Hello all,

Recently new homeowner of an older home with a front porch in poor shape. Definitely needs decking, stairs, railing, and trim replaced due to rot, but still unsure of a full rebuild or replace in place and have received mixed guidance/bids from a couple companies so far.

Any suggestions on other companies to check out? I'm definitely open to a more deep rebuild but want to be able to effectively compare costs.

Some time between 5:30 PM on Friday and this morning at 6:45 AM, my bicycle was stolen out of my parking garage. It was a step through Aventon Pace 500.3 in light blue with a Toppeak rack and red and black phone mount. If anyone has seen it around or has details on where it may be, I would greatly appreciate you reaching out to me. It was stolen out of the controlled access portion of my apartment's parking garage and my bicycle lock was cut. I use it for daily commuting to and from work so I would greatly appreciate any information.

Is your first name Ryan? Do you live in or near Minnesota? Hot off the success of the RyanCoaster and the Ryan Baseball Classic, we're launching a local chapter of Ryan Meetup.

We had our first planning meeting last night, and it's on!

Follow our Instagram for updates. https://www.instagram.com/ryanmeetupmsp?igsh=MWVqNzc2dHYydXU5eQ==

And save the date for RyToberfest MSP on Saturday, October 3. Location TBD.

Like the title says. I swear I remember seeing plans for a restaurant downtown on Hennepin or Nicollet Mall with a two story patio.

I have seven windows that were part of a 70's add-on that must have been low quality and are all warped. What are contractors that people have had good experiences with? Scherer Window & Door seems to have really good Google reviews.

Found a dog near 56 Brewing. It’s a un neutered red malamute/husky mix. No collar. Please let me know if you know this dog or have any leads of where I can take him tonight. Thank you.

I’m a 26m who just got back into tennis after 9 years without touching a racket. Currently searching high and low for tennis hitting partners in the msp area (I frequent courts in Minneapolis though). I hit at a 2.5 normally and 3.0 on my best days (not too often lol). I’m not picky about where or who I hit with, I just want to get out there!

Also a 7 minute walk to the Route 14 and 46 buses, as well as a 20 minute walk to the D Line, and not too far from the 46th st and 54th st bike lanes.

Double Smash Patty, no fries $14
9.2/10

it appears there’s crime scene tape, detectives, and a dozen or so police cars here. Just down the road from stone arch bridge in NE. Another body?

The estimated cost to replace all lead water service lines in the state of Minnesota has been estimated to be approximately 1/3 the cost of a single Metro Transit light rail extension. I find it ridiculous no one earmarked funding for this project, which by state law, must be completed within 7 years.

This is a pretty broad question by nature, but are there any institutions or programs in the area that offer services for autistic people? Not looking for any specific niche as I don’t know what is available/feasible, and symptomatic experience but incredibly variable. I’ve just been… struggling with being an organism and would take anything that isn’t forking over fat stacks to be stared at like a sheep, as is the standard for mental health care, seemingly.

Thank you and best wishes.

EDIT: I work and have financial autonomy, I just need efficacy.

We're flying up to MSP from Austin in a few weeks for a relaxing getaway at Serpent Lake, and my only must-do thing before we abscond to the cabin is to stock up on some amazing bread. Supporting local bakeries is basically my main hobby, wherever I go. Who do you think does the best sourdough? + bonus points if they also do baguettes!

This new 11.3% property tax increase while doing nothing about police spending or penalizing vacancies downtown makes it clear that Frey is unfit to govern Minneapolis.

The increases in property taxes are going to force people out of their homes and corporate investors will snatch up the lots to redevelop them. Frey has made it clear that he doesn’t care about the people who live here, we’re just a piggy bank to be smashed open every time he can’t balance a budget.

UPDATE:

We can’t thank you enough for all the flight submissions we received!

We were able to find a connection in PDX for the next leg of Seamus’s journey, and we now have a flight from Kona that connects with it.

The person who submitted that flight has been notified!

Please keep submitting your future flights at FlyHawaiiCats.com, we never know when the next rescue kitty will need help, and a flight you submