” See all the trouble he has gotten into. And he has lost thousands – if not millions of dollars in endorsements. Maybe he could get Budweiser or someone like that. Well, everyone makes mistakes and I hope he will put in the extra work to redeem himself and get back on the right track. I hope your kids are enjoying their new school year! Go to your happy place! See you next week! | http://beebenews.com/?p=27527 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | beebenews.com/ef845beb343f796560e718fd96c02b6d4693bb038bcf2dbb1ee96e6470595977.json |

After two emails from Beebe City Attorney Scott Bles to council members – which included Alderman David Pruitt – regarding whether the council can pass ordinances without the chance that they might be called into question because of an alderman on the council that was not qualified to be on that council, Alderman David Pruitt was not in attendance. Without any announcement regarding his absence during the meeting, afterwards it was learned that the city had received a letter of resignation from Pruitt. Pruitt had pled guilty recently to a misdemeanor after voting twice in the last election. Mayor Mike Robertson said that he just had to verify that it was actually from Pruitt before he made a public announcement. The Beebe News received no letter from Alderman Pruitt. During the council meeting, three ordinances were passed by a 4-0 vote, which is a majority vote of the six council members. Alderwoman Becky Short is still ill and was not present at the meeting. Ordinance 2016-7 – which amends the personnel policy of vacation time of police officers. The officers will now accrue one and one-quarter vacation days for each month of working service. The ordinance passed 4-0. Ordinance 2016-8 – which corrects the zoning map for property located at 1107 W. DeWitt Henry Dr. in Beebe which was erroneously listed as zoned R-3 residential property in the 2006 Beebe Zoning Map and is now correctly zoned C-2 Commercial. The vote was 4-0. Ordinance 2016-9- which assigns annexed area to a Ward, Cypress Landing S/D Phase 1, to voting Ward 1. The council also heard from Mayor Robertson that the city’s contract with Waste Management will expire in Feb. of 2017. The council will accept bids for the garbage service in the near future. Alderman Matt Dugger spoke to the council about getting a Facebook page where citizens can ask questions and the aldermen can answer them. The council voiced their approval of that and the mayor said that he will talk with our computer people and get back to the council. The council approved changing the number of dogs people in the city can legally have from 3 to 4 dogs. “It seems people have two outside dogs and often have two inside dogs,” stated Mayor Robertson. “So, we want to accommodate them.” | http://beebenews.com/?p=27511 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | beebenews.com/34f3d0bf4f248f43e4c66cc1e8718a4b83e9cc6c183ae31240ec34b4ff26cbe7.json |

Eat a three-and-a-half-pound, two-foot long banh mi at Lu’s Sandwiches
You may have thought a standard banh mi was big and substantial enough, but you’d be wrong. Just follow the dudes lining up to take the big banh mi challenge at Lu’s, one of the Twin Cities best banh mi sandwich makers.
The good news is that Lu’s bread is made fresh daily, along with perky veg, house-made pates, and mayo, so stretching your limits will be as pleasurable as possible.
Finish in 25 minutes and get the sandwich for free, a T-shirt advertising your dubious distinction, and your name on the wall of fame.
Don't forget to pair your two-foot banh mi with a Coke Zero. Facebook

Get a footlong burrito or dinner plate-sized torta at El Taco Riendo
Consistently one of the best taquerias in the Twin Cities, the urge to binge at Riendo is almost logical. Watch as the culinary goddesses pile your tortilla to mind-bending heights, then wrap a footlong colossus without a single breach.
The “big torta” involves a sandwich bun designed for a crowd, but you’re not trying to hear that, are you? Cut it if you like, or just pick up the entire 12-inch-circumference affair and watch people stare in a strange fusion of envy and disdain.

Slurp a 10-pound bowl of Pho at iPho by Saigon
Wise is the man who perfects his slurping technique before attempting this feat, where the bowl has been described as an easy double for a lifeboat.
Order your choice of pho, finish all the noodles and meat within 45 minutes (they have a little mercy and don’t make you polish off the broth) and get the $15 worth of soup for free. (The fact that 10 pounds of food comes for $15 is a head-scratcher in itself, and possibly worth making a complete fool of yourself for in any case). You’ll also get a T-shirt, and if you can’t do it (and you can’t) pay an extra $5 for a shirt reading “I’m an iPho loser”.

Have a sausage party at Gasthof Zur Gemütlichkeit
If your idea of fun is ingesting a full meter of meat, you can order the equivalent of about eight brats in one unholy link. Forty inches of glorious tube meat arrives with sauerkraut for $25. The obvious accompaniment is their infamous boot of beer. The prize for one person finishing it in one sitting: a very official, Germanic, “certificate of completion.”

Get 3,000 calories for $10 on Fat Pants Friday at 6Smith
What started out looking like a bad idea indeed has turned into a fan fave at 6Smith, where every Friday the kitchen staff tries to outdo one another with the most ridiculously gluttonous dishes they can dream up in their fiendishly perverse little minds, then release it on the general public.
A few examples include a ham and cheese poutine explosion that involves fries, cheese curds, and sausage gravy flowing forth from a Pullman Loaf like lava from a volcano, then hidden under layers of ham, Swiss, bacon, pickles, and Gruyere.
Or, how about two layers of chipotle carnitas and black bean nachos, a chile relleno taco, a huevo ranchero, guacamole, nacho cheese sauce, all piled on a toasted bun with a boiled egg and one grilled asparagus spear?
And they come with killer names: the Cuban Missle, the Whoop Ass Wafflewich, the Eggomanica, and the Mon Dieu Monsieur.
The only restriction on the kitchen is that the dish must contain at least 3,000 calories.
Because this is the land of milk and honey, these leviathans are available for $10, Fridays in the bar only, while supplies last. | http://www.citypages.com/restaurants/prepare-for-the-fair-5-ways-to-get-gluttonous-right-now/391067871 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/c75751d193d2cd285747f9ac1596d401ccd6fec0072b0ea9e8c63f99b03d216e.json |

Aug 28th 9:00 pm
$7
That evokes images of costumed interpreters holding suitcases and delivering awkward monologues, but by the time I was speeding down what I later learned was likely Mounds Boulevard, huddled in the back of a beat-up minivan underneath a dirty blanket and trying my best not to invade the personal space of the financial advisor who'd been unwillingly separated from her fiancé, I realized this wasn't going to be that kind of show.
A collaboration among Bedlam Theatre, Dangerous Productions, and Live Action Set, The Big Lowdown turns Bedlam Lowertown ("and possibly a bit beyond," which in the case of my group turned out to be an understatement) into a maze of confusion. Rather than telling specific immigrants' stories, director Tyler Olsen and his team set out to evoke the general experience of arriving in a foreign place where you don't understand the language and it's sometimes impossible to grasp what's expected of you.
Equipped with identification papers (or not, some people don't receive any) , you're marched to Bedlam's basement, where you go through processes including — I may be approximating, because ambiguity is precisely the point — applying for jobs, finding a safe place to stay, and learning about the culture of "Upportornia." The pastel-clad locals speak in a dialect that veers between sheer gibberish and something approximating Spanish. They often seem impatient or even angry, letting you know that you're really inconveniencing them just by being there.
The Big Lowdown is the most recent in a string of collaborations between Dangerous Productions and Live Action Set, and it shows once again why the partnership is a good fit. Both companies are interested in adventurous, often interactive experiences; Live Action Set specializes in high-concept theatricality, while the Dangerous crew brings an earthy irreverence that keeps the proceedings from becoming too precious.
The result, in this case, is a creative and well-executed production that succeeds at creating a feeling of unease, along with a sense of resentment and — occasionally, intentionally — boredom. It's not exactly a comfortable experience, and it's not meant to be. However, the more taxing aspects of the show are leavened with flashes of humor, and moments that spark your curiosity and spur a sense of camaraderie with your randomly-selected "family members."
At the end, there's a sort of emotional apotheosis, and some explanation as to exactly what it all was about, as well as some words of advice from recent immigrants that sound much like what those who came to Minnesota via Ellis Island might have also recommended: Don't be afraid to try the weird food. Learn the language, but don't forget your own. Bring a coat. | http://www.citypages.com/arts/big-lowdown-simulates-immigrant-experiences-in-all-their-horrific-confusing-hilarious-and-boring-glory/391409851 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/3ca8ec8f4de628d0893a78dfa156ae0c81d9adcf6c57af61da834eb7210b18f1.json |

That’s where actor/singer Jane Russell was born before going on to become a Hollywood sex symbol in the ’40s and ’50s. Her surprise 1954 hit, the churchy girl-group number “Do Lord,” entered the Billboard top 30, and Russell would eventually co-headline the fair’s first major grandstand lineup in 1962 alongside Jimmie Dean and Dennis Day.
18: Number of times Alabama has performed. This year the country-rock vets will make it a cool 19 when they play Thursday; the freshly retired Garrison Keillor will perform for his 12th time Friday. Other double-digit fair stars include Willie Nelson (11) and the Oak Ridge Boys (10).
13: Comedians have headlined the grandstand stage, including Redd Foxx, Bob Newhart, Red Skelton, Steve Martin, Bob Hope, Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, Jeff Foxworthy + Bill Engvall, Dana Carvey + Dennis Miller + Kevin Nealon. Bring back standup comedy! How cool would it be to see contemporary stars like Louis C.K., Chris Rock, or Aziz Ansari at the fair? Side note: Fuck Bill Cosby.
26,000: Number of attendees The Johnny Cash Show drew over two nights in 1969. That huge turnout would help usher in the modern grandstand era, featuring larger lineups and brighter star power. The Man in Black’s popular variety show returned to the fair four times from 1970 to 1980; he arrived solo in 1991 with pal Willie Nelson.
131: Years ago the original wooden grandstand was constructed in 1885. The current grandstand was built in 1909, with major improvements made in the late ’30s and again in 2002.
0: Times Prince has performed. Safe to say the 4-H crowd wasn’t really his style. The Purple One was honored, however, with last Friday’s “Unite in Purple” tribute day.
2: Times Bob Dylan has performed. Minnesota’s other favorite son performed in 1990 and 1993. The former stop was in support of his disappointing/guest-heavy 1990 album Under the Red Sky; the latter featured guitar god opener Santana.
17,000: Capacity of the grandstand, placing it just behind Twin Cities arenas Xcel Energy Center (18,568) and Target Center (19,356).
1974: Year of the first rock band — Styx. The fair largely ignored the explosion of rock ’n’ roll in the ’60s, instead opting for country stars and cornball pop acts, and that continued into the ’70s. In fact, in 1972 — a year that saw T. Rex, Deep Purple, and the Rolling Stones find chart success — the fair dished out a cheese-a-thon that included Sonny and Cher, John Denver, Bobby Goldsboro, Neil Diamond, and Up with People. Styx, no strangers to cheese themselves, would rock the grandstand six more times through the years.
5,500: Number of LED lights comprising the grandstand marquee. You’ve always wondered, now you know!
1: Internet Cat Video Festival. The wacky sensation lured 10,000 cat lovers and even a reporter from the New York Times to the Walker Art Center’s lawn in 2012. The free fest went big-time as a ticketed grandstand event the following year, but that format would not endure. The Walker cut ties after 2014; the St. Paul Saints adopted the fest and staged it at CHS Field earlier this month.
$6: Cost to see the Beach Boys in 1988. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers surfed into the fair nine times from 1982 to 1994. This year, ticket prices ranged from $21 for the classic rock nostalgia fest Happy Together to $67 for the Dixie Chicks.
19: Years between the first hip-hop act — the Fat Boys opening for Nu Shooz in 1982 — and the second — Vanilla Ice in 1991. It would take another 11 years for the fair to realize this newfangled rap thing is gonna stick. It’s been playing catch up in recent years, with Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, and Big K.R.I.T. (2012), and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Talib Kweli, Chance the Rapper, P.O.S, and the Chalice (2013). Pop-rapper G-Eazy hit the grandstand Tuesday.
22,117: Tickets sold to see Christina Aguilera in 2000, the all-time record. Wrote the Star Tribune at the time: “Christina Aguilera was what little girls wanted, and what the Minnesota State Fair needed. The teen pop princess set a record gross of $329,540 Monday as she became the first star to sell out the grandstand since Garth Brooks in 1992.”
43: Years between Merle Haggard’s first appearance in 1972 and his second appearance in 2015. It proved to be the last opportunity for Minnesotans to see the outlaw country legend, as the Hag died this past April at 79. | http://www.citypages.com/music/minnesota-state-fair-grandstand-history-by-the-numbers/391863781 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/b0c2ab844bcdfb2058202eb462f66ae7510bbe6b1333c39d7e8c88947b289abd.json |

Art Unloaded: End of Summer Art & Supply Sale
Where it's at: Public Functionary, 1400 12th Ave. NE, Minneapolis.
What it's about: Public Functionary is cleaning out its closets to make way for fall by holding a sale of artsy supplies and accruements and inviting their artist friends to do the same. Among the items for sale are T-shirts, supplies, and discounted prints, plus treasures from talents such as Caitlin Karolczak, Kate Iverson, Michael Cina, and Michael Thomsen.
Why you should go: Everybody loves a garage sale, but Public Functionary is taking it to another level, with all the art supplies an artist could want, plus unique art finds as well. Not only that, but there'll be snacks and beverages, and music by DJ Egypt Knuckles (a.k.a. PF board member extraoridnaire, Ali Elabbady).
When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Chalk Walk Art Festival
Where it's at: Harrison Park, 1518 Fifth Ave. N., Minneapolis.
What it's about: This event gathered so much interest that they actually had to move to a new location to accommodate the number of people that plan to show up. The excitement? Chalk, of course. Lots of it. With amazing chalk artists on hand, plus opportunities for anybody that wants to join in, it'll be a day full of ephemeral art, music, performances, and food and drink.
Why you should go: Chalk drawings are special for both kids and adults. It's one of the most simple pleasures; to create drawings on the sidewalk that, yes, will be washed away in the rain, but are oh so wonderful when they are first created.
When: Noon to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Still the Night: Ute Bertog/Freeze & Thaw: Betsy Ruth Byers
Where it's at: Rosalux Gallery, 1400 Van Buren St. NE, Ste. 195, Minneapolis.
What it's about: Rosalux Gallery has got two solo shows for your viewing pleasure. In Ute Bertog's "Still the Night," the artist looks into the process of listening as she re-contextualizes chance encounters, found materials, and language through painting. Betsy Ruth Byers, meanwhile, ponders the relationship between our bodies and transient landscapes with "Freeze and Thaw," creating sensual experiences of landscape through abstract paintings.
Why you should go: While the topics that Ute Bertog and Betsy Ruth Byers explore differ, both artists use abstract painting as a way to examine complex ideas about how we exist and move through the world. Their work offers a kind of philosophical inquiry, experienced not literally, but through the lively interplay of a viewer taking in a piece of artwork.
When: There will be a public reception from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday; the exhibition runs through August 28.
Katayoun Amjadi
"Life/Identity/Existence/All or Nothing": Artists' Talk
Where it's at: 801 Washington Lofts, 801 Washington Ave. N., Minneapolis.
What it's about: The four artists featured in "Life/Identity/Existence/All of Nothing," at 801 Washington Lofts, are gathering together to have a discussion about their work. Katayoun Amjadi explores themes of identity, perception, and interconnection. Qian Lu's work takes on the self-destructive nature of relationships. Jane Powers has a fascination with the biomedical field. Japanese installation artist Mayumi Amada's work delves into intergenerational roles of women. This Sunday, they will converge for a discussion about their art and processes.
Why you should go: Get a glimpse into the artist process, as these four artists offer up their thoughts on how they create work and what they are trying to say. You'll be able to check out this ethereal show and probe the artists about how they interpret the world.
When: 2-4 p.m. Sunday. | http://www.citypages.com/arts/this-weeks-must-see-art-shows/391292011 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/e44d2d72c2b6721829587f759b3f34d2940e66c130d0f5933ad5d944a4825b35.json |

Tensions between Sioux members and construction workers slowly boil. Tomorrow, the hot potato lands on the desk of the Minneapolis City Council.
Council Member Alondra Cano's grandly-titled "Expressing Solidarity With Indigenous Resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline" asks her 12 colleagues "to stand in support of Indigenous opposition." She wants them to "call on all residents of Minneapolis to raise awareness" and support the Sioux "in any way they can."
Fellow council members won't publicly discuss the one-page document.
Hundreds of oil trains from North Dakota roll through Minneapolis monthly en route to faraway refineries. The National Transportation Safety Board has repeatedly said that if an oil train was to explode or derail in a major metro area like the Twin Cities, the results would be "catastrophic."
The Dakota Access Pipeline would largely replace the need of these rail cars.
Cano did not respond to repeated messages left at her office yesterday.
Dan McConnell of the Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council is one of the four authors of a letter delivered to council members last week. The letter writers oppose the resolution for a number of reasons, including safeguarding the city from potential oil train emergencies.
"None of us are unsympathetic to the issue of this pipeline on indigenous lands," he tells City Pages. "There are hard decisions in life sometimes, and sometimes you must pick a side.
"On this one it's what best for the people of Minneapolis, the people the officials were elected to represent. Why they're being asked to support an issue that's hundreds of miles away over the residents here is beyond me." | http://www.citypages.com/news/council-member-alondra-cano-puts-colleagues-in-awkward-position-over-supporting-sioux/391613341 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/4150be94c5d9b7a257bff2ceaeccb4ef29421cb4f3e1d88985e0ebbc0e507915.json |

The current line from prohibitionists—people who want sex work to remain illegal—is that all women who sell sex are victims and all men who buy sex are monsters. But talk to actual sex workers and you hear about considerate, regular clients who are kind, respectful, and sometimes personally helpful in unexpected ways.
(A sex worker friend had a regular client who was a dentist; he did some expensive dental work for my uninsured friend—and he did it for free, not for trade.) You also hear about clients who are threatening or violent—and how laws against sex work make it impossible for them to go to the police, making them more vulnerable to violence, exploitation, and abuse, not less.
There is a large and growing sex workers’ rights movement, NAJ, which Emily Bazelon wrote about in a terrific cover story for the New York Times Magazine (“Should Prostitution Be a Crime?” May 5, 2016). Bazelon spoke with scores of sex workers active in the growing and increasingly effective decriminalization movement. Amnesty International recently called for the full decriminalization of sex work, joining Human Rights Watch, the World Health Organization, and other large, mainstream health and human rights groups.
But there’s something missing from the movement to decriminalize sex work: clients like you, NAJ.
Maggie McNeill, a sex worker, activist, and writer, wrote a blistering piece on her blog (“The Honest Courtesan”) about a recent undercover police operation in Seattle. Scores of men seeking to hire sex workers—the men ranged from surgeons to bus drivers to journalists—were arrested and subjected to ritualized public humiliation designed to discourage other men from paying for sex.
“These crusades do nothing but hurt the most vulnerable individuals on both sides of the transaction,” McNeill wrote. “The only way to stop this [is for] all of you clients out there get off of your duffs and fight. Regular clients outnumber full-time whores by at least 60 to 1; gentlemen, I suggest you rethink your current silence, unless you want to be the next one with your name and picture splashed across newspapers, TV screens and websites.”
The legal risks and social stigma attached to buying sex doubtless leave some clients feeling like they can’t speak up and join the fight, and the much-touted “Nordic Model” is upping the legal stakes for buyers of sex. (The Nordic Model makes buying sex illegal, not selling it. In theory, only clients are supposed to suffer, but in practice, the women are punished, too. Bazelon unpacks the harms of the Nordic Model in her story—please go read it.) But sex workers today, like gays and lesbians not too long ago, are coming out in ever-greater numbers to fight for their rights in the face of potentially dire legal and social consequences.
Clients need to join the fight—or perhaps I should say clients need to rejoin the fight.
In The Origins of Sex: A History of the First Sexual Revolution, which I read while I was away on vacation, author Faramerz Dabhoiwala writes about “Societies of Virtue” formed all over England in the late 17th century. Adulterers, fornicators, and Sabbath-breakers were persecuted by these groups, NAJ, but their campaigns against prostitutes were particularly vicious and indiscriminate; women were thrown in jail or publicly whipped for the crime of having a “lewd” appearance. The persecution of streetwalkers, brothel owners, and women guilty of “[walking] quietly about the street” went on for decades.
Then a beautiful thing happened.
“In the spring of 1711, a drive against ‘loose women and their male followers’ in Covent Garden was foiled when ‘the constables were dreadfully maimed, and one mortally wounded, by ruffians aided by 40 soldiers of the guards, who entered into a combination to protect the women,’” writes Dabhoiwala. “On another occasion in the East End, a crowd of over a thousand seamen mobbed the local magistrates and forcibly released a group of convicted prostitutes being sent to a house of correction.”
Male followers of loose women, soldiers of the guard, mobs of seamen—not altruists, but likely clients of the women they fought to defend. And thanks to their efforts and the efforts of 18th-century sex workers who lawyered up, marched into court, and sued the pants off Society of Virtue members, by the middle of the 18th century, women could walk the streets without being arrested or harassed—even women known to be prostitutes.
I’m not suggesting that today’s clients form mobs and attack prohibitionists, cops, prosecutors, and their enablers in the media. But clients can and should be out there speaking up in defense of sex workers and themselves. Sex workers are speaking up and fighting back—on Twitter and other social-media platforms, sometimes anonymously, but increasingly under their own names—and they’re staring down the stigma, the shame, and the law on their own. It’s time for their clients to join them in the fight.
I’m a 26-year-old gay male, and I like to explore my feminine side by wearing female clothes. I have a boyfriend who likes to do the same thing, but he doesn’t have the courage to tell his parents that he’s gay and explores his feminine side by wearing female clothes. I want to adopt early school-age boys and teach them that they can explore their feminine side by wearing female clothes. My question has two parts. First, in regard to my boyfriend, how can I encourage him to tell his parents he’s gay and wants to explore his feminine side by wearing female clothes? Second, in regard to adopting early school-age boys, how do I teach an early school-age boy that it’s okay for them to explore their feminine side by wearing female clothes and also teach them that they don’t have to be gay at the same time?
Dressing A Future Together
Wear whatever you like, DAFT, but please don’t adopt any children—boys or otherwise, early school-age or newborn, not now, probably not ever. Because a father who pushes his son into a dress is just as abusive and unfit as one who forbids his son to wear a dress. You two don’t need kids, DAFT, you need a therapist who can help your boyfriend with his issues (the closet, not wearing female clothes) and help you with yours (your extremely odd and potentially damaging ideas about parenting, not wearing female clothes).
Before I sign off: a big thank you to the Dan Savages who filled in for me while I was on vacation—Dan Savage, Orlando-based sportswriter; Dan Savage, London-based theatrical marketing executive; and Dan Savage, Brooklyn-based designer. You guys did a great job!
And here’s something clients of sex workers can do without going public: The Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) is running a pilot program to help incarcerated sex workers. Send a book to an imprisoned sex worker, become a pen pal, or make a donation by going to SWOPbehindbars.org and clicking on “10 Ways to Help Incarcerated Sex Workers.” Non-clients are welcome to help, too!

Days before the show, the metal gods unleashed a throttling new single and announced their first solo studio album, Hardwired...to Self-Destruct, in eight years. We sat down with Metallica bassist and Suicidal Tendencies alum Robert Trujillo hours ahead of the gig to discuss the new record, hanging in Minnesota, and not being recognized on airplanes.
City Pages: When did you guys get in?
Robert Trujillo: Last night.
CP So, have you been holing up here sound-checking?
RT: No, because there was a show here last night so we didn't. Usually we would. But today, [we're] basically just gonna jump up there and wing it. We're just excited. With the new song out there and the album being close to finished, it feels like the machine has been reactivated. Today feels like the official start of that.
CP: Your new single “Hardwired” is a really thrashy tune. Is that indicative of the new album's direction?
RT: I think so. “Hardwired” is the perfect statement to lead into this body of music. I think this album sounds crushing. Sound-wise, it's got a lot of firepower. I'm excited about the songs, but I'm also excited about the sound quality of the record. Greg Fidelman did a great job with the production.
It's really fun music, but it's also challenging. It can be a bit complex, but there's strong melodies. I feel we've matured in the right way as a band. We've had a lot of creative challenges over the years and as we've gotten older, we've been going for it, you know?
CP: When Death Magnetic came out, a lot of people praised it as a return to Metallica's roots.
RT: Definitely.
CP: The new single seems to follow that theme. Is that conscious?
RT: With [producer] Rick Rubin it was great that he seemed to bring the awareness that [drummer] Lars [Ulrich] and [frontman] James [Hetfield] should reconnect with the thrash roots. It was important for Rick to get Metallica back into that style and energy.
You pull from that and do something fresh with it. I feel it brought this band back, on a creative level, to a very special place. Now you get into this new body of music, we've grown from all the shows we've done, but also learning the Black Album top to bottom. Master of Puppets we did the same thing. We celebrated the 20-year anniversary, played the album in its entirety. Doing that rather than stepping away from the past, but embracing the past, and digging into it is something that helped us get to where we are now. Death Magnetic was a launchpad for what's happening.
I'm excited about this, but I'm also excited about the future. We have a lot more riffs to share with the world. Hopefully it doesn't take eight years [laughs].
CP: You mentioned earlier there's still some finishing work with the album?
RT: At this stage in the game you're still tightening things up. The other day our producer Greg and I wanted to try something different with a bass track. But everyone thought we were finished. So we sneak in the studio, Lars walks in sees me with the bass, Greg at the controls and is like, “Are you effing kidding me!” I just smiled. But that for me was the official “OK, it's finished. Let's celebrate.” I had a glass of wine on my flight back into Burbank. Some guy offered me his [drink] ticket.
So, I'm getting on the plane, “Hardwired” had just been featured all over the nation. I walk to the back and sit down next to this guy, who offered me the free drink coupon. I had a Metallica jacket on and he said “Oh, I heard they released their new album today.” I said “No, I think it was just one song.” He goes “Really? Did you hear it?” I'm like “Yeah, it's good.”
I look down, he's got his headset on watching on his iPhone, the video. He doesn't know I'm in the band. He's just going “Oh man, this is really good!” I go “Yeah, it is huh?” That was a classic moment.
CP: How did the process with the new record compare to Death Magnetic?
RT: It's been a similar process. You have an arsenal of riffs and we jam on them. Hundreds and hundreds of riffs over years. I'm always there to support Lars and James, whether it's my ideas or not.
CP: With the new stadium, a lot of people are wondering how it's going to be as a concert venue. I know you haven't had a chance to sound-check or anything…
RT: No. We'll see. It's a mystery. I don't know that we're thinking too much what are the acoustics are going to be like. We're just happy that 50,000 people are showing up to support us and heavy music in general.
Minneapolis has always been a great city for music. We were reminiscing about being back here in the early days. Lars was saying the first gig we played in Minneapolis was at First Avenue. The first gig I played in Minneapolis was at First Avenue as well. I have a lot of memories with that particular venue.
CP: Any specific ones that stick out?
RT: There was always a party and I adopted the local people. I had some really good friends here for a while who I went snowboarding with back in the Suicidal days. I went up to Spirit Mountain, to Giants Ridge and up north around the Duluth area, so I spent a little bit of time here.
I also remember doing a show with Ozzy [Osbourne], we combined Ozzfest with the Warped Tour [at Somerset Amphitheater]. There's good memories floating down the [Apple] River with beers.
CP: From stadium to stadium, do you notice much difference in sound quality?
RT: Yeah. Some stadiums – like the Pontiac Dome in Detroit – horrible, horrible sound. We just played AT&T Park where the San Francisco Giants play and it sounded killer. So, you never know what you're going to get. I know that I dig the Vikings, though. There's a lot of history between the Vikings and the L.A. Rams, the team that I grew up with.
And you have two linebackers from my school, UCLA, Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr. So, go Vikings! | http://www.citypages.com/music/metallicas-robert-trujillo-talks-thrashy-comeback-going-up-north-apple-river-beers/391437181 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/e62324ef99fdd2a21f271650b66f1986a97ee841909c9bf79a1754d31b5b29f2.json |

This was the signal that Johnson's parents could come pick him up.
This was a couple decades ago, before cell phones were everywhere. Back when payphones existed. Johnson, now a communications staffer at Cargill, hasn't used one in the last 15 years, and has hardly seen one in the last 10 years.
He and his wife sometimes point it out when they notice one of the shells, with the phone long-since removed, left on the street like the hollow skeleton of some long-extinct beast.
This running curiosity led Johnson to do a double-take last weekend. While eating lunch with his family at Fish Lake in suburban Plymouth, he looked at a nearby structure and spotted the real thing: An honest-to-God payphone, with an ancient Sprint logo to boot.
He approached the phone with no small amount of bafflement, stopping to take a picture before picking up its receiver. The moment of truth: There was a dial tone.
"I was taken aback," Johnson says. "Here's an abandoned old phone, in a weirdly high-profile spot. And it's a working phone."
The building the phone's attached to is where park visitors enter to buy ice cream, or use a public restroom. Johnson figures most people passing, especially the younger ones, don't even notice it.
"I've been to that park a couple times, and never noticed it," Johnson says. "It's probably like a tree. You don't even really see it."
Johnson did a little research after leaving the park, and discovered that Sprint hasn't had that logo since 2005, when it bought Nextel, dating the phone's design back at least a dozen years. He noticed the phone's prominent display of how to dial long distance, a concept he figures is probably lost on most of the kids swimming in the nearby lake.
Besides, even if they wanted to call someone, how many would remember the number off the top of their head?
"I've got a 7-week-old," Johnson says, "and I've been thinking about all the stuff that will be doubly baffling to him when he gets older. Like, Instagram and Snapchat will be for old people. Kids now don’t even know [what it means] to hang up or dial a phone. We still use those terms, 'hang up,' and 'dial,' but now they're metaphors."
So, too, is this payphone. For the durability of good craftsmanship, construction that can withstand a dozen years of Minnesota winters. For how an object's spread can seem so ubiquitous -- once there were 2 million payphones in America; now there might be one-tenth that -- and fundamental to a way of life, then slip off into oblivion.
And for how the sight of one such lost object can suddenly transport you back in time, to youth, moments spent standing around, bullshitting your friends, waiting for your parents to come give you a ride home. | http://www.citypages.com/news/vintage-working-payphone-discovered-in-minnesota/391154471 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/a20da82862f3c92e5cb81968773f96dd6bed8b84885904adbf764dca81773988.json |

Case in point:
Evidently, the very good independent Japanese restaurant Obento-Ya recently stopped serving sushi, according to the chef, Kjersten Winters, because it was a "huge stress." (He recently lost his wife and partner in the business, Mie Winters, to cancer).
Meanwhile, a Yelp-er bestowed them with a single star because they were "seriously bummed" that the restaurant discontinued selling sushi, even though Obento-Ya was their favorte.
Winters fired back: "One star becasue you are sad? Grow up! And cry on someone else's page."
Natually, commenters are going wild with discussion about whether or not its appropriate for a restaruant to fire back. What do you think?

Official word came from management that going forward they would promise “ a simple menu with familiar foods, at a fair price, using sustainably sourced ingredients, in a dining environment that is warm and conducive to conversation.”
While Seward Creamery Cafe 1.0 seemed to offer those things by day, at night it turned into a progressive, somewhat experimental restaurant that just wasn’t what the neighborhood and co-op members wanted. Not right there, right then.
As of September 12, the cafe will re-open with Katie Nielson, formerly of Union, Third Bird, and Sea Change, as its chef. Nielson's menu is still being developed, but previews include traditional chilaquiles every morning, a carrot-focused salad with a ginger vinaigrette, and house-made vanilla soft serve with rotating fruit sorbet flavors.
Other planned features include an all-day menu with specials at night, an ice cream case, repainted walls with warmer colors, and more information about producers, among other elements gleaned from talking sessions the co-op held with members.
Watch for a complete menu on their website around the beginning of September.

But other than that, the focus is on the Don Henleys of the world. Even 89.3 the Current’s Music-on-a-Stick — once featuring a who’s who of local musicians — has all but eschewed local talent in favor of headliners like Weezer and the Avett Brothers.
As it stands, the only stage with a commitment to Minnesota-made music at the fair is the Schell's Stage at Schilling Amphitheater, where you can catch acts the likes of Sawtooth Brothers, Jillian Rae, Reina del Cid, Sarah Morris, Mark Olson, and Sonny Knight and the Lakers. Hats off to the West End Market for keeping it niche in a time of bloated mass appeal.
Maolu — “Deepest Corner” (feat. DomOnEarth)
There might not be a better aesthetic matchup in the Twin Cities right now than Maolu and DomOnEarth. The two baritone emcees have a similar (but complementary) storyteller style, and their deliberate but offbeat deliveries are nearly magnetic over a beat. In the video for “Deepest Corner” off My Thoughts Exactly, the two showcase their chemistry.
We’ve seen the 19-year-old Maolu (and video director Vern) on Local Frames before, but DomOnEarth, who features on the chorus as well as the more powerful verse, is a recent returnee to the Minnesota scene. He’s spent the last eight years in Dallas, though he’s a Gopher State guy at his roots. Now that Dom is resettled in the Twin Cities, he’s got a forthcoming project, Couch Surfer, and he and Maolu will be collaborating often.
They open for Lil’ Durk at River's Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud on September 9.
Qaanaaq — “Skeleton”
You’ll remember Gus Watkins from his serial genre exploration GenreBeast, the third iteration of which we featured on Local Frames. Now, Watkins is ready to close out the experiment with his fourth (and final) turn as Qaanaaq, an angsty, raw-as-hell prog-rock band.
The project’s album, Separate/Weak, comes out on September 2, and the new video for single “Skeleton” has just reached YouTube. Rather than guess at some contrived meaning, we’ll let Watkins explain how the Jessie Roelofs-directed drama should be interpreted.
“The video shares the experience of watching a loved one battle something that is often out of their control,” Watkins wrote in an email. “It's about the kind of thing that continually falls apart and needs to be re-worked until it finally cannot be repaired any more and is better off just being unraveled.”
The Hell and the Quiet — “Gotta Run”
Angst doesn’t always manifest in prepubescence. It’s not all hair dye and Drop D. Angst can be the most adult dilemma you ever experience; thus the Hell and the Quiet’s latest single “Gotta Run.”
The outlaw country quartet’s latest video shows how malaise can give way to an outright rebellion, and the four tell the story in lazy, contemplative guitar licks and measured drum parts. Their nervousness is dusty and cathartic, not greasy and embarrassing.
From the EP Why You Gotta Say These Songs Ain't Cool?, “Gotta Run” is far from the Hell and the Quiet’s only solemn stomp. See also standouts “Fever to Spread” and “Coming Home,” which inhabit the same Western anxiety.
Cram — “Mascot” (feat. Chester Watson and Gabriella Jacobs)
Cram is a strange animal, man.
Part analog nightmare, part synthetic drug trip, part early-MTV slow jams, the squad of Janitar Jones, Tommy Bathwater, Juan Lobsternostrils, and Alfred Ziplock don’t ask to be taken seriously on the surface level. Songs like “Eat Weed” off CRAM Vol. 2 only play into the hysteria of their image, but their music can sometimes be somber and reflective. Like those quiet moments between turnups.
New song “Mascot,” which features vocals from Chester Watson and Gabriella Jacobs, has no goofy pretense or over-the-top bars. It’s a lucid melody that jousts against nearly exhausted existential verses. Directed by Alan De Leon Taverna, the video for the song is a pop art hallucination that plays into the disorientation in the song’s lyrics.
Kid Automatic — “Realest One”
Woozy club rap can be exhausting and prototypical, but something about Kid Automatic overrides all the cynicism. The Minneapolis rapper’s newest song, “Realest One,” is busy with hi-hats and mechanical snares and slathered with Young Thug-style Auto-Tune, but it’s an undeniable jam for the up-and-comer.
With professional quality visuals provided by 42 Lights Media, Kid Automatic shows that he belongs right beside the industry rap heavyweights heard on Go95.3, even if he’s yet to really explode in the Twin Cities scene. | http://www.citypages.com/music/maolu-and-domonearth-showcase-brooding-chemistry-in-this-weeks-top-5-mn-music-videos/391606861 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/d4d716bc8283ffcd8aad55b29075b2fdffc65084ed8d1539499f1459d74ffa18.json |

Even if you don’t often listen to hardcore punk, their new album -- to be released on cassette at Wednesday’s show at Reverie Cafe + Bar -- sticks out. Like talking to someone in another language, Body Trauma captures that feeling of not understanding the words specifically, but the meaning somehow blasts across the cultural void.
We chatted with Naïve Sense ahead of their record-release party about hardcore's place in the Twin Cities music scene, dismissing haters, and how the trans experience informed Body Trauma.
City Pages: In a city full of singer-songwriters and hip-hop, what draws you to this type of punk and hardcore?
Natalie Grace Krueger: For me hardcore has offered a specific emotional release. I've always been into other genres of music that this city has had to offer. But a lot of things are pretty contrived.
Yeah, we have a hip-hop scene, but it's one that is dominated by white dudes. Yeah, we have a singer-songwriter scene, but I'm tired of hearing sad bastard love songs. Where are the politically confrontational lyrics like in the '60s? Just because you have an acoustic guitar doesn't mean you have to write feel or not so feel good love tunes. Yeah, there are exceptions. But mostly I find white cis people with a middle class upbringing singing songs relevant to that experience. It's just not me.
While I can attest that the hardcore scene is dominated by lackluster bro dudes who really want to "Make Hardcore Great Again," this scene at least offers me an outlet to be abrasive, authentic, and challenging. There is more to life than being in or out of a relationship.
Thomas Rehbein: Abrasive music has always appealed to me and that element is certainly to be found with hip-hop and solo artists, as well. I subscribe more to the notion that punk is an attitude or worldview vs. a look/sound.
So, in that regard, someone like Francis Brown or Bricks & Bones is punk. But I enjoy the fast, loud, and furious aesthetic of hardcore punk. It's a good frame for addressing things that anger us and to let off some steam. Plus, it's fun!
Noah Paster: The energy and sense of unity at the shows. I have a huge amount of respect for the folks doing singer-songwriter and hip hop -- Andrew Broder of Fog is one of my all-time favorites -- but punk and hardcore will always be my jam.
Jeffrey Truckenmiller: Punk and hardcore are my roots. Reversal of Man, the Locust, Combat Wounded Veteran, and Converge were/are some of my favorite punk/hardcore bands growing up and I still find it very exciting. Hip-hop and singer songwriter stuff can be pretty cool but I just never personally gravitated toward it as much as I do punk and hardcore.
CP: In the year that you have been together, what's the most impactful thing you have learned being in this band?
TR: It's okay to let go of toxic people.
NGK: This is my first band. I didn't know what to expect. But I definitely think I learned that anything and everything is possible. I've had the opportunity to do so much cool shit, and we've barely left [the Twin Cities]. We've barely scratched the surface of what is possible to do when you and some of your best friends get together and make music.
JT: That within a year of being in this band, so much cool shit can happen in your life. Like for instance we get to play the Song of Zarathustra reunion show in October. Shit's wild. I'll never take it for granted. I hope I never do.
CP: I saw Tommy recently posted about people accusing this band being a gimmick in being that it is led by someone who is transgender. What do you say to people like that? Does it bother you to be defined as a band that has a transgender member? How do you want to defined as artists?
TR: Someone told me directly the band is just a gimmick. It was pretty dismissive and snarky.
If you're a promoter, definitely ask the bands you're hosting how they would like to be represented before slapping "[blank]-fronted band" on a flyer because different bands will have various and valid reasons for using or avoiding certain descriptors.
For us, we play a genre of music that has been predominantly full of tough guys, so it felt necessary to challenge that idea, create visibility, and also let people who identify as queer/trans/non-binary there's a show where they'll have some representation onstage and where the environment is more inclusive of people who do not fit the usual hardcore mold.
People have described us simply as a "hardcore band" or whatever and I'm not going to correct them. In some ways, labels can create barriers. On the flip side, certain descriptors also help to remove them, you know?
NGK: So is my entire life a gimmick? In a scene that is dominated by the same type of cis, het, white men, is it a gimmick to let people who are normally on the fringes of the rest of the world know that there is someone who is just like them on stage? Is it a gimmick to build a safe space for your community?
I might be an artist, but I bring every part of my identity to the stage just as everyone else does. I bring my passions, anger, hopes, anxiety, and every other emotion to my art. It doesn't bother me to be defined as a transgender musician because that's who I am. What bothers me is when people let out their own bigotry and accuse my friends of using me as a gimmick.
So what if we label ourselves as a trans-fronted band? This has brought people to our shows and given them a safe space. Fuck the haters.
NP: Thankfully this hasn't come up with any friend or family member. I'm guessing each member will have a different take but if people view Naive Sense as a "gimmick"? ahh ... well ... piss off then? I'd like to think we live in a progressive enough city and the scene we're apart of is mostly progressive. It doesn't bother me to be known for having a member of the band who is apart of the LGBTQ community.
On the other hand: I played in a group for four years and our singer was gay. It never really came up with the press and always thought that was cool. Folks treated us like we were a band that had cool music. I'd hope the public would define Naive Sense as a band that's good and makes unique art. However, I hope that the public knows we really embrace LGBTQ, people of color, and women at our shows, and hope that tough guy wankensteins of yesteryear hardcore stay away.
CP: Tell me about the album name Body Trauma.
TR: The entire concept is Natalie's. Musically, it's a nod to some of our powerviolence and grind influences. The whole thing is like seven minutes long.
NGK: I like to play around with words. My notebooks are filled with gibberish; a lot of words that I put together and think sound cool. When writing for this release, I had been processing a lot of emotions relating to being a trans woman. Most of my thoughts at the time drifted toward the trauma one experiences when your body and life don't fit into what is perceived as "normal."
That's what Body Trauma is about. It's not to tell people what I think about big social issues or the hardcore and punk scenes. It's about processing the trauma of being a trans woman in a world dominated by white patriarchal colonialism.
Body Trauma by Näive Sense
CP: Where did the song "Femme As Fuck" stem from? How do you decide on lyrics without it straying into too preachy or redundant?
NGK: Having shorts songs help keep things from being too redundant [laughs]. With the song “Femme As Fuck,” I just wanted to write something as a trans femme that made me feel empowered.
Too often I feel like I'm being treated as a fetish or that any time I stand up for myself I get treated as a "crazy bitch" -- FYI, that's dude talk for having threatened a man's perceived superiority over a femme. There was and always will be zero intention to preach when I write lyrics. It's about my experiences. But sometimes my intention is to just tell people to fuck off.
CP: Why did you decide to release on cassette?
NP: Vinyl is spendy and tapes are the bomb.
JT: Cassette's are affordable to do. Hopefully we can do vinyl some day but unfortunately we don't have the bloody wherewithal at this very point in time!
TR: There's a demand for cassettes from the audience and they are relatively inexpensive to make. CDs have fallen out of favor and we do not have the funds for vinyl. Plus, we can listen to it in the van's tape player!
CP: If people have not seen you perform live before, what can they expect to see at the album-release show?
JT: Angry. Noisy. Fast. Loud.
NP: Come out for Mikey's last show. I only joined this group a few months ago and will miss the hell out of him. One of the last times you'll see us as a five-piece! It'll be loud, fast, and sweaty.
TR: It's Mikey's last show with us, so we'll be throwing him a going away party before the move to Seattle. Probably lotsa hugs. Maybe some cake! And tapes for sure! | http://www.citypages.com/music/naive-senses-body-trauma-loudly-confronts-patriarchy-from-trans-perspective/391112391 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/3fa6f5c40d64b33e7ed8b5205c66b169ff6b4e1c3768f1ea5df71bb57cde2679.json |

That's because 25-time Grammy winner Stevie Wonder was spotted dining at the northeast Minneapolis institution. … | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citypages.com%2Fmusic%2Fstevie-wonder-dined-at-jax-cafe-last-night%2F391418822.json | http://stmedia.stimg.co/STEVVVVVVVVVVVie.jpg?w=1200&h=630 | en | null | Stevie Wonder dined at Jax Cafe last night | null | null | www.citypages.com | Here's what Jax owner Bill Kozlak Jr. shared with City Pages:
Stevie dined for a "wonderful four hours" with a small group of friends.
He's a "super nice gentleman" who posed for photos with guests.
He might have had chicken.
When asked whether Stevie said anything about appearing at the "Unite in Purple" Prince tribute Friday at the Minnesota State Fair, Kozlak said he "didn’t tip [his] hat."
Here's another shot of Wonder dining at Jax, this one featuring, from left to right, Kozlak Jr. with children Billy, Bella, Ava:
There's nothing to suggest Stevie Wonder will hit the state fair tonight, but wouldn't it be lovely?
"I use Stevie Wonder as an inspiration, whom I look up to a great deal, just for the way that he crafted music and his connection to the spirit," Prince told Larry King in 1999.
The love was mutual.
"[Prince] was a great musician -- he loved music, he loved playing his instrument. And, you know, the times that we did jam together were amazing," Wonder told CNN days after Prince's death in April. One such jam took place inside the White House last year.
We asked fair officials if a Wonder appearance is possible.
“[Stevie Wonder appearing in the Twin Cities] is news to us; we have absolutely no word," spokesperson Danielle Dullinger tells City Pages. "Not saying it couldn't happen.”
Let the rumor mill churn!
This much we know: In March, the Billboard Music Awards hosted Wonder and Madonna for a controversial live Prince tribute. Wonder ended his 27-year Twin Cities concert drought last year, and our reviewer said the Target Center show was, "the work of a man who demands a lot from his music, and who encourages us to do likewise." | http://www.citypages.com/music/stevie-wonder-dined-at-jax-cafe-last-night/391418822 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/ee9e101a753afdc321df500bdd0dbc6283f407834fcd4e93af0a94e9caecc63e.json |

Is 2nd Avenue shut down compeltely? Or just slowed down a lot?
Washington Avenue? A nightmare? Sure, but, is it worse than 7th Street? Is there still a 7th Street? Or did they just break the pavement up and sell it to the Chinese?
Most days, it feels that if Mary Tyler Moore walked down some downtown street and tossed her hat in the air, the foreground would show a few dozen construction workers and 300 cars that have been stopped at a red light for two weeks.
If you're looking for a lighthearted version of this story, with the desperate driver at least laughing at herself, we invite you to read a text message one Twin Cities resident recently submitted to Reddit. Explaining that the missive had been sent by a coworker's mother, who had come to collect said coworker at the end of his shift, the short narrative is a whale of a local driving tale.
It takes all of a minute to read, but there's at least a half hour of confusion and pain behind those words. Notice how mom thinks to censor herself, but still needs to convey to her child just how little she thinks of this particular parking ramp.
Surely, some of this is her fault, perhaps the experience of someone more used to simple, familiar suburban pathways. But any seasoned summertime Minneapolis driver can sympathize with the idea of "the downtown Mpls warzone where you TRULY cannot get there from here."
Also, note 1) her relationship with Siri, 2) the "or was that guy trying to fix something" aside, and 3) the crushing final line. This is the best, most heartbreaking short story about life in Minneapolis you will read this year. | http://www.citypages.com/news/we-are-all-this-miserable-texting-mom-during-minneapolis-construction-season/391631941 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/21eedce0e1de88ac70900cd3fa2becee3774fbb2ce5a90959fe1e39a616c49f1.json |

Robiner was appointed by Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota's rather Republican former governor.
Minneapolis City Attorney Susan Segal has decided to appeal Robiner's ruling, and is seeking an accelerated review of the case by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
"With the request for accelerated review," reads Segal's statement from earlier this week, "we are hopeful that we can obtain a definitive ruling… in a timely fashion for this fall's election.
"We remain of the strong conviction," Segal continued, "that the petition to place a minimum wage ordinance on the ballot for inclusion in the City's Charter is in conflict with Minnesota Statutes and the Minneapolis Charter which contains no provision for such initiatives."
Appealing the county judge's decision means Segal can win, politically, even if she loses legally. Mitchell Hamline law professor David Larson views her move through both prisms.
"When you're talking about things that are political in nature, sometimes the pressure… that, 'We want you to go ahead, and take the shot,' can dictate matters," Larson says. "I have to believe she heard people saying that this is that important to us that if there's any possibility [to overturn it], you must go ahead and pursue it."
By pursuing the appeal, he adds, Segal gives herself political cover with the city council, which, not coincidentally, is responsible for her reappointment to that job.
The high court, like Robiner, skews more centrist and righty than liberal, according to Larson: "We don't have a slam-dunk liberal court."
One way for the court to side with the city would be to spot something Robiner missed, or erroneously interpreted, in the facts presented on appeal, an unlikely outcome, Larson says.The city's appeal could rest in the state high court's willingness to deem the minimum wage issue an overreach of local government.
"The real question is whether local governments can act when there's a state minimum wage," Larson says. "Did local governments have the authority, the ability to act when the state has already decided? Can the city then say, well, we think it should be higher when the state has already spoken?"
At the legislative level, House Republicans have tried in recent years to pass a law prohibiting local governments from enacting their own minimum wage or employment benefits standards.
With no law in place, Larson calls it an "unsettled question."
The city's got an uphill battle ahead of it. Only a small percentage of appeals cases are even accepted by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and of those, the justices side with the lower court in the vast majority of cases. But at least now they've got a chance.

“Fasika is so established,” she says, “And we got nothing but positive feedback when we asked around about opening our restaurant here.”
Ghebre’s is a family affair, where Genet, her two sisters, and their extended family will run the shop. This is their first American restaurant, though they have run diners and restaurants in Eritrea and Ethiopia in the past. The food is based on their mother’s cooking.
There will be beef platters and chicken and spinach platters, the latter being a family speciality; lamb tibs and beef tibs; and hot and spicy chicken stew with a hard boiled egg. There will be vegetable combos and potatoes both spicy and non-spicy, and lots and lots of other things.
She also makes mention that their family is into cooking a little lighter than what you’ve come to expect from Ethiopian cooking, using more vegetable oils than butters. But if you want the full butter, just ask, and they can do that, too.
They’ve got a beer and wine license, and in about a week or so, they’ll be adding traditional East African breakfasts.
Among them (time to learn some terminology): Kitcha, an unleavened wheat bread that’s cooked on one side, then the other, kind of like a pancake; fit-fit, shredded flat bread with spiced clarified butter and the hot sauce berebere served with fresh japapenos; as well as some dishes influenced by Egypt and the middle east including ful, fava beans cooked with cumin, parsley, garlic, onion, lemon juice, and chilis; and fata, a torn bread salad served with yogurt and hot sauce.
How's that for turning breakfast on its head?
Ghebre’s Restaurant is now open, 11a.m to midnight daily.
Breakfast coming soon

"Inside I saw these big banners that said be your own boss and make big money," Ewald tells City Pages. "The job was hauling loads from the store and delivering them. It sounded like the kind of thing I was looking for."
A Menards' manager told Ewald he would need to get a commercial driver's license and purchase his own semi-truck to become an independent hauler. As luck would have it, Menards had trucks for sale, from anywhere from $34,000 to $60,000. Ewald passed, and bought an International brand truck for $23,000 online.
Ewald started in early 2014. On paper he was classified as a contract hauler, one of 1,200 of the same ilk, who truck deliveries out of the company's nearly 300 stores in 14 states. In reality, it was more like Ewald was employed as Menards' behind-the-wheel tool.
The company told him where he had to be and when. After making the two-hour drive to the store from his home to pick up loads, Ewald was required to make the deliveries in the order Menards had laid them out, even if the route they picked took inefficient detours, costing him hundreds of dollars extra in out-of-pocket expenses.
The 54-year-old Ewald takes issue with a company skirting labor laws by misclassifying employees as contract workers because of pure greed.
The company installed a GPS in his cab. Not to help him. To hound him.
Says Ewald, "Quite a bit of the time they'll be calling and asking you, 'The GPS says you're not moving. Why?' I'd be like, 'I was taking a shit, that's why.'"
Menards paid per delivery. The longer the haul, the bigger the payday. It paid well. There were some thousand dollar days. Bonuses were part of the deal.
It was an especially sweet deal for Menards. While it demanded that Ewald be available to deliver at a moment's notice, he says there were plenty of days when the itinerary included only a single delivery. The seasonal work often meant lots of days in a row without work.
Ewald shouldered all costs: gas, insurance, health care, licensing fees, truck payment. Yet Menards classified him as an independent contractor, which absolved it from paying payroll taxes, health insurance, and other benefits.
One day in early 2015, Ewald lay in his truck in the Menards' parking lot. He was supposed to be picking up his deliveries. But paralyzing pain in his belly had him in the fetal position.
A manager approached the cab.
What's up with the slacking? Ewald was asked.
"I was pretty much told to get up and get to work," the now-54-year-old remembers.
Another manager sensing the severity of the situation intervened. She drove Ewald to a nearby hospital. Six months later, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
Menards fired Ewald almost a year ago. It happened after he told the company he needed more work and couldn't just sit around waiting for a call.
But Menards hasn't heard the last of him. Ewald's blowing the whistle, and his tune has echoed all the way up to the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board. Last week, Ewald testified before the NLRB as a representative of the 1,200 similarly situated Menards truckers.
According to Seth Goldstein of the Office & Professional Employees International Union, which took Ewald's case to regulators, federal officials are investigating allegations that Menards circumvents employment law by misclassifying its drivers as independent haulers.
"We strongly believe Menards needs to treat these workers as employees, with all the benefits that employees have," Goldstein says. "Here you have a company that tracks these workers, disciplines them, has a bonus system, and they're trying to get away on the cheap by calling them independent contractors. You can't have both ways."
It's not the first time Menards has run afoul of American labor law. It's not even the first time this year: In April, Menards settled with the NLRB after its brutal union-busting tactics -- a 60 percent pay cut for any manager whose store formed a union, to name one such measure -- were brought to light.
Menards' officials at its headquarters in Eau Claire declined comment for this story. | http://www.citypages.com/news/trucker-says-menards-saves-big-money-for-menards-by-skirting-employment-laws/391425541 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/1ab9eb4c2bb0a1b41bb298698170693ee439c6fe586552989262fb042eb7b93c.json |

The Revolution
First Avenue, Thursday 9.1, Friday 9.2 & Saturday 9.3
Days after Prince’s death, his golden-era backing band released a foreshadowing statement: “We have so much to share with the world and we have so much love to give back to our Purple Family. The Revolution is in mourning but we stand united in love. You will see us together again.” From 1979 to 1986, Wendy Melvoin, Brown Mark, Bobby Z., Lisa Coleman, and Matt Fink played as the Revolution, the backing band that supported Prince on his groundbreaking 1984 album, Purple Rain. In April, after spending a week together mourning their bandleader’s sudden death at 57, the five funk-rockers decided to reunite for three instantly sold-out shows at First Avenue. The Revolution, which also consisted of 10 other musicians other than this classic, original lineup, backed Prince on Purple Rain, 1985’s Around the World in a Day, and 1986’s Parade. They supported the Purple One during countless live shows throughout the ’80s. The Grammy Award winners had previously reunited in 2014, though Prince was not a part of the show. Melvoin and Coleman most recently were seen performing alongside Prince at the 2006 Brit Awards. 18+. Sold out. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8388. -- Jerard Fagerberg

Sleigh Bells
Fine Line Music Cafe, Saturday 9.3
Treats, the neck-snapping debut album by Brooklyn-based duo Sleigh Bells, powered the band to indie fame at a rapid pace back in 2010. That seemed like an inevitable result given the sheer force and physicality of the music; it was hard not to have some kind of reaction to highlights like “Rill Rill,” “Crown on the Ground,” and “Infinity Guitars.” Right away, singer Alexis Krauss and songwriter/producer Derek Miller had a strikingly original sound, a noisy combo of Krauss’ pop melodies, Miller’s blazing guitar riffs, and clattering hip-hop-influenced drum rhythms. Both 2012’s Reign of Terror and 2013’s Bitter Rivals introduced effective modifications to Treats’ basic sound: The former had a more distinct ’80s metal influence, while the latter found a more confident Krauss coming into her own as a singer and writer of her own melodies. After that prolific three-year run, Krauss and Miller are finally set to drop their fourth full-length, Jessica Rabbit, on November 11. Tiny Deaths open. 18+. $20-$35. 9 p.m. 318 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8100. -- Michael Madden

Ms. Lauryn Hill
First Avenue, Sunday 9.4
“Me without a mic is like a beat without a snare,” Ms. Lauryn Hill rapped during her first verse on her breakthrough album with the Fugees, 1996’s The Score. Twenty years later, that statement has come to mean new things: She’s touring and recording less often, but with more purpose when she does. Her most recent studio album remains 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, one of the best and most enduring hip-hop albums of the ’90s, what with its organic combination of technically stunning rapping, lush R&B production, and overall soulfulness. With the closest thing to a proper follow-up being her divisive MTV Unplugged album from 2002, Hill has preferred to perform live and release new songs at her own pace. Following her completion of a 2013 prison sentence for tax evasion, she’s been especially visible. Right after the 2014 killing of Michael Brown, she released the affecting Rodgers & Hammerstein flip “Black Rage (sketch),” and last year she contributed six tracks to the tribute album Nina Revisited... A Tribute to Nina Simone. Hill’s current MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! Concert Series will bring several guest musicians to the First Ave stage. 18+. $77. 7 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8388. -- Michael Madden

Bonnie Raitt & Richard Thompson Trio
Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, Monday 9.5
It’d be tough to find a more spectacular way to close out this year’s Grandstand than the equally brilliant Bonnie Raitt and Richard Thompson. The duo’s near century of combined experience is distinguished by rare wisdom, impeccable taste, and unrelenting spirit. Raitt is essentially an honorary Minnesotan; her longstanding ties include recording her 1971 debut here with Dave Ray and Willie and the Bees. On this year’s Dig In Deep she does, mining her sublime blend of blues, R&B, pop, gospel, and rock for memorable originals and covers that probe heartache, regret, sadness, and restlessness. Her marvelous voice gains fresh layers of nuance with each passing year. Raitt’s trademark slide guitar shines too, especially on INXS’s lusty “Need You Tonight,” a rollicking cover of Los Lobos’ “Shakin’ Shakin’ Shakes,” and her own Stonesian political rocker, “The Comin’ Round Is Going Through.” Former Fairport Conventioneer Thompson is simply among the premier songwriters and guitarists on the planet. His deep, eclectic catalog includes a rogue’s gallery of characters, abundant acerbic wit, and lacerating, Celtic-tinged electric guitar of the first order. $36-$46. 7:30 p.m. 1265 Snelling Ave. N., Falcon Heights; 651-288-4427. -- Rick Mason

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins
State Theatre, Tuesday 9.6
Former child actress Jenny Lewis cut her musical teeth as lead singer of the respected indie-rock band Rilo Kiley. But she made an even bigger splash with her 2006 debut solo album, Rabbit Fur Coat, a popular and critical hit that inspired comparisons to Emmylou Harris. With lyrics designed for deep contemplation, RFC took an Americana tilt that mixed pop with country, bluegrass, and gospel, thanks in no small part to Kentucky-bred twins Chandra and Leigh Watson. The three-part harmonies of Lewis and the Watsons kick off the album in the a cappella track “Run Devil Run.” Another highlight is a cover of the Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care,” featuring Conor Oberst, Ben Gibbard, M. Ward, and James Valentine. To mark Rabbit Fur’s 10th anniversary and new re-issue, Lewis and the Watsons have reunited to perform the album in its entirety. Second sets have featured tunes from RK and Lewis’ other two solo albums. Incidentally, Lewis’ other current project is the new-wavy trio Nice As Fuck, with Au Revoir Simone’s Erika Forster and the Like’s Tennessee Thomas. $35. 7:30 p.m. 805 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-339-7007. -- Rick Mason | http://www.citypages.com/music/the-weeks-best-concerts-aug-31-sept-6/391867151 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/2781a71996b9be27ccd6536746acb46c805d50697e4e67a4e761c8c2539ab116.json |

Wilkes, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer last fall, died while receiving hospice care at his parents’ house in Kettle River, Minnesota. The Barnum native was 54.
Though known mostly for his exploits with the Replacements, which are detailed extensively in this year’s Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements, Wilkes became a legend in his own right after over 30 years of involvement with the Twin Cities scene.
“He was another young, upstart, know-it-all kid, but it turned out he really did know what he was doing,” Steve McClellan, First Ave’s former GM, told The Star Tribune. “He became one of those bigger-than-life rock ’n’ roll characters who wasn’t actually in a band but was still a big a part of that world.”
After six years doing the job locally, Wilkes scored a gig managing the 1991 Nevermind tour for Nirvana -- a hectic time chronicled in Nirvana: The Biography. The rest of his client list reads like a CliffsNotes guide to influential bands of the last 30 years. He also manned gigs for Prince, Beastie Boys, Britney Spears, Alice in Chains, Babes in Toyland, Joe Strummer, Soul Asylum, the B-52’s, the Go-Go’s, and many others.
Wilkes was also First Ave’s in-house engineer for decades (up until December of last year) and taught at McNally College of Music in St. Paul. His name can now be found in a star on the exterior of First Ave alongside many of the bands he worked with.
Stay tuned for potential music tributes honoring Wilkes.

Smart cars. That's what. The St. Paul Police Department reports two instances of car2go rental cars getting pushed over in the Mac-Groveland area of St. Paul, according to the Pioneer Press.
The two tipped cars were found about a half-mile apart, one Saturday night, and one Sunday morning. In the first case, on St. Clair Avenue, a witness saw four guys, roughly "18-to-20 years old" -- who would've guessed? --working to get one of these turned over.
That tipping happened just before midnight. It was some five hours later that another car was vandalized nearby. Did our first crew take a five-hour break, maybe with a few cold beverages, before hitting another car? Or had they inspired a copycat crew?
St. Paul Police Department spokesman Sgt. Mike Ernster tells the Pioneer Press they're being investigated as related events. Anyone with more information on either incident should call the police at 651-266-5416.
Possible motive: As of late last year, car2go's presence in St. Paul has been slashed to just 15 percent of the city. Maybe these fellows are just upset about the disappearance of such a forward-thinking mode of transportation. Or maybe they're assholes.
Either way, be on the lookout for a roving band of young men with nothing to lose, everything to prove, and enough combined strength to push over a tiny little car. | http://www.citypages.com/news/very-cool-guys-of-average-strength-are-tipping-car2go-cars-in-st-paul/391652791 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/d1ada5a44cb1931894138db91846ee11be603940142bfd97ff28b04a93e14e10.json |

He lives its present. | null | null | www.citypages.com | “I’ve got ‘hamburger elbow,’” he says, rubbing the back of his left arm. He points at a journalist’s notebook. “Write it down.”
Thornton works the 5 p.m.–1:30 a.m. shift four nights a week at a north Minneapolis Wendy’s. Placing his hands out in front of him like a mime, Thornton imagines a wide, sizzling griddle, and estimates he’ll make five or six hundred burgers during a “rush hour.”
One starts the moment he clocks in, 5 o’clock. Another hits at 8. Then, around 11, “the whole city” arrives, a hungry, booze-breathed line forming out into the parking lot.
Thornton used to chow down on Wendy’s when he lived in Chicago, and the burger he liked sold for a buck.
“Now that same burger is $2.39,” he says, shaking his head, chuckling.
But Thornton’s salary hasn’t increased at the same rate. After hiring him at $7.50 an hour in 2009, Wendy’s waited a couple years before kicking in another 50 cents. A year later his rate ticked up to $8.15. His last couple raises — to $9 an hour in 2015, and $9.50 at the start of last month — have been mandatory under the state’s minimum wage law.
It’s still too low for Thornton, who’s backing the election referendum for a $15 minimum in the city of Minneapolis. The city council balked at the idea, and city attorney Susan Segal blocked it from the ballot. Last week, a county judge ruled in favor of labor organizers, saying the wage hike question should be on the ballot in November. The city has appealed, taking the referendum fight to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
That’s all playing out at some remove from Thornton’s modest living room in north Minneapolis. He says he couldn’t afford his small apartment were it not for his fiancée, Mary, who works as a personal care attendant.
Thornton, 60, grew up on the south side of Chicago, son of an electrician, a union man. Mom stayed home raising eight kids. Some nights she skipped meals.
He’s been working all his life, starting with a paper route -— “7.50 a week,” good for “a lot of candy” — as a boy. After high school, he worked at a hospital, earning $3.65 an hour in food service. After a dozen years, the hospital closed in 1984. Thornton bounced around, working as a mailman, and later for the city parks department. He got divorced. Ran into credit card debt. Declared bankruptcy.
Around 2009, Thornton determined the south side of Chicago had “a lot of people and no jobs,” so he moved to Minneapolis, staying with a brother who lived here. Charles got a job at Wendy’s, and has been grilling ever since, watching supervisors count stacks of cash as he takes out the garbage at the end of each shift.
“I understand that it’s a business,” Thornton says.
He’s wrong. Wendy’s isn’t just a business. It’s a globally advertised corporate stock. Each quarter, Wendy’s CEO Todd Penegor holds a conference call to take questions from investment hawks at places like Goldman Sachs. Back in May, Penegor explained a temporary dip in demand, saying of Wendy’s consumers, “There has been little or no wage growth.”
No shit, Todd. Charles could’ve told you that.
That’s not true for everyone: Emil Brolick, the outgoing Wendy’s CEO whose place Penegor took this spring, made a total of $8.3 million in 2015, up 13 percent from the year before. The vast majority of Brolick’s haul came through stock options and bonuses awarded by a “compensation committee,” which praised Brolick for Wendy’s 15 percent profit margin.
What’s Thornton’s operating margin? Every couple weeks, he stands in line to collect a $525 check. After rent, groceries, car and renter’s insurance, electric, child support for his three kids, minutes on his cell phone, copayments on blood pressure medication, the odd gift for his grandkids... what’s left?
Charles crooks his thumb to his fingers, forming a circle; lifts it up, stares out through it. Zero. Thornton’s margin is as thin as the square patties he turns by the hundred.
If you vote in Minneapolis, consider yourself a member of his compensation committee.
A couple weeks ago, Thornton got a letter from Wendy’s reminding him he was approaching the company’s mandatory retirement age of 65.
That’s the same year, 2020, the $15 minimum would take effect if the ballot measure passes. With a personal retirement nest egg of $1,100, he figures he’ll punch the clock at least that long.
Charles hopes to retire with “a little bit of health” left, maybe enjoy a few restful years. He hasn’t had a vacation since moving to Minneapolis.
And he knows his role as a spokesman for workers could jeopardize his job at Wendy’s. It’s worth it.
Complain about low wages, Thornton says, and people will tell you “something’s better than nothing.” It is, but just barely.
“I tell my kids, ‘You’ve gotta have more than just a little something,’” Thornton says. “If you settle for a little something, then a little something’s all you’ll have.”

From time to time in the course of her church investigation, the Minnesota Public Radio reporter would come across something about Jacob Wetterling, the 11-year-old boy missing since his kidnapping in 1989.
Baran started keeping a Wetterling file. The file grew.
It took years before she could come up for air from the clergy abuse investigation. When she did, Baran decided she wanted to retell Wetterling's story. But how?
By fall of 2015, there was a sudden surge of interest in Wetterling's case, with a new person of interest in investigator's sights. At the same time, a revolution in storytelling was sweeping the airwaves. Or the wireless internet, anyway.
Last November, Baran and the newly minted team of American Public Media Reports, began looking into Wetterling's 27-year-old case. Their reporting was driven by questions that still haunted the central Minnesotans who lived in the tragedy's shadow.
Why hadn't anyone found Jacob? Or his abductor? What went wrong?
The story behind those answers will be told in "In The Dark," a weekly, serialized podcast launching on September 13. For an audio experience, Baran says the podcast format might be the only way to tell a story like Wetterling's, with its expanding web of characters stretched out over a quarter-century.
"The story has so many interesting characters, and plots, and twists and turns, that it's hard for me to imagine this story being done responsibly another way," she says.
Baran adds: "With radio, there are a lot of reminders you have to do -- 'this is the Wetterling case' -- and you have to do that every time. With a podcast, once you get started, you just go for it and tell the story."
APM Reports has posted a short preview of the series, (already available for subscription in iTunes) with Baran promising that the team's reporting unearthed facts that surprised even her.
Baran spoke with City Pages about the series, and offered insight into their work, and a few details about their findings. Very few. For the rest, you'll just have to listen.
City Pages: A lot of people probably know what happened to Jacob Wetterling, or they know what's available to them. What about learning about him, as a person? Do you know now, better, who he was?
Madeleine Baran: I think so, yes. That was a very important part for me, to make sure that I understood, and conveyed that. I think you'll hear that in the podcast. One of the things that happens when a case gets the kind of news coverage that the Wetterling case has gotten for so long is, people start thinking about 'the Wetterling case,' 'the Wetterling investigation.'
It's easy to lose sight of the fact that this is someone's child. This is a person. And what was he like when he was a kid? I mean, he was just 11 when he was kidnapped. So, we'll definitely talk about that.
CP: There was a good deal of national fallout from the Wetterling abduction. Can you describe that, some of what changed, because of this case?
Baran: The Wetterling case led directly to a federal law. It's actually even named after Jacob, the Jacob Wetterling Act. That law was passed in 1994, as part of the federal crime bill. It requires all states to mantain a registry of sex offenders. So, that moment in time can be traced back to this case in Minnesota. That decision, when you look at where we're at with that in this country -- there are hundreds of thousands of people on registries. Not just from the Jacob Wetterling Act, but the momentum to do something about sex offenders continued to build. And we ended up with the situation we have now, with hundreds of thousands of people on registries.
CP: How much access did you get to people involved? Did you find that people still want to discuss this?
Baran: I talked to a lot of people for this story, including people who I don't think have been talked to before, or not talked to in very much depth. I've been working on this for about nine months. One of the benefits of working on something so long is you're able to reach out to a lot more people to talk to, than you would be able to on a shorter piece.
CP: This was a big commitment for a story that, a lot of people would have thought, has already been told. Why did you think it needed to be reexamined in this way?
Baran: It's a very consequential case. It's had a huge impact on, of course, the lives of the Wetterling family, their friends, and their community, St. Joseph, and all of Minnesota. But it's also affected federal law, and led to the expansion of federal law on these sex offender registries. For me, when I heard about the Wetterling case, I assumed certain things about it. When I started looking into it, and I realized some of the basic facts of what happened, it made me very curious as to why this case wouldn't have been solved.
When I was reporting on the Archdiocese, in my spare time, I started reporting on this case. I was intrigued to find that this had happened on a dead end road, that this happened in a town of 3,000 people, that the police got there very quickly. I wondered, why, when you look at all those things together, hasn't this case been solved? I didn't live in Minnesota at the time Jacob went missing, so I don't have the experience a lot of Minnesotans have of the case. So that's why I was interested.
Once I was done with [the Archdiocese story], I took a look at this, and decided it was worth looking into. The more I found out, it was clear this was worth spending a significant amount of time on. It's important to hold law enforcement accountable when they can't solve a case. It's important to understand why a case hasn't been solved, whether there were things that could've been done differently.
As an investigative reporter, my interest is in looking at decisions made by people in powerful institutions and examing them... and holding them accountable for what they did do -- and certainly, they did do a lot in this case -- but also, what they didn't do.
CP: Any true crime podcast is going to get compared to "Serial." Are there things they did that you wanted to emulate, or are there things that you wanted to learn from and not do?
Baran: I definitely really enjoyed listening to "Serial," and I think what "Serial" has done is show that there is this big audience of people that's willing to spend some serious time listening to in-depth reporting. I think that's been great for everbody who's doing serious storytelling in audio. I think one thing we're doing that's different than "Serial" is, we're not setting out to solve the case. We're looking at why it hasn't been solved. So, our frame of reference going into it is significantly different, and I think people will hear that, when they listen.
CP: That kind of storytelling has different production, in the way it uses sound, music, silence, even, that makes it different from a radio story. How do those things add to the storytelling experience?
Baran: That's one of the great things about the podcast format. You have a lot more ability to take longer with stories, and experiment, and have stories of different lengths. Samara Freemark is an amazing producer, and [associate producer] Natalie Jablonksi has been fantastic as well. Getting to work with them to create something that's really sound-rich, that doesn't sound like a news story, has been a big part of this.
What we're really doing is entering into this other world, this world of the abduction, the world of the area there, at the time, what happened in the investigation there, what it was like to be an investigator on the case. All of that. It helps to have so many voices, and additional sound, and really draw people in.
CP: To people outside this state, this story will probably have a lot of appeal because they might just barely remember the name Jacob Wetterling. For people who live in Minnesota and think, "I know that story," what's an argument you would make for why they should tune in for this version?
Baran: I can't give anything specific to you, but I can assure you that there are many, many new things in this podcast, that I don't think most people will have hear about before. They were certainly quite surprising to me when I found them out, and changed how I looked at the entire case. I would just urge people to listen. It is an investigation that took all kinds of turns into very interesting areas, areas that offer substantially new information from what people already know.
This isn't a rehashing of the information that's already out there, that people in Minnesota know. This is something very different from that. And I can't get into it, but I just have to hope that people listen, and believe us, when we say that. | http://www.citypages.com/news/in-the-dark-the-story-of-jacob-wetterling-is-your-next-true-crime-podcast-obsession/391710761 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/599ffe35c9b161a42a9a18e2bc96dc9bc2f53db9c8aa006365716aa54fc8de5c.json |

] | 2016-08-29T12:46:29 | null | null | The MTV VMAs haven’t been all that relevant since before social media, even though MTV and Big Daddy Viacom have tried really, really, really hard… | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citypages.com%2Fmusic%2Fvmas-2016-5-things-we-loved-5-things-we-hated%2F391569151.json | http://stmedia.stimg.co/1472440861_2016+MTV+Video+Music+Awards+-+Show.JPG?w=1200&h=630 | en | null | VMAs 2016: 5 things we loved, 5 things we hated | null | null | www.citypages.com | Now that we have full access to our favorite celebs 24/7, it’s not a momentous occasion when they walk a red carpet or do something crazy; it’s just another night on Twitter. It’s been a few years since this writer has sat down to watch an entire VMAs instead of just scrolling through what they call “awards show Twitter,” but with the promise of a Britney Spears performance, I made a date with my bestie, a bottle of champagne, and some Ro-Tel dip.
As an avid fan of ‘00s pop culture and pop music in general (seriously, I looped Ariana’s album countless times when it came out), I think I am more than qualified to get my judgey pants on and tell you what I loved and hated about this installment of MTV’s biggest, brightest awards show.
LOVED
1. The resurgence of ‘00s MTV VMA royalty, like Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, and even Fat Joe. Please continue to pander to me, MTV. Even the set (yes, I know it was Madison Square Garden) looked a lot like the old Celebrity Deathmatch. Oh, the golden age of MTV.
2. FOUR Rihanna performances. No one cares if Rihanna sings live or even sings at all with her backing track because Rihanna is just so cool. Rihanna does not give one single fuck. She has so much star power that even if she’s just pacing back and forth on the stage you can’t stop looking at her. A Video Vanguard award well-deserved, IMO.
3. Kanye speeches. We should all being our day with a rousing speech from Kanye West. And the video for “Fade,” which Ye premiered at the show, was gym motivation for months to come.
4. Girl power. Beyoncé brought the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Mike Brown along with her to the show; Serena Williams presented; the #FinalFive were in attendance; Rihanna performed “Rude Boy” and “Work” with a squad of talented, beautiful dancers … it was straight girl power the whole time.
5. Lemonade. Um … duh? The Internet was rumbling with rumors of a Bey performance, and she, true to form, did not disappoint. Chills all the way ‘round. How is Bey real tho?
HATED
1. Lack of host. Does this mean we’re old? There wasn’t a defined host of this year’s event, and we kiiiiiiinda wished for a traditional monologue of bad jokes. Key and Peele stepped in as fake “influencer” commentators, which would have been better as a skit and not a running gag. DJ Khaled made a gallant effort (as did our own Lizzo, who should’ve been a VJ), but we kinda missed the old school host days. If anything, it moves the show along. Couldn’t Pitbull have done it?
2. The “Who?” dilemma. Watching the 2016 VMAs had us feeling like our parents watching the Grammys, where you’d see a familiar face like (X) and then be like, “Wait, but who is Lukas Graham?” For someone of my advanced age (28), there weren’t a ton of recognizable faces in the audience. No Justin Timberlake, no Biebs … not even Katy Perry could take time out of her busy paddleboarding schedule to show up? Our Lord and Saviors Kimye were in attendance, but their nemesis Taylor Swift was absent. And where was Zayn? C’mon, MTV, gimme more than Fifth Harmony.
3. Placing Britney near the end. I’m a Britney super fan (I guess we go by “stan” now?) and I was seriously hoping she would open the show. Alas, we had to wait. It wasn’t the most amazing performance in the world, but still. Britney. Twitter was quick to put Britney down, which is unfair, and to be honest it was unfair of producers to place her after Beyoncé. Britney Spears made and kept MTV relevant throughout the ‘00s, and it was cruel to stick her where they did. It was also strange to focus so much of the show on G-Eazy, but that’s a thinkpiece in itself.
4. Do they present awards? No, seriously, are there even awards given out at this event? From 8 to 10 p.m., they gave out approximately three awards. Did it used to be like this? Maybe it’s just been awhile since I sat through an entire VMAs. It definitely didn’t used to be a two-and-a-half hour concert.
5. No Taylor. Taylor Swift didn’t submit anything to the VMAs, so she and her squad weren’t in attendance this year, and can ya blame her? This is a bad thing because of all the Kim/Kanye/Taylor/Calvin/Katy drama. It could have been seriously soapy. Tay’s been laying very, very low since the dawn of Kim’s “gotcha” Snaps, and who knows what she’ll do to regain her crown as the Queen of Nice. We didn’t miss her awkward dancing this time around, though. | http://www.citypages.com/music/vmas-2016-5-things-we-loved-5-things-we-hated/391569151 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/c90bcec6928fa5a877190b3fe38ba1b3d24cc1cb4c7f155cc5a3c5b12c4a3894.json |

] | 2016-08-26T12:59:02 | null | null | Upton 43 opened in the dead of winter. The interior seemed like an extension of the outdoors, all ice blue, sharp angles, bleached wood, austerity. | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citypages.com%2Frestaurants%2Freviews%2Fupton-43-could-be-our-new-culinary-royalty-if-were-ready-to-warm-up-to-it%2F391072581.json | http://stmedia.stimg.co/CTYP_Food_20160818_Upton43_KatieHolm_076.jpg?w=1200&h=630 | en | null | Upton 43 could be our new culinary royalty, if we’re ready to warm up to it | null | null | www.citypages.com | This Linden Hills kitchen isn’t like other restaurants; it isn’t designed for comfort, or to welcome you like a warm bosom. Instead, it seems to exist to challenge, to shake us out of any comfort zone we thought we wanted, and to offer something else entirely. Something that won’t easily be lost in the shuffle of restaurants opening seemingly every week.
How you feel about Upton 43 will probably depend on how you feel about comfort. When I went with a foodie friend who lives within walking distance of the restaurant, she hadn’t been in yet. “I’ve been stalking the menu, but I don’t know what all that stuff is,” she confessed.
Iced pickles, elderflower granita, herbs and flowers, fermented lettuce, egg textures, anjovis, yogurt snow, honshimeji — the list goes on like this. This is not the kind of menu one peruses in hopes of finding a familiar favorite. This is the sort of menu that has to wash over you.
How you feel about Upton 43 will probably depend on how you feel about losing control.
And because so very many other restaurants seem designed for comfort and control, this one is an integral component of our growing restaurant scene if we are to stay as relevant as we like to think we are.

It helps that there is more than one way to use Upton 43. By night, it’s a place to stretch your expectations and boundaries. To consider the possibility of food as art.
By day, you can treat it like a somewhat ordinary lunchtime spot. While navigating the menu can indeed be a challenge, things are more familiar on the plate. Many items arrive “smorrebrod” style, riding atop a darkly toasted, thickly buttered dark rye. These open-faced sandwiches are an easy canvas for the likes of charred broccolini with a caramelized ring of onion and fine dusting of cheese, or house-cured salmon with “egg butter” that eats like a fine-dining version of egg salad.
Next to these choose a house salad or potato wedges, which, thanks to the wood-fired oven, eat like cream on the inside and potato chips on the outside. Dreamy.
Or choose the Swedish pancakes, chef Erick Harcey’s grandmother’s recipe, with tremendous chew, aroma, and character. A rye crumble over maple syrup nudges them ever so slightly back into savory territory. They’re real winners, too.
Harcey calls this restaurant an extension of himself. He’s Swedish through and through, having grown up on the cooking of his grandparents at Kaffe Stuga, a 50-year-old family restaurant in Harris, Minnesota, where a platter of Swedish meatballs goes for $7 on Sundays. He grew up eating the pickles, ferments, and flavors of the motherland that are so inextricably linked to his trajectory as a chef.
But here, pickles look a lot different than cukes in a jar. Elderflower granita provides an icy base and flowery balance to the brine and sourness of heavily pickled beets, strawberries, cucumbers, and cauliflower. Adorned with green tendrils of dill and flecked with herbs, it’s all pretty as a painting.
Pickled shrimp is not your grandpa’s tinned fish. Silver-dollar sized “tacos,” with slivers of celeriac in place of tortillas, hold a dollop of creamy shrimp salad inside. The four of them lined up on a plate are at once whimsical and austere, delicious, and memorable.
But lovely as these things may be, it’s difficult to think of them as crave-worthy. Returning to them for repeat business feels like a challenge.
Happily, a couple of the more entree-sized dishes could lure in even the most meat-and-potatoes man. The Swedish meatballs are another riff on Harcey’s grandparents’ cooking, the potatoes a snowy hill of fine potato puree with lawn-green flecks of chive, the meatballs actually pink and tender within, instead of sad and gray. A white gravy enriched with the umami essence of porcini mushroom envelops it all like a blanket.
The pork chop eats like a ribeye steak — all marbling and chewy fat, meaty enough to satisfy a Flintstone. It’s brined in a mixture that contains hay, then roasted again in hay, and while I don’t otherwise know what hay tastes like, I very much like this pork chop. It’s served with minimalist restraint — nothing more than some shaved and roasted carrots, charred onion, and walnuts. It’s a simple, beautiful thing.
Other items are less successful. When it comes time to order dessert, there’s no amount of massaging that can convince us we want roasted potato ice cream with smoked fudge, or beet sorbet with salted lemon. Some things are sacred. Some things ought to be comfortable, and dessert is one of them.
Despite the different ways to use this place, the varying angles from which to look at it, it’s still difficult to think of how to use it regularly. It’s too posh to dash in wearing jeans; a heavily marbled pork chop is still special occasion food; and meatballs at $22 are pretty dear.
I can’t help rooting for Upton 43, and rooting hard. Harcey admits that it’s a “playground” for him, and even as dining is turning away from the paradigm of letting a chef have his way with the diner, don’t we still want a few places like this one? Where surprise trumps the ordinary, where culinary skill is unmistakable, and where you sit up and pay attention, no slumping in a booth?
Harcey tells me a few changes are afoot. They’re expanding the lounge to make it more “comfortable.” Right now it only accommodates about 14 people, and unless you’re in it for a full dining experience, there’s no stopping for a quick drink and a snack, the way many of us like to eat these days. He says there may or may not be a separate menu to accommodate that new space. If one comes, will it be more “comfortable,” too?
There are fine lines between comfort and boredom, novelty and alienation. Upton 43 is walking a tightrope between them. If they can stick the sweet spot, we’ll all have a better dining town for it.
Pro tip: If it’s comfort you’re after, visit Dirty Bird, the Upton 43 annex at the back of the restaurant. Here you’ll find the mother of all comfort meals, the rotisserie chicken, which means you’ll pop the top and feed the whole family all in one flick of the wrist.
Their birds are far superior to any supermarket squawker, and sides are the kind that can make you feel good about not cooking. Macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, slaw, collard greens, and more are all crowd-pleasers, but not overwrought.
Visit here, and you’ve got dinnertime completely under control.

] | 2016-08-26T12:49:00 | null | null | Over its 54-year existence, the Minnesota State Fair grandstand has hosted hundreds of musicians, ranging in quality from Bob Dylan to Staind. | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citypages.com%2Fmusic%2Fevery-mn-state-fair-grandstand-lineup-ever-ranked%2F391194711.json | http://stmedia.stimg.co/M23727823.JPG?w=1200&h=630 | en | null | Every Minnesota State Fair grandstand lineup ever, ranked | null | null | www.citypages.com | In latter years, the State Fair lineup announcement has become an anticipated event for the unprincipled, generation-spanning mishmash of genres it presents, but some institutional knowledge proves the grandstand bill has always been a spectacle.
Going off the Minnesota State Fair’s comprehensive database, we probed the list of entertainers dating back to 1962 in order to understand the breadth of talent that’s graced the grandstand stage. And, in an effort to better understand how the 2016 edition stacks up, we ranked every single grandstand lineup from best to worst.
1. 1993
Highlights: Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, Hank Williams Jr., Santana, Dolly Parton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Def Leppard, Barry Manilow
Rationale: Three of the most formative artists of all time. Three of the greatest guitarists of all time. Barry Manilow. Best. State Fair. Lineup. Ever.
2. 1990
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, John Denver, George Strait, Bill Cosby, Marshall Tucker Band
Rationale: Can’t beat Dylan and Beach Boys.
3. 2012
Highlights: Wiz Khalifa, Mavis Staples, Anita Baker, Demi Lovato, KISS, Mac Miller, Big K.R.I.T., Blake Shelton, Journey, Pat Benatar
Rationale: The first year of the Current’s MN Music On-A-Stick added locals Semisonic, the Jayhawks, Dessa, Jeremy Messersmith, and Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles to an on-point collection of contemporary and bygone stars.
4. 1982
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Jerry Seinfeld, Rick Springfield, Air Supply, Ronnie Milsap, Sha Na Na
Rationale: A divisive year. The Beach Boys and the best comic in fair history are subverted by the hackiness of Air Supply and Sha Na Na.
5. 2006
Highlights: The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, Rascal Flatts, Eric Church, Kenny Rogers, Steve Miller Band, Poison
Rationale: The fair’s most relevant year of the 2000s by a long stretch, especially considering Bret Michaels’ VH1-boosted comeback was going on at the time.
6. 1991
Highlights: Johnny Cash, the Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Chicago, Don Henley, Vanilla Ice
Rationale: Though Vanilla Ice was the Fair’s first experiment with hip-hop* -- a failure that the grandstand is still recovering from -- the rest of the lineup does a good job bridging the gap from the lackluster ‘80s into the ‘90s boom. (*The Fat Boys opened for Nu Shooz in '86.)
7. 2007
Highlights: Taylor Swift, Fergie, Brad Paisley, Goo Goo Dolls, Fountains of Wayne, the Allman Brothers Band, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Def Leppard, Styx, Foreigner
Rationale: The grandstand goes pop in a big way, but not without letting old-hat ‘80s rock share the spotlight.
8. 1985
Highlights: Neil Young and the International Harvesters, Willie Nelson, Kenny Loggins, Waylon Jennings, Tammy Wynette, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger, Tom Jones, Night Ranger, the Suburbs
Rationale: Some local love for Minnesotans the Suburbs.
9. 2013
Highlights: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Talib Kweli, Chance the Rapper, Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Sheryl Crow and Dwight Yoakam, Depeche Mode, Trampled By Turtles, P.O.S, the Chalice
Rationale: The best year for rap at the fair despite Macklemore. Elsewhere, SNL vets Dana Carvey, Dennis Miller, and Kevin Nealon bring comedy back!
10. 2000
Highlights: Christina Aguilera, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Train, Def Leppard, Goo Goo Dolls, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Montgomery Gentry, “Weird Al” Yankovic, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Jeff Foxworthy
Rationale: Locals Semisonic also made the bill, which included stars from the two previous decades in nearly perfect balance.
11. 1986
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson and Family, John Denver, the Fat Boys, Kenny Loggins, Bangles
Rationale: The first appearance of beloved windbag Garrison Keillor drags down a pretty awesome roundup of artists.
12. 1968
Highlights: Hank Williams Jr., Frank Sinatra Jr., the Fifth Dimension, Marty Robbins, Sonny James, Connie Smith
Rationale: Bocephus’ first stint at the grandstand came in his prime, and it was one of the first grandstand sets to be anchored by a generational icon.
13. 1988
Highlights: The Beach Boys, REO Speedwagon, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Belinda Carlisle, Willie Nelson and Family, Jay Leno
Rationale: Willie Nelson played the state fair nine times in a decade. I’m sure by ‘88 people were sick of him.
14. 2014
Highlights: Aretha Franklin, Fall Out Boy, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Toby Keith, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, Brother Ali, Doomtree, Har Mar Superstar, Bob Mould
Rationale: A truly odd smattering of genres. Makes for a decent musical goulash, though.
15. 2008
Highlights: The Backstreet Boys, the Black Keys, Jewel, Paramore, Gnarls Barkley, the Black Crowes, Miranda Lambert, Phantom Planet, Dierks Bentley, Jack’s Mannequin
Rationale: A nostalgia reach that actually pays of. Staind and 3 Doors Down still linger, though.
16. 1983
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, Willie Nelson and Family, Sammy Davis Jr., Engelbert Humperdinck, Kansas
Rationale: Never sleep on ‘80s Kenny Loggins.
17. 1966
Highlights: The Supremes, Jerry Van Dyke, the Smothers Brothers, George Kirby
Rationale: The Supremes were the first veritable superstars to make the grandstand, setting a precedent that follows to today.
18. 1972
Highlights: Neil Diamond, John Denver, Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, Sonny James, Waylon Jennings
Rationale: Plenty of cheese, here, but a trio of country legends.
19. 1992
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Garth Brooks, Violent Femmes, Martina McBride, Steve Miller Band, The B-52’s, David Cassidy, Color Me Badd
Rationale: Color this lineup pretty good!
20. 1969
Highlights: Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash Show, Buck Owens, Susan Rye, George Kirby, Lynn Anderson
Rationale: The first large-scale lineup leads with some heavy-hitters, but it’s also cluttered with nobodies (Don Rice III? Susan Rye?). Also, the Johnny Cash Show isn’t the optimal way to enjoy the Man in Black.
21. 2015
Highlights: The Avett Brothers, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard, Styx, Collective Soul, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Sturgill Simpson
Rationale: Though it was a good sendoff for Haggard, who died eight months later, there’s a definitive lack of bankable stars at the top.
22. 1984
Highlights: Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, Julio Iglesias, the Osmond Brothers, Huey Lewis & the News, George Benson
Rationale: If you were born in May 1985 in Minnesota, it’s probably because you were conceived after Stewart or Iglesias’ sets at the Minnesota State Fair.
23. 1994
Highlights: The Beach Boys, Kenny G, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Roger Daltrey, America
Rationale: Perhaps country music’s finest year. Also the first year for the fair’s blues festival, which featured BB King.
24. 2011
Highlights: Weezer, Maroon 5, and Train, Reba McEntire, Heart, Marc Anthony, Def Leppard, Steely Dan, Alter Bridge, Motion City Soundtrack
Rationale: Scott Stapp, bay-bay!
25. 1971
Highlights: Neil Diamond, Liberace, Sonny and Cher, the Carpenters, George Jones, Loretta Lynn
Rationale: This one must’ve been a goddamn spectacle.
26. 1989
Highlights: New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, George Strait, Kenny Loggins, Tammy Wynette
Rationale: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also showed up in ‘89. What a cameo.
27. 1987
Highlights: Peter, Paul and Mary, the Monkees, Willie Nelson and Family, Night Ranger, Great White, the Pointer Sisters, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine
Rationale: The most ‘80s lineup in history. And Willie Nelson, of course.
28. 1996
Highlights: Michael Bolton, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, Willie Nelson and Family, Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bill Cosby
Rationale: Lotta bad haircuts in the 1996 lineup.
29. 1980
Highlights: Marshall Tucker Band, Willie Nelson, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash Show, Red Skelton, Sister Sledge
Rationale: Sister Sledge is perhaps the biggest dark horse to ever play the grandstand. What a surprise undercard.
30. 2005
Highlights: Mötley Crüe, James Taylor, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, 3 Doors Down, Staind, REO Speedwagon, Styx
Rationale: Dads, rejoice. Everyone else, despair.
31. 1979
Highlights: Styx, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Hank Cochran, Steve Martin, KC and the Sunshine Band, Bob Hope, Leif Garrett
Rationale: Styx blows.
32. 1978
Highlights: The Osmonds, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash Show, Captain & Tennille, George Benson, Bob Hope, George Miller
Rationale: The Minnesota State Fair people accidentally headlined 1978 and 1979 as “1974” in their official document, which just goes to show you how dramatically boring the Osmonds/Parton/Hope/Johnny Cash Show rut was during the 1970s.
33. 1998
Highlights: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Third Eye Blind, the Wallflowers, LeAnn Rimes, Bonnie Raitt, the Turtles
Rationale: About 30 years too late on the Turtles, but still awesome to see them. Come to think of it, you can see them this year, too.
34. 1970
Highlights: Johnny Cash Show, Jeannie C. Riley, Sonny James, Bobby Vinton, Petula Clark, Art Linkletter, the Golddiggers
Rationale: Sad to see Johnny Cash this low on the list, but his surrounding cast was dismal.
35. 1976
Highlights: Linda Ronstadt, the Osmonds, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Johnny Cash Show
Rationale: Mostly a retread of past years, aside from the formidable Linda Ronstadt, who isn’t given enough credit.
36. 1974
Highlights: Liza Minnelli, Redd Foxx, Bob Hope, Jose Feliciano
Rationale: The first year stand-up comedy was introduced -- a facet that definitely needs to return to the State Fair. The contemporary fair can also use more “Feliz Navidad.”
37. 1997
Highlights: Tim McGraw, ZZ Top, Boston, Steve Miller Band, Kenny Chesney
Rationale: The worst dorm room posters of every decade come to life.
38. 2009
Highlights: Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Lynyrd Skynyrd, OAR, Slightly Stoopid, 38 Special, Jackson Browne
Rationale: There are no emojis to correctly articulate how sad Kid Rock headlining the Fair in 2009 is. Jackson Browne, though!
39. 1975
Highlights: The Osmonds, Dolly Parton, Roy Rogers, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John, America, Freddie Prinze, Scat Man Crothers
Rationale: 1979 was nearly a gimmick year for the State Fair.
40. 2002
Highlights: Alicia Keys, Shaggy, Trisha Yearwood, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Poison, Billy Ray Cyrus
Rationale: The height of the fair’s throwback pandering. And Alicia Keys.
41. 2010
Highlights: Carrie Underwood, Rush, Tim McGraw, Seether, Brandi Carlile, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Boz Scaggs
Rationale: Somehow, Julianne Hough is on this bill.
42. 1977
Highlights: Captain & Tennille, Kansas, Bill Cosby, Ed McMahon, Andy Gibb, King Family
Rationale: Any year headlined by Captain & Tennille and Kansas is a bad year.
43. 1967
Highlights: Bob Newhart, Baja Marimba Band, George Kirby, Young Americans
Rationale: Boring is better than bad.
44. 2003
Highlights: Hootie and the Blowfish, Boston, Night Ranger, Aaron Carter, “Weird Al” Yankovic, the Kingston Trio, Grand Funk Railroad,the Doobie Brothers, the B-52’s
Rationale: Lowlights include 3 Doors Down, Trapt, Seether, and Shinedown.
45. 2001
Highlights: Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Nickleback, 3 Doors Down, Vertical Horizon, Aaron Carter, A*Teens, SR-71, David Lee Roth, Chic (with Nile Rodgers), Toby Keith, Huey Lewis and the News, Cheap Trick
Rationale: Here’s a pretty good reminder of how disposable music in the early aughts was. Not even a Beatle could redeem 2001.
46. 1995
Highlights: Faith Hill, Amy Grant, Chicago, Tony Bennett, the Little River Band, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bluestime Jam with J. Geils
Rationale: 1995 was a great year for people who like elevator music.
47. 1973
Highlights: Mac Davis, the Brady Bunch Kids, Pat Boone Family, Rich Little
Rationale: A huge dip in star power considering the preceding and following years. Brutally family-friendly.
48. 1963
Highlights: Rosemary Clooney, the Smothers Brothers, Buster Keaton
Rationale: George Clooney’s aunt!
49. 1965
Highlights: Ray Charles Singers, Pete Fountain, Mary Wells
Rationale: Not that Ray Charles.
50. 1964
Highlights: New Christy Minstrels, Anita Bryant, Al Hirt, John Gary
Rationale: “This Land Is Your Land” must’ve been cool to see live. For the first 15 seconds, anyway.
51. 1962
Highlights: Dennis Day, Jane Russell, Jimmie Dean
Rationale: Holy shit, the 1960s were boring.
52. 1981
Highlights: The Doobie Brothers, Don Williams, Ricky Skaggs, Chuck Mangione, Rodney Dangerfield, Air Supply
Rationale: Other than the Doobies and Dangerfield, it looks like they just plucked the lineup at random from the Big Book of Banal White Dude Names.
53. 1999
Highlights: Journey, Reba McEntire, Alabama
Rationale: When perennial afterthought Alabama (who played the State Fair an attritioning 13 times) make your top three, you know it’s a toilet of a year. | http://www.citypages.com/music/every-mn-state-fair-grandstand-lineup-ever-ranked/391194711 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/1a9d9f0c92987724772f14b7c113af437a7a7806d15073b06654b13fe5c1c5e6.json |

It hunches at the periphery of downtown St. Paul. It's so taken for granted, it’s almost invisible to natives.
So is it still worth going?
In a word: yes. Mickey’s is still satisfyingly gritty. Cigarette butts litter the sidewalk and the tiny vestibule is dingy with wear. This is not a spit-shined Mall of America facsimile of a diner where pimple-faced boys don paper hats.
This is the real deal.
Mickey's Dining Car flattop: a thing of wondrous beauty. Facebook
At least half the reason to go is the floor show. A bloodshot-eyed short order cook isn’t always keeping it together the way they do in the movies. He’s run out of hash browns and needs to get more, but stepping away with six pancakes on the tiny flattop, four burgers in various stages of completion, and two pounds of French fries burbling away in the fryer isn't an option.
Through it all, he bothers to make a Mickey Mouse face on the pancake for the kid, muttering something about not expecting a repeat if he’s too busy next time. He’s kindly, but you don’t wanna press your luck.
And, yeah, he is in a paper hat.
He and the waitress exchange barbs that are one-half entertainment, one-half stress-induced bickering. “You wanna punch in?” he demands, the implication that she’s sleepwalking through her shift.
“Plug your ears, honey,” she tells the kid. “Things are bout to get nasty.”
But they don’t, aside from shouting off a diner who’s taking nips from a bottle very chance he gets.
“You’re not gonna be allowed in here anymore!” she shouts.
“I swear I didn’t know!” the man feigns plausible deniability.
It’s all good, clean, American fun.
Greasy doesn’t begin to describe the cooking. Rivers of cooking oil are unleashed upon the mountain of hash browns from a squeeze bottle. Within seconds, it's absorbed within the ridges for you to ingest unwittingly, happily.
Ham is cut into portions that can only be described as steaks, butter appears applied with an ice cream scoop. Plate rims often seem like mere suggestions, like a frame whose painting is trying to cut loose.
Malts and shakes are served the only way they ought to be, in a flute with the dregs served alongside in a frosty steel cup. By now, the sliver of counter space meant to be your dining area is a precarious game of shuffleboard. Because it’s impossible to choose between a full stack, a burger, a shake, and a one-eyed-jack (Mickey’s famous egg-in-a-hole sandwich), you gotta choose them all.
But you’d be wise not to linger. You might be getting all googly-eyed over your potatoes O’Brien (diced ham, onion, and green pepper), but this here is a place of work. Staff has been quoted as asking lookie-loos: “A museum, it’s not. You gonna eat or kick tires?”
Forty-year veteran waitress Mary Kiritschenko says that the place is a lot of work. But good work. Still fun work.
The work is all around you here, as palpable as the film of grease on every cooking surface. Which is exactly why it's still so good after all these years.

Other logistical info will remain the same and original tickets will be honored. Wilco and Kurt Vile rocked Hall's Island earlier this month; it's a pleasant enough outdoor concert setting.
Last year's installment of Palomino drew 10,000 attendees to Canterbury, and there were plans to add horse racing between sets at this year's expanded event, which is co-organized by First Avenue. Will illegal horse racing go down in Northeast? Here's hoping!
The 2016 lineup is topped by Duluth's TBT, of course. But then things veer slightly away from the bluegrassy/rootsy vibes of years past:
The Arcs, the soulful garage-rock band from Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, appeared near the top of the bill at April's Coachella music fest. They'll be joined at Hall's Island by scarf-sporting indie-pop maestro Andrew Bird, 22-year-old U.K. folk-rock phenom Jake Bugg, "Sedona" hitmakers Houndmouth, and Scottish indie-rock faves Frightened Rabbit.
Minnesota-connected acts include buzzy throwback country bros the Cactus Blossoms, rambling alt-counter riser Frankie Lee, singer-songwriter John Mark Nelson, Charlie Parr's blues-rock band the Devil's Flying Machine, TBT offshoot Erik Berry Duo, and Alan Sparhawk/Tiny Desk Contest champion Gaelynn Lea's band the Murder of Crows.

We apparently live in a disturbing universe where depriving people of Joe Satriani's "Crowd Chant" is cause for outrage. To bust out some regional parlance: uff-da.
Prince's super-charged guitar rocker is perfect for the arena setting, and its selection as goal song is a lovely tribute to the late pop megastar. Anyway, that's the official editorial position of City Pages, but let's hear it from the other side:
That sampler of riled up comments was culled from the Wild's Facebook page. Some folks think "Let's Go Crazy" isn't especially suited for hockey, a reasonable enough position. From there, things got progressively shittier. You've got the Prince isn't manly/hetero enough crowd; you've got the drug-addict shamers.
Thankfully, supportive Wild fans also came out in force. The song switch was decided by a 2-1 vote among season ticket holders, after all.
Of the 700-plus comments on the post announcing the move, this one won the most likes: "Finally. No offense to Joe Satriani but that song was really lame, especially since other teams used it. At least this has a connection to Minnesota."
How do you feel about this important civic issue?
Does "Let's Go Crazy" effectively characterize your deepest feelings after a goal?
Is shaming an addict the least empathetic thing a person can do?
Did Prince know how to ice skate backwards?
Are dated notions of masculinity harmful to society?
What brand of shaving cream does Satriani use on his scalp?
Should I bet my 401k on the Wild winning the Stanley Cup?
Does new Wild coach Bruce Boudreau know how to rock?
Was 1984, the very year "Let's Go Crazy" dropped via Purple Rain, a totally killer year for music?
Is Prince reading this blog in Rock Star Heaven?
Are you still reading this blog?
What's the etymology of the word "blog," anyway?
How do you end a blog? | http://www.citypages.com/music/some-wild-fans-arent-crazy-about-princes-lets-go-crazy/391198301 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/7cadeb1e3293aeef1fb14a884bcd4b4810d4e1b0b30f6dcd789edd2cd1cc21e4.json |

Directing this year is Tyler Olsen, from Dangerous Productions, who worked on the first Big Lowdown a few years ago. For this installment, Olsen wanted to take on the negative rhetoric around immigrants in this country, especially present in this year’s election climate, by helping to share immigrantion experiences in Minnesota.
“We wanted to create something that was an interactive piece that put people in the shoes of immigrants to cultivate an understanding and to celebrate the stories of the people that have come here,” he says.
The process involved interviewing 20 different immigrants and people from immigrant families, and putting together a team of artists and actors who are themselves primarily immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Participants include Dario Tangelson, from Argentina; Mohammed Yabdri, an Algerian artist; and July Vang, a member of the Hmong community. There are also non-immigrant artists who were involved in making the show. Olsen acknowledges that Live Action Set, Dangerous Productions, and Bedlam are all organizations not run by immigrants themselves. However, “we had these [immigrant] artists in the room,” he says. “It’s their voices we are trying to push -- not our own. We act as facilitators.”
The production finds inspiration from interviews that were conducted as part of the research for the show, as well as the experiences of the immigrant artists involved. “We’re plunging people right into this," says Olsen. "What does it mean to come to a place where you don’t know the language?”
The actors speak a variety of languages in the show, so audience members who happen to know, say, Spanish or Hmong, immediately become helpful to other audience members.
“One of the things we’d hear from folks is that, when they come here, the people who spoke English become very valuable members of their family,” Olsen says
The show is mostly centered around Bedlam Lowertown, with a few scenes that happen outside of the building. Each audience member has a schedule they follow, as well as an ID card, though some people will be denied an ID and will have to figure things out without it.
So get your passport and get on down to Lowertown. There’s sure to be mad hijinks, but also poignant experiences in the show. | http://www.citypages.com/arts/everyones-an-immigrant-in-big-lowdown/391210991 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/0fe26aa2f29611c74b80ecb620c23938653ef9b6a892cf60dae6093adb815109.json |

Welcome to the post-apocalyptic future, where the scarce survivors huddle in villages, relying on roving bands of Seekers to bear information and resources from one settlement to another. All the Seekers are women — and, in fact, there's no evidence of men whatsoever. It's left entirely to the imagination exactly how the human race propagates itself.
Quite a bit is left to the imagination in 600 Years, which tells the story of six Seekers who come upon a star map that just might help them navigate across an ocean ("the Endless Aqua"): the ultimate Seeker stunt, if they can pull it off. They seem confident that the star map will be an adequate navigational device though, unfortunately, posterity has preserved the memory of smartphones ("sticks" that once contained all the world's knowledge, it's thought) but not sextants.
Sandbox Theatre's collaboratively created show begins with an atmospheric flourish, as the Seekers' silhouettes are projected on fabric billowing down from the Southern Theater's proscenium. The fabric screens (later used for projections representing animals, environments, and villagers) are a nice touch by scenic designer Derek Lee Miller. They're an effective use of the space to add atmosphere and dimension while evoking primitive around-the-fire storytelling.
Unfortunately 600 Years is light on actual storytelling, heavy on ritual chanting and stilted pronouncements. For a once-in-a-generation adventure, the Seekers' march to the sea is surprisingly quick and uneventful. Aside from the rot scare, there's really just one challenging situation involving a rainstorm and a wild boar, and that's about it. When the Seekers finally reach the sea, their journey's end turns out to be a bleak, abrupt anticlimax.
That leaves the Seekers with plenty of time for character development, which might have been fruitful if the characters couldn't each be adequately described with a single word. The courageous Greer (Danielle Siver), intrepid Nova (Kristina Fjellman), and energetic Lila (Michelle de Joya) are joined by the sage Vinka (Heather Stone), the young Clementine (Ashawnti Ford), and the blind Bea (Evelyn Digirolamo).
Bea, who's constantly being complimented on her well-honed tracking skills, navigates by knocking on her shield to listen for echoes. Like the Ninja Turtles, the Seekers each get one distinctive accessory. ("What's that stick for?" a villager asks Greer at one point. "This is my staff," she replies, and leaves it at that. Like Louis Armstrong said about jazz: If you have to ask, you'll never know.)
Though director Amber Bjork and her cast strain to create a distinctive world, rich in music (including a percussive score performed live by Megan Campbell Lagas) and mythology, they never really show us what's at stake in this heroines' journey. The company describes the show as "a celebration of hope," but what I found myself hoping for was a reason to care. | http://www.citypages.com/arts/sandbox-theatres-600-years-needs-more-storytelling-to-fill-time/391652831 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/bb29b3b07f3f29ae75d34969824f6ad49084a083fe37b67c77b3e98099b0ec42.json |

These 12 comic strips not only highlight the best and sometimes worst aspects of our late-night activity (beware the “Drunqueens” and “Kreepsters”). But they also showcase the work of talented cartoonists who call Minneapolis and St. Paul home.

Goodwin’s poignant and absorbing play, now at the Jungle Theater under the direction of Marion McClinton as part of a “rolling world premiere” among four American companies, was inspired by the true story of Antoine Dowdell and Tarik Shah, two musician brothers, the latter of whom was convicted of conspiring to aid al-Qaida. In Bars and Measures, as in life, the conspiracy charges rely on an elaborate government sting that supporters of the imprisoned man say amounts to entrapment.
Onstage, the brothers are Eric (Darius Dotch) and Bilal (Ansa Akyea), and we first meet them in a prison visiting room, “jamming” by way of scatting back and forth with their voices alone as jazz-bassist Bilal tries to teach his classical-pianist sibling how to swing. When visiting time is over, that room at stage left becomes Bilal’s solitary-confinement cell while Eric returns to his elegant apartment at stage right, greeting a musical collaborator (Taous Claire Khazem) who might also become a lover.
In a tight 80 minutes with no intermission, Bars and Measures hurtles toward Bilal’s trial as we gradually learn more about the brothers’ shared history. Khazem and actor Maxwell Collyard fill in a range of utility roles (lawyers, a prison guard, a television reporter), but the focus is on Eric and Bilal — particularly Eric, who wrestles with conflicted feelings about his brother as we see Bilal standing in the shadows across the stage, held in solitary confinement. Dotch convincingly strains to maintain his composure as more and more is asked of his character.
The production is suffused with music while avoiding the temptation to, so to speak, overplay. Hidden neon lighting in Andrea Heilman’s set blinks on to evoke a nightclub when the brothers sing together, as music from composer/sound designer Justin Ellington ebbs and flows. The contrast between buttoned-down Eric and impulsive Bilal is clear, but Goodwin thankfully doesn’t push the musical analogy too far. Fundamentally, this is a play about two characters, not two genres.
Goodwin is experienced as a hip-hop performer in addition to being a playwright, and his dialogue pushes actors and audience to follow impassioned flights of argument and emotion. Bilal, in particular, strains to explain his perspective as understandable anger tips into potentially criminal conspiracy. At times, Akyea seems almost overwhelmed by the avalanche of language. But this is, after all, a character being pushed to his limits.
Like a good jazz solo, Bars and Measures combines force and restraint, logic and emotion. It’s likely to get stuck in your head for a long while.

"The mystery of the severed fingers in the East Grand Forks park seems to have been solved."
Does it? In one aspect, there are more details available about whose fingers were found on a picnic table in East Grand Forks. But to say mystery solved, move along folks, nothing to see here... it's all a bit premature.
This is because the guy whose fingers turned up in East Grand Forks was, at the time he lost them, standing in the city of Grand Forks -- one rushing river and a state line away from where they were found.
One night in late April, 24-year-old Grand Forks resident Mackenzie Steel was shooting off mortar shells in a city park. Things went precisely how your mother warned you they would. A 2-inch shell exploded inside the launch tube Steel was holding, "resulting in the complete or partial loss of his left palm, wrist and fingers," the Herald explains.
So far, so awful, but at least it makes sense.
Grand Forks cops arriving at the scene were more concerned about Steel's condition than collecting his severed digits, and apparently no one thought to look for them later. (Steel's accident was deemed punishment enough, and he wasn't prosecuted for illegal use of fireworks.)
Weeks went by before the fingers were spotted by a family that was just getting ready to camp in the East Grand Forks Recreation Area. Treated at first as a sign of potential foul play -- and why not? -- the fingers were taken to analysts at a state crime lab. DNA tests done there matched Steel's, confirming the identity of the fingers' former owner.
How'd they get over the river and into the park, about a half-mile by road, a little less as the crow flies?
Aha! Now you're onto it, my dear Watson. Those lab analysts spotted what looked like "beak marks," meaning a bird might have picked up the fingers (which had come off Steel's hand still attached) and flown them across the river... only to drop them on a picnic table in a public park, where a 6-year-old would later find them.
Reminder: Birds are our enemies, and are now taunting us with the macabre debris from our own hubristic folly. We have but one recourse. Someone must take a basket of chicken wings to the East Grand Forks Recreation Area, set it down on a picnic table, and slowly look up to the sky. Maybe declare war, or laugh evilly. See where the scene takes you.
That is, if you believe the story of the bird that crossed the river with the fingers. At various points in the Herald's story, law enforcement describe the bird idea as "an answer" and "a theory."
If you've got a better explanation, we encourage you to immediately begin working it into a piece of short fiction. | http://www.citypages.com/news/why-did-the-severed-fingers-cross-the-red-river-from-north-dakota-to-minnesota/391417491 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/dcd7aabf6157b7a4244626411a403938fb7dc005bf6babbd996b7f16e4eec28a.json |

And it sucked. | null | null | www.citypages.com | Allow me to fill in some blanks. I am a professional actor/improviser. Sometimes in my job we do corporate shows for various companies. This is how a lot of theaters are able to fund themselves. These gigs “keep the lights on.” Usually it’s pretty fun.
Needless to say, what the client wants, the client usually gets. And at this point in my career, I am pretty good at delivering.
So when we pulled two audience members from the crowd to help us in a scene, we thought it would be business as usual. They would say something silly (“olive loaf!”), or use corporate jargon (“Let’s put a pin in that!”), or be inside jokey (“Daryl couldn’t find the copier if he tried!”), and we then have to justify whatever they said and keep the scene going.
It’s a crowd-pleaser. I’ve done this type of thing literally thousands of times with no incident. Until this week.
The guy we pulled up decided to make a joke. About me. “Your ex-husband left you because you were too big.”
Lauren Anderson says her new workout routine probably saved her from a breakdown after she was insulted.
The audience laughed and laughed. I stood there stunned. Over 150 people in a room laughing at me. And I just had to stand there and wait for them to stop.
The worst part was the trajectory of the laugh. It started off as shock and pity. Then the laugh moved to full-on guffawing, then decayed into a real, “Oooooo, you GOT HER!” Finally, I put my hands up to calm them down.
So what did I do? I continued the scene, because I’m a pro. I used the sentence and flipped it on its head. Masterful deflecting, if I do say so myself. And I got things back on track. I got the audience to get over it and laugh with me, instead of at me.
I am happy to report my bosses had my back. They told me no amount of money is worth treatment like that, and they would be talking with the client. They complimented me for staying professional, and said they would’ve been behind me if I’d decided to obliterate the guy instead.
Had it been another show in different circumstances, I might’ve. But I decided in the moment to play it safe. I stand by my decision. (I’ve daydreamed a few alternate scenarios since then.) Regardless, I was grateful to have the support.
But boy was I furious. Furious that some guy I’ve never met thought it was okay to comment on my body. That my body was something to be ridiculed. That this body is not worthy of love.
Not to mention that he himself was carrying extra weight. Like it’s okay for him, but not for me? And the audience wasn’t booing the guy either. Their oohing and ahhing meant making fun of someone for being “fat” still seems like an okay thing to do. What-in-the-actual--?!
Joke’s on them though. Because they don’t know how much mental (let alone physical) work I’ve done. If this would’ve happened to me before I started working out, taking nutrition classes, and lifting weights at Solcana CrossFit and Wellness Center, I bet I would’ve been pretty hurt. I bet this would’ve knocked me out.
As the week went on, the incident started to gnaw at me like a sliver in my paw.
How dare he?! This slightly drunk guy trying to make his work buddies laugh, at my expense, probably didn’t give his comment another thought. And yet it was ruining my week.
I started to feel helpless. No matter how hard I work, there is always going to be some douche-canoe out there ready to thwart me and my efforts at every turn.
Not only do I live my life in a body that society can’t accept, it never lets me forget it. And the only time I can get reprieve is if I apologize for being this way, and act like I hate myself, or promise I’m working to change it.
I’m so sick of having to defend myself, and then prove that body love is possible, real, and not just lip-service. I have to fiercely protect it, and never waiver. It’s friggin’ exhausting.
Later that week, I left my apartment and drove three blocks to the nearest Taco Bell, and ordered two full meals. You know when you order so much food they give you two sets of silverware? Yeah. That’s right.
I was going to self-destruct. Death by chalupa, and no one could stop me. If this is what America thinks of me, might as well give ’em what they want, right? What’s the point trying to be anything else? I gorged myself right there in the parking lot. I ate angrily. I ate without enjoyment. And I ate it all.
When I was done, I didn’t cry. I didn’t have some catharsis. I just sat there. Numb. What the hell just happened? After months and months of mindful eating, I thought this was behind me. My relationship to food had changed so much. But here we were again: eating to escape, to punish, to mollify.
When I finally came to my senses, I was even more angry that this one small incident could tip me over the edge.
The next morning I woke up, and despite a few more trips to the bathroom than usual, I felt okay. I knew what I had done. I had eaten to escape. I used that food like a drug. I knew it as it was happening, but it was even clearer in the daylight.
And I realized it’s not really me anymore.
I made my usual breakfast of a delicious egg scramble, and ate it intentionally. I was thankful for the real food. And as I ate I thought about the previous night. Yes, it was intense. But there was a time when that kind of ruinous behavior would’ve lasted for weeks, months even.
But it no longer gave me the relief I needed. Kinda’ like smoking a cigarette 10 years after quitting. You no longer crave the nicotine, so it just tastes gross.
That guy that heckled me will never know me: The one that falls down, but gets back up again. That keeps fighting. He’ll never see the glory of all this body can do. It’s hard to admit, but his words did hurt me. I think I got so mad because I didn’t want them to. But even though they hurt, I’m too damn strong for that.
And with that realization, I did a few baller bicep flexes in my full-length mirror. And I giggled.
Unlike that guy or the crowd, I wasn’t laughing at myself out of ridicule or cruelty. I was laughing because I felt happy.
For the first time in forever, I looked at myself and liked what I saw, flaws and all.
“Not bad Anderson,” I said out loud. “Who’s laughing now, sucka?”

Sep 2nd 6:00 am - 12:00 am
$11-$13
10. CRACKER JACK® Caramel Sundae
At Goertze’s Dairy Kone. $7
The folks at Goertze’s Dairy Kone get bonus points for presentation and personality. The jocular mien of our server put a smile on our faces — as did the Cracker Jack caramel sundae he handed us. The monster concoction features Goertze’s famous vanilla soft serve “ice Kreme,” topped with caramel sauce, mini M&Ms, and a drizzle of hot fudge all swathed in whipped cream. It’s piled into an actual Cracker Jack box, so you find a surprise layer of caramel corn on the bottom. It’s big enough to share, which is good, because everyone will want some.
9. Gumbo Frites
At Ragin Cajun. $7
We were thoroughly surprised by this one. At first glance, before the shredded cheese had a chance to melt atop the gravy-laden fries, we thought it would be a sloppy, two-bit rendition of a Canadian classic. But this bayou-poutine proved us wrong. It’s not exactly gumbo gracing these crispy French fries, but it’s a damn tasty gravy with bits of spicy ham that had us reaching in for more. Don’t sleep on this curious wonder.
8. Reuben Pickle Dog
At Pickle Dog. $7
Roast beef and cream cheese were never part of the Reuben recipe, but the State Fair is all about culinary iconoclasm. Pickle Dog swaddles its famous dill spears in a half inch of cream cheese and wraps it all in a slice of deli roast beef (which they claim is pastrami?). Voila, Reuben Pickle Dog. Despite the liberal interpretation of the New York City classic, there are strands of sauerkraut, and this new addition to the outside-the-bun hot dog cart is a strange and refreshing delight.
7. Cajun Peel-N-Eat Shrimp
At Café Caribe. $10
Grease, batter, and sodium. This is the pedigree of fair foods. But that’s where Club Med-themed margarita house Café Caribe changes things up. Their cajun peel-n-eat shrimp are a fresh reprieve from the slog of deep-fried whatever on a stick. Tender and firm tails in split shells are lightly dusted with a zesty off-the-shelf cajun spice. The only real criticism is that you lose a lot of the seasoning when removing the shell, but overall, this is a welcome addition to the fairgrounds.
6. Cheesy French Onion Monkey Bread
At Blue Moon Dine-In Theater. $7
If you prefer your soup on a bread bowl, Blue Moon’s Cheesy French Onion Monkey Bread is ideal. A globe of stringy swiss sits atop the pullapart bread, and translucent onions with a savory jus are poured over the top. It’s a clever reverse engineering of the classic starter, though it’s a bit odd to eat soup with your hands. Do it anyway and gobble it quickly before the bread gets too soggy.
The spicy pork bowl at Blue Barn ups the ante on State Fair fare. Lucy Hawthorne
5. Call It Breakfast
At Dairy Goodness Bar, Midwest Dairy Association. $5
You can get the Call It Breakfast as a malt or a sundae, but to be honest, there isn’t much difference between the two. They’re both extremely creamy iced treats topped with doughnut sprinkles and chunks of what taste like A Baker’s Wife doughnuts. Would you actually eat this dessert for breakfast? Maybe if you’re a hedonist with no sense of self-preservation, but whatever the hour, the Dairy Building should be proud to host this democratically elected sweet treat.
4. Bang Bang Fresh Chicken Tenders
At LuLu’s Public House. $6
Chicken tenders. Is there any more snooze-worthy phrase in the food universe? But here on Dan Patch Avenue at one of those generic-seeming beer vending stalls, we dare say we just ate the chicken tender of our lives. Which is kind of like drinking the bottled water of your life. Subtly exciting, yet exciting! For once not an oxymoron, these tenders are in fact tender, with sophisticated breading and frying and a handmade buffalo sauce (also available with BBQ) riding sidecar that’s at once fiery, creamy, and cracking fresh. One of our favorite bites. Wonders do not cease at the Minnesota State Fair.
3. Barbecued Shrimp Taco
At Tejas Express. $10
The barbecued shrimp tacos at Tejas Express were the most pleasant surprise of the day. It can seem like seafood and the State Fair don’t really go together. But the shrimp were big and succulent, and there were lots of them. The chipotle barbecue sauce was definitely a few notches past Minnesota spicy, and the fresh and crisp jicama slaw provided a crunchy and cooling counterpoint. It would have been a nice touch to warm the corn tortillas on the griddle, but that’s a quibble.
2. Spicy Pork Bowl
At The Blue Barn. $9
The ubiquity of the rice bowl being what it is, we’re not sure why we should encourage you to get one at the fair, except that this is a damn good bowl. The pork is at once smoky yet lightly sweet, performing an impressive balancing act that many porks cannot. The rice is tinged with herbaceous goodness, and hard cooked greens and tender black beans provide a solid base. A dollop of also excellently balanced “charred” salsa plus a finishing shower of fried onion makes this one of the most balanced things we’ve ever had at the fair, though you’re not at the fair for balance, we know.
1. Carpe Diem
At The Rabbit Hole. $6
This ice cream treat has it all: clever name, whimsical presentation, and knockout ingredients. The Carpe Diem from Rabbit Hole is served in a miso waffle cone shaped like a fish with a gaping mouth, the better to hold your sweet treat. A ladle of luxurious strawberry-balsamic sauce goes in first, followed by a generous serving of ultra-rich vanilla ice cream, topped with graham cracker crumbs and a strawberry. The miso gives the cone an unusual depth of flavor; it’s an integral part of the dish, not just a receptacle for the ice cream. Seize the day and get one of these cones.
Honorable Mention:
Iron Range Meat & Potatoes, at Giggles’ Campfire Grill. $8
So maybe you didn’t come to the State Fair to get a solid, rib-sticking meal. But let’s say you did, eh? The Iron Range Meat and Potatoes would be your first and only stop. This hearty shepherd’s pie is actual food in a sea of gimmicky pretenders. Real meatloaf with bits of sweet corn is frosted with real mashed potatoes (with bits of red potato skin!) and dressed with a savory gravy. If you’re looking for sustenance — and flavor — look no further.
Chocolate Agate Crunch, at Hamline Church Dining Hall. $5 for a single, $7 for a double
Ice cream fans, and especially Izzy’s fanatics, should get over to the Hamline Church Dining Hall for some chocolate agate crunch, a new flavor inspired by the Minnesota state gemstone, the Lake Superior agate. There is a lot going on with this frozen treat. It starts with Izzy’s chocolate caramella ice cream, streaked through with a salted caramel swirl, then adds Oreo cookie crumbles and edible chocolate “rocks.” And of course, you get an Izzy’s scoop on top. May we suggest the mini-donut batter crunch?
La La Palooza Sundae, at Bridgman’s Ice Cream. $25
For the their 80th birthday, Bridgeman’s brought their behemoth La La Palooza sundae to the State Fair. It’s a hulking, eight-scoop monstrosity that defies any and all rationale. Pineapple chunks sit atop butter brittle ice cream. Strawberry topping covers pecans and mounds of chocolate. Everything melts into a Neapolitan nightmare that will draw gasps from fairgoers and Bridgeman’s employees alike. It’s such a spectacle that each buy comes with an “I ate a La La Palooza” button that’s the size of a softball. Pure, beautiful spectacle.
Biggest clunkers:
Deep Fried Nachos Supreme, at Texas Steak Out. $9
The entire dish looks like something that has already been eaten. Crushed nacho tortilla chips feel already chewed, then balled up around cheese, fried into a crust, and served with lunchroom-quality ground beef, salsa, sour cream, and a squirt of liquid guacamole. Nothing supreme about it.
SPAM® Curds, at SPAM®. $7
This thing is as much cheese curd as Spam is meat. Which is to say, not very. Breaded and deep-fried spam cubes hide an insignificant trickle of processed cheese sauce within. The top note is salt, the bottom note is salt, the middle note is salt. If you want any of these, just inspect nearby trash receptacles. Intact containers are sure to be found.
Candied Bacon Donut Sliders, Minnesota Wine Country. $9
If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. While the candied maple bacon is a nice blend of sweet and smoky, the delicate doughnut buns are desperately dry. Too much pizazz, not enough execution.

7th St. Entry, Wednesday 8.24
An independent-minded Minneapolis rapper and producer, Rich Garvey is finding more and more DIY success. This album-release show coincides with his most eagerly anticipated project yet, the new Man of the People EP, made in collaboration with producer Travis Gorman. The Liberian-born Garvey’s catalog includes collaborations with Rhymesayers artists (most recently Dem Atlas), and there’s no doubt that stylistically, he’s an underground rapper. Still, Man of the People finds him adding to his sound more impressively than ever before, with songs ranging from the lighthearted and smoked-out “Pearlin” (his first collaboration with Minneapolis’ rising Finding Novyon) to the more serious “Then They Gotchu,” which includes a vividly detailed recollection of an encounter with local police. Gorman’s production is on-point throughout, whether it’s with the off-kilter wobble of “Better This Way” or the laidback jazz influence on various other tracks. Other artists set to perform Wednesday include P.O.S, Free Lunch Crew, Unknown Creatures, and Destiny Roberts. 18+. $15-$18. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8388. -- Michael Madden

Rich the Kid
Mill City Nights, Friday 8.26
Atlanta rapper and dab originator Rich the Kid first emerged alongside ATL trio Migos in 2013 with “Jumpin’ Like Jordan.” While that group found national fame first, Rich is having the hotter 2016 so far. The 24-year-old knows his lane (infectious, high-energy trap rap), and it’s given him a loyal fanbase that helps make his songs huge (like “Plug,” featuring Florida phenom Kodak Black and Atlanta’s Playboi Carti). Fans also gobble up his steady stream of mixtapes, including 2014 breakthrough Feels Good to Be Rich and the new Rich Forever Music 2. Rich is also a prolific collaborator, working with everyone from Justin Bieber to Wiz Khalifa to Frank Ocean. With his Rich Forever Music label, he’s found a complementary signee in Chicago’s irrepressible Famous Dex (who will also perform on Friday). In fact, he also has a couple Minnesota associates in St. Paul natives M R$CH and producer Kush. 16+. $22-$50. 8:30 p.m. 111 Fifth St. N., Minneapolis; 612-333-3422. -- Michael Madden

Dixie Chicks
Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, Saturday 8.27 & Sunday 8.28
The Dixie Chicks still aren’t ready to make nice. Instead, the Texas trio are defiant, touring as U.S. headliners for the first time in a decade. The Chicks’ cover of Beyoncé’s “Daddy Lessons” is being pecked at as insufficiently country. Then there’s politics. For those who spent the last 13 years staring at Russia from Sarah Palin’s house, lead singer Natalie Maines stirred up serious shit when she said she was ashamed to share Texas roots with Dubya on the brink of his Iraq debacle. That prompted apoplectic death threats and radio bans. Maines and ace picking sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Stayer (formerly Robison) got some vindication when their next album, 2006’s Taking the Long Way (featuring the Dan Wilson-co-penned “Not Ready to Make Nice), won five Grammys. But they remained scarce until this mostly sold-out DCX MMXVI tour, which sports a devilish image of D. J. Trump as the band plays their “Goodbye Earl” hit. Oh, and Maines just blasted country radio for supporting Trump following his recent remark about “Second Amendment people” targeting Hilary Clinton. Throw in some pop covers and a Texas shuffle or two, and the Dixie Chicks are definitely back. Sold out. 7 p.m. 1265 Snelling Ave. N., Falcon Heights; 651-288-4427. -- Rick Mason
Russian Circles
The Cedar Cultural Center, Saturday 8.27
Though the Chicago instrumental rockers Russian Circles may warrant comparisons to bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky, the group doesn’t fit neatly into the “post-rock” subgenre. The Circles’ songs, which frequently surpass six minutes, often launch into bruising metal riffage after minutes of calmer, autumnal grandeur. Their best attribute might be their chemistry: Despite having just three members, the Circles can get a hell of a lot accomplished with just guitar, bass, and drums, though they’ve also worked with keyboards, strings, horns, and, occasionally, singing (see “Praise Be Man” and “Memorial,” featuring goth-folk mainstay Chelsea Wolfe). Their sixth and latest album, Guidance, engineered and mixed by Converge’s Kurt Ballou, might be their best yet, pulling off a rare trick in instrumental rock by consistently infusing epic songs with explosions of sound more memorable than a lot of bands’ choruses. Highlights include “Vorel,” “Afrika,” and “Calla.” Cloakroom opens. $16-$18. 8 p.m. 416 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-338-2674. -- Michael Madden

Mock the Garden
Memory Lanes, Monday, 8.29
Mock the Garden will again bring a charitable punk marathon to Memory Lanes. “Here is a fucking ridiculous music festival for you to go fuck yourselves at,” organizer Drew Ailes — also a frequent City Pages contributor — writes in the Facebook invite. The underground music blowout, which this year is subtitled “A Mature Music Festival For Adults,” will feature 34 punk/hardcore/noise/DIY bands performing 10-minute sets over three stages at the Minneapolis bowling alley. Among them: Cock E.S.P., Swimsuit Area, Catbath, Pleasure Wounds, Yoni Yum, and many, many more. “It is sort of in Jaime Carrera’s honor,” Ailes writes of the third-annual fest. “I’m also trying to get a bunch of busts made of him to scatter around the city, but we’ll see if I can stop wandering around the city and mumbling obscenities to myself for long enough to make that actually happen.” Carrera, a passionate, boisterous, creative, and hilarious Twin Cities performer/artist, died in March. Proceeds from Mock the Garden will benefit the Advocates for Human Rights, a nonprofit that assists refugees and immigrants. $3 suggested donation. 7 p.m. 2520 26th Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-721-6211. -- Jay Boller

Jane Monheit & Nicholas Payton
Dakota Jazz Club, Tuesday 8.30 & Wednesday 8.31
One of the most popular current jazz singers, Jane Monheit has long cited Ella Fitzgerald as a key influence. And now she’s issued a full-fledged tribute with a bit of a twist, thanks to New Orleans trumpeter Nicholas Payton. The Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald is modeled after a series of songbook albums Ella recorded beginning in the mid-’50s focusing on iconic writers of the Great American Songbook. So Monheit tackles the likes of Ellington, Strayhorn, Porter, Mercer, Arlen, Berlin. She also fuses the Gershwins’ “I Was Doing All Right” with Amy Winehouse’s “Know You Now,” linked by a sparkling harp, sultry groove, erudite trumpet line, and fleet scatting. That generational leap is among several touches — tighter rhythms, hotter simmering tension, splayed angles — giving the album a more contemporary slant, thanks primarily to Payton’s arrangements and production. His sterling trumpet work also helps bridge traditional and modern jazz. Monheit comes through, of course, minimizing her blustery tendency so that her wealth of technical prowess can flourish. $35-$45. 9 & 7 p.m. 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis; 612-332-5299. -- Rick Mason | http://www.citypages.com/music/the-weeks-best-concerts-aug-24-31/391109641 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/27ab524de954c339e3f1dbd8903500ed47da89972d4b17f736d19a313f0b85f7.json |

Don't be sad. All you need is to realize that there is one big thing missing from your team, dude. Its name is Karl-Anthony Towns.
This past weekend, the Timberwolves' breakout star traveled to Kentucky to hang out at his alma mater -- of sorts; Towns left the University of Kentucky after one year -- and spend time with his old coach, John Calipari.
Coach Cal was holding a celebrity softball game, and a home run derby. And Karl-Anthony Towns was going after the ball like it had said something terribly mean to him.
Later, Towns competed in the home run derby, and, in the final round, came up to bat needing to hit a dinger. He hit it out -- of the field. The whole field. Like, if he were a baseball player, this was a real-deal home run.

Watching these clips, it's quite likely a few Major League Baseball team general managers woke up with that phrase -- "if he were a baseball player" -- rattling around their heads.
Towns, for his part, has charitably volunteered his services to one of the worst.

Earlier this year at the state Republican convention in Duluth, the party picked its 10 electoral college voters. The state party was also supposed to choose 10 alternate electoral college names. It didn't.
Therein lies the problem.
What could've been an in-house mess went public yesterday, when blogger and former Republican Party of Minnesota official Michael Brodkorb noticed that something didn't look right about the Secretary of State's sample ballot. Donald Trump wasn't on it.
Question to @MNSteveSimon -> Why is Donald Trump not listed on the sample ballot available on the SOS website? pic.twitter.com/t7F4EvM610 — Michael Brodkorb (@mbrodkorb) August 24, 2016
"The sample ballot online will generally lead to what's on the general election ballot," Brodkorb tells City Pages. "The reason Trump's name wasn't coming up on the Minnesota Secretary of State website was because the Republican Party of Minnesota had not submitted this paperwork, which is due Monday."
He's right.
By August 29, both major political parties must submit the requisite paperwork to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office so that their respective presidential candidates appear on the ballot. This information by law must include the presidential candidate's name as well as that of the vice president, the names of the party's 10 Minnesota presidential electors, and the 10-person list of alternates.
According to the RPM bylaws, all 20 electors must be chosen at a state party convention. The thing that happened back in May.
The state's Republicans are now scrambling, after realizing they hadn't picked and therefore submitted the 10 alternate electoral voters.
The party has attempted to piecemeal a solution, appointing alternate electors in a hastily called meeting Wednesday night, according to Brodkorb. (State GOP officials could not be reached for comment Thursday morning.) That solution defied party protocol, which calls for a 10-day notice for any on-the-fly party convention.
"So they have a problem now," says Brodkorb. "Their only recourse to fix it in this timetable was to appoint alternate presidential electors. But the problem with that is, there's no procedure within the party for that to happen. The only way they could've done was at the state convention."
According to Pioneer Press reporter Rachel Stassen-Berger, the state GOP filed the proper papers Thursday, and the Trump/Mike Pence team should appear on the sample ballot soon.
But Brodkorb suggests that by circumventing the process, the Republican Party exposed itself to possible legal challenges that would keep Trump's name off the ballot. Party leaders should "hope and pray" their last-minute appointment doesn't bother any party members.
"My assumption is, they think what they did last night is a fix," Brodkorb said. "But this is politics, where people fight over the shape of a table being round or square. This is just ripe for problems. There could be nothing more 2016 than this." | http://www.citypages.com/news/republican-party-of-minnesota-forgot-to-put-donald-trump-on-minnesota-ballot-scrambling-to-fix-it/391288881 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/75409e84f6f6775c4dcce2fef93040c289001a3daf8b17276afb1b04ee9520ef.json |

It's not if, but when. | null | null | www.citypages.com | Get in here now! she barked.
The timbre of her voice said she was serious. By the time they scurried to the basement of their Excelsior home, a breeze had turned full squall. The sky spit quarter-sized hail. Ninety seconds later, God unleashed hell.
It felt like an adventure to 15-year-old son Harry. A beast of a tornado had invaded from Chanhassen to the south, and was now auguring a path four football fields wide, directly above their heads.
Harry remembers feeling small. He heard 200 mph winds indiscriminately thrashing boats, bricks, and trees, then hurling them at will. It left as quickly as it arrived.
The storm would be the first of eight tornadoes to ransack the Twin Cities area on May 6, 1965. Thirteen people perished. Nearly 1,000 were hurt. The damage in 2016 dollars would be in the billions.
Some of the vast damage caused by the 1965 tornado. The house in the foreground was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Paulsen. The Mound, Minnesota, couple was killed when winds plucked them from the house. STAR TRIBUNE
When the Allens emerged, stillness and broken glass received them at the top of the stairs. Pines that had towered over houses were now snapped at the base. Gone was the house next door. Impaled atop a nearby roof was the 16-foot sailboat belonging to older brother Bill.
The twisters that night “terrorized this area,” says state climatologist Kenny Blumenfeld.
“This will happen again.”
Call it bad timing. The law of averages. The fact that Mother Nature always wins.
According to Blumenfeld and others who study Minnesota’s violent weather, the writing on the wall says the Twin Cities is about to get whacked by a wicked tornado. And it’s going to happen sooner rather than later.
The soothsayers
As a tyke in Minneapolis, Blumenfeld caught the tornado bug in elementary school. His show-and-tells were “badly informed” doom-and-gloom stories birthed from an excitable boy’s imagination.
He wishes it were still the case.
Blumenfeld and fellow climatologist Pete Boulay are Minnesota’s severe weather sentinels. Squired away in an office on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus, they study storms past to see the thunderclouds of the future.
“We look at all the statistics. We look at the climate here and we go, ‘Wow! There’s going to be a major tornado, or tornado outbreak, some type of weather disaster that really knocks this region out,’” says Blumenfeld.
History and science say so.
Minnesota camps in the tornado wheelhouse, perched along the northern edge of twisters’ preferred stomping grounds. The area’s relationship with the cone-shaped destroyers predates statehood. Settlers in 1820 documented a funnel near the future site of Fort Snelling.
But it’s a relatively young science. Reliable stats date only to 1950. History says Minnesota gets 32 tornadoes annually, the lion’s share in the southern and central parts of the state.
When they have targeted the metro area, they’ve brought the hammer. The Lake Harriet-Har Mar tornado in 1981 sliced a diagonal path from Edina to Roseville, its girth as much as two and a half blocks wide, producing winds equivalent to Hurricane Katrina’s.
The twister wrecked almost 100 homes, required the summoning of National Guard troops to prevent looting, and claimed one life.
Father Time and Mother Nature are colluding in disaster, according to Dr. Kenny Blumenfeld. Photo by Sasha Landskov.
A smaller tornado hit Rogers in 2006, destroying 50 houses and killing a 10-year-old girl.
Minneapolis’ 2011 tornado was smaller still, yet winds topped out around 100 mph. One man died. Fifty people were injured. Thousands of homes and buildings on the North Side were damaged.
We’ve been lucky, say Blumenfeld and Boulay. Big twisters have spared the Cities for a half-century. Which means we’re due.
“It’s not on a timer,” Blumenfeld says, “but every decade or so you get a big multiple-event tornado outbreak in Minnesota.”
This is what the climatologists worry about. Though consensus is that climate change is having a negligible effect on the volume and severity, the pair believe a warming planet might be causing storms to cluster, spawning three or more tornadoes, say, in a single afternoon.
Outbreaks in recent years have come close to the metro. Fourteen tornadoes touched down to the south in 1998, including one near St. Peter that was more than a mile wide.
A surge in 2010 had 48 storms to the north and south of the Twin Cities, including four powerful enough to erase neighborhoods.
The Twin Cities’ larger geographic target, residents speaking dozens of languages, and fractured communication forms are among the area’s weather liabilities, say Blumenfeld, right, and Boulay. Photo by Sasha Landskov.
“All it would take is one day of bad luck to show us real quick why a tornado outbreak is up there as the most severe disaster event we would face,” says Hennepin County Emergency Management Director Eric Waage.
Now is the calm before the storm. And Mother Nature and Father Time are quietly colluding.
Disaster averted
The terror of 1965 has been dubbed “The Longest Night.” Over a three-hour period, the storms descended like wave after wave of an invading army. Considering there were so many big tornadoes packing such wrecking power that night, the human toll could have easily been in the hundreds rather than 13.
Survivors and students of the outbreak assign credit for lives saved to WCCO radio and an obedient population.
Host Howard Viken was wrapping up his show early that evening when he was interrupted by weather alerts. The program would fast morph into a forebear of Twitter. As funnels formed, calls from eyewitnesses were put on the air. They communicated the danger in real time.
“Nobody had done that before,” says the National Weather Service’s Todd Krause. “It was a brilliant decision. By doing that they were able to pass along that the threat of tornadoes was real, it was right now, and it was immediate. What WCCO radio did that evening saved many, many lives.”
WCCO radio saved many families, like these survivors near Lake Minnetonka, who huddled in basements as twisters football fields wide barreled over them. Photo by Star Tribune staff.
Like June Peterson’s.
Peterson, her husband, and their two kids were tuned in to the broadcast. When they heard a caller from nearby New Brighton say a massive twister was four miles away from their Mounds View home, barreling toward their neighborhood, the family fled to the basement. Just in time.
The Petersons were alive yet bloodied, looking up at the nighttime sky within minutes. The storm ripped away everything, the floor joists included.
“There was so much noise, and concrete blocks were flying everywhere,” June says. “When it was over, it took us some time to realize the entire house was gone because it was so dark out.”
If people weren’t near a radio, they likely heeded the warning sirens. The outbreak marked the first time the Twin Cities’ public alert system was ever used.
“Based on the number of people killed and hurt, the system in 1965 worked,” says Waage. “It worked because it was the Cold War and everybody was well-trained. They knew they needed to take shelter when they heard the sirens, and that’s exactly what they did.”
Many worry that modern-day Minnesota isn’t prepared to respond so dutifully.
The fear of an impending tornado disaster in the Twin Cities is real for state climatologists Boulay, left, and Blumenfeld. Photo by Sasha Landskov.
Slouching toward tedium
More people. A diversifying population. A larger metro. Together, they expose the Twin Cities as a soft target like never before.
In 1965, the population of the metro was two million tops.
“We think back to that night in 1965 and those tornadoes, and the one that went by Waconia and up toward Mound,” says Krause, “and much of the area south of there was all farmland. Now, you’ve got subdivisions.”
The region today is home to roughly 3.5 million residents.
“It’s really just a pure numbers game,” says St. Paul Emergency Management Director Rick Larkin. “The exposure, if you want to use that term, is just so much greater, so the potential is there for mass casualties.”
That makes for a 3,000-square-mile bull’s-eye where in excess of 100 languages are spoken.
More than 90 percent of Minnesotans were white and spoke English in 1965. Today, languages like Spanish, Hmong, and Cushite are spoken in some 500,000 households.
“So when we’re talking about public safety warnings, the language is an area of concern, but it’s more than just language,” says Lillian McDonald, director of ECHO, an outreach group working on multilingual communication.
There’s no word for tornado in Somali. Hmong has “storm-like,” but no direct translation. Some of the state’s newer residents, who’ve heard sirens being tested, have misinterpreted them as harbingers of a military attack.
“So basically, if you’re not privileged and you don’t speak English,” Blumenfeld says, “getting the critical information that could save your life and even knowing that it exists is harder.”
McDonald saw firsthand how Hurricane Katrina blindsided New Orleans’ sizable Vietnamese community.
“They didn’t know what was coming or how to prepare for it,” she says, “because there was no mechanism in place to reach them.”
How to warn people who struggle with English is a question without good answers. Then there’s the stubborn impediment of insouciance: We slack on tornadoes because we can.
“The return time for tornadoes in Minnesota, and especially in the Twin Cities, unfortunately, is long enough there’s geographical forgetting,” says Waage.
In other words, geography affords us a short-term memory, which enables a laziness toward peril.
That isn’t the case in places like Oklahoma.
“If you lived [there] and get one of these huge tornadoes every five years or so, you’re extremely tuned in and have a lot of advance measures in place,” Waage says. “They shut down schools, have shelters specifically built for tornadoes. If there’s enough advance warning people will leave their city and go somewhere else.”
Oklahomans did all those things in 2013 as a twister descended upon Moore, a city of 50,000 people. A witness called it “a giant wall of destruction.”
It was a mile and a half wide and released energy estimated to be eight times greater than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
It hit during the afternoon rush hour, ensnaring commuters on choked roadways, reducing nearly 1,200 homes to slabs. One hundred horses were found tangled in power lines and tossed atop buildings.
Two dozen people died, including seven children. Hundreds more were hurt. Damage totaled $2 billion.
And it all happened in 47 minutes.
“If there’s one area that’s our soft underbelly, it’s a complacency of the public,” says Waage. “In our area, we try, the media outlets try, and the forecasters and TV weather people are trying to tell people this is out there. But I worry there’s a significant chunk of people who aren’t listening because they haven’t had to.”
Today’s communication labyrinth compounds the complacency, according to St. Paul’s Larkin. A local person can be globally in-the-know, listening to the BBC’s coverage of a terrorist attack in Turkey while unaware of a tornado sighting only miles away.
In 1965, ’CCO was a news source for up to 70 percent of Minnesotans. Today, that figure is just 5 percent. The two highest-rated stations, KOOL 108 and KS95, together don’t have a third of the listeners ’CCO had when twisters hit five decades ago.
The “many thousands” of outlets competing for attention screams red flag to Waage: “If you’re not careful in your selection to what you’re tuned into, a person can be oblivious and could quickly find themselves in some real danger.”
It all adds up to a very plausible worst-case scenario.
Say it’s the post-work rush hour, which happens to coincide with prime tornado time. Moms, kids, college students on break are preoccupied, doing their summertime thing. Sirens go off. Some heed, many don’t. Thousands of commuters listen to alerts on the radio, but are trapped on highways with nowhere to go. In some homes throughout the region, the warnings flashing in English are meaningless because viewers don’t understand the language.
“We try to tell people, ‘Pay attention!” says Blumenfeld. “This is important. It happened before and will again. It matters to the safety of your family, your neighborhood, your school.’ But when you try to convey that to people, it’s like trying to describe to them the dream you had the other night.”
Don Rossbach has been trying for 51 years. The 88-year-old lives in a different house, but on the same Lois Drive that was steamrolled by 200 mph winds and machine-gunned by debris.
An Army vet who’d been stationed in Japan at the end of World War II, Rossbach wore a can-do virility. When he arrived home from work in Mounds View in May ’65, he wasn’t too keen when his late wife, Dolores, ordered him down to the basement.
The Rossbachs and their children hunkered down for hours, listening to ’CCO on a transistor. Reports came from Carver County and Deephaven. An hour later someone spotted the night’s fifth twister west of Mounds View and headed toward Blaine. Fifty minutes after that an eyewitness warned of yet another big storm. It had touched down in Golden Valley and was making a beeline for Lois Drive.
Rossbach looked out the basement window. Lightning flashed. The air wasn’t breathing. He was mortified to see a neighbor painting the kitchen. Another man was outside surveying the western sky. Rossbach turned the radio off. He told his wife and kids to listen.
The winds angered in a moment. Glass exploded. Don and Dolores shielded the children with hunched bodies. Dolores strained to stay in position as the storm’s vacuum tried to suck her into the gyre.
“If you’ve ever heard a nail being pulled out of a board,” says Don, “it sounded like a thousand carpenters pulling nails, ripping stuff apart. You didn’t even know if the wind was blowing. It was the sound of destruction.”
Or annihilation.
Clouds on the horizon
In May 2011, storms riddled much of the country from Texas to Canada, east to Pennsylvania and South Carolina. Their scope stupefied. Nearly 250 twisters in six days.
Hours after one hit north Minneapolis and areas northeast, a giant ploughed into Joplin, Missouri, a city of 50,000 people. More than 150 died, 1,200 were injured, with destruction pushing $3 billion.
“I had thought we’d licked large-scale deaths due to a tornado because of our technology, because of the early warnings,” Blumenfeld says. “Then we had Joplin.”
Survivors of the mile-wide Joplin storm, who’d ignored weather alerts, complained of warning fatigue. They’d heard the same sirens on countless occasions when little or nothing came. Why should they have thought this time was different?
“This is the horribly difficult part of the job of forecasters,” says Larkin. “I can tell you because I’m in the room with these men and women, and they struggle to say, ‘When do we put out a warning for this? Or when do we put up a watch that conditions are ripe?’
“People say, ‘Well, they just say that all the time.’ With our Facebook, fast food mentality, I think folks expect with all this technology and this super duper radar [that we can forecast] there’ll be severe weather at this time and this place, and I can tell you we’re just not there.”
The National Weather Service in Chanhassen now tests its sirens once a month. It was weekly before Joplin. Other jurisdictions have decided not to sound the alarm for severe thunderstorms or winds less than 70 mph.
When danger is imminent, the Weather Service presses “the ENTER button and the warnings go out to the whole world through the internet and out into every direction,” Krause says.
Emergency management personnel saturate the area using every means possible, from TV to Twitter, cell phones to battle-tested outlets like ’CCO.
Some inroads have been made within non-English speaking populations.
St. Paul has run radio spots about emergency preparedness on the Hmong station. ECHO and Minnesota Public Television have tested alerts translated into Spanish, Somali, and Hmong on public TV.
“Are we where we need to be?” asks ECHO’s McDonald. “No. It’s sort of being done now as best as folks can.”
This, to Blumenfeld, is not close to being enough.
“I fear we have a big severe weather outbreak that causes huge destruction, and I and people who care about this issue are left with a hopeless feeling, asking, ‘What did we do wrong?’” | http://www.citypages.com/news/a-catastrophic-tornado-is-coming-to-minnesota-its-not-if-but-when/391793411 | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.citypages.com/4461ca0241d871b45003ed9d75d050696d55e5a3a7eac8cec20c9b7861a5c91b.json |

He created Yule Log 2.0 (watchyulelog.com), a collaborative art project where animators around the world reimagine the famous Yule log fireplace. He has worked with the New York Times, Herman Miller, and Google, he’s taught design and animation at NYU and SVA, and he’s won a bunch of design industry awards you probably haven’t heard of.
“I was excited to do this, even though I have no authority on the topic,” said Daniel Savage, award-winning independent designer. “But I surprisingly felt pretty confident in my answers, as ridiculous as they may be.”
I’m a 41-year-old straight woman who stayed a virgin way longer than I should have (thank you, church and cultural slut shaming). I wasn’t 100 percent “good,” i.e., I was one of those “not PIV = not really sex” girls, so I indulged in outercourse and other “cheats.” When I finally realized that “not until marriage” wasn’t working for me and did the real thing, I discovered I loved it. Go me, right? Unfortunately, I’m not good at dating, so I usually go a long time between relationships. The relationship I’m in now is the first one I’ve had in two years. “Guy” is nice to me—calls me beautiful, sticks up for me, comes to watch me play with a community orchestra (my own family and friends don’t even come to my shows). But we don’t have much in common (hobbies, political outlook, religious beliefs) and sometimes our conversations feel labored. But that’s okay, right? At least I’m getting my sexual needs met, right? Well, no. Every single time we’ve tried to have sex, Guy either can’t get hard or stays hard for only a few minutes. I’ve tried going down on him, using my hands, different positions—nothing works. He’s never had an orgasm with me. We don’t even kiss that much. I don’t say anything because I don’t want to hurt his feelings and because I’m really grateful to him for wanting to be with me and being nice to me. He says sorry and that he’s asked the doctor about it, but we don’t get anywhere. It feels lonelier than when I was single. To be blunt, I don’t want to date him anymore. But I feel too guilty to break up with him. He really cares about me, and he didn’t do anything wrong. We’ve dated for four months, and I don’t know if I’m giving up too soon. Where would I be if previous boyfriends had ditched me for being inexperienced instead of showing me the ropes? Don’t I owe Guy the same thing?
Too Down To Be Witty
First off, I think a long time between relationships is good. I also think not having things in common can be okay if you create new hobbies and experiences you can share.
Having said that, TDTBW, four months is plenty of time to know if it’s working. He sounds super boring. The sooner you break it off with him the better. You don’t want to hurt him any more than you have to, especially if he’s really into you, and the longer you draw it out, the more it’s going to hurt. No amount of “training” is going to get this dude hard. The only rope being shown here is his flaccid ding-dong. It doesn’t seem like you even want to be his friend if you broke up.
I wouldn’t feel guilty at all about dumping him. Sometimes you gotta think about number one.
My girl and I are both 26, and we opened up our marriage. Now I’ve got a girlfriend with whom I am getting to have some of the kinky fun that was lacking at home. Here is my question: Things are really casual between me and this new girl. I want to do some pegging, but I don’t know who should buy the strap-on? Me, because it’s my ass and my idea? Or her, because she would wear it and would also think it was super hot? Should I buy the dildo and she buys the harness? Going halfsies on the whole rig? What is the equitable way of doing this?
Purchasing Erotic Gear Good Etiquette, Dan?
You’re 26 years old, PEGGED, buy the damn thing. How much could it possibly cost? I know if I were in your situation, I would want full control over what goes up my ass. If she owns it, would she use it while you weren’t around? With strangers? No thanks. Plus if you split the cost, who gets to keep it when you break up? Just buy it and enjoy. If you struggle with picking it out, might I suggest starting small?
I’ve always enjoyed reading your column—maybe I just get turned on by other people’s sexual endeavors or maybe reading about other people’s sexual frustrations makes my situation seem better in comparison. So what am I writing about? Well, I suppose the question is this: When does one just become blatantly ungrateful? I’ve been in a two-year mixed relationship (she’s Native and 24, I’m white and 29), and we fight a lot. She cheated on me a couple times early in the relationship. She says I pressured her into getting into a relationship when she wasn’t ready to “settle down,” which I suppose I could see. My problem is I have a handjob fetish and my girlfriend has a disinterest in it, to the point where she just won’t do it. But why am I bitching? I get laid every day for the most part, surprise blowjobs, 69ing, you name it. Should I accept this as fate? But just this morning, we went for round two, and I was having a hard time coming, and out of nowhere she pops up and jerks me off till climax. It really took me back. Would it be bad to fake having coming issues in hopes she does it again? Is that unfair?

It’s interesting that your problem isn’t the fact that she cheated on you, TG, or the relationship problems, or the constant fighting. No, it’s the lack of handjob enthusiasm. Honestly, man, it seems like you have much deeper issues here—but the handjob problem is the only concrete thing you point to?
The girlfriend you’ve got sounds super selfish, and finding a new girl—one who wouldn’t cheat on you and would be excited to jump into a relationship AND be down with a little tug—isn’t going to be that difficult of a task. I mean, your fetish seems like it’s an easy one to explore.
But to answer your actual question: I would go ahead and fake it. Fuck it, lie to her. It seems like she has no issues lying to you!
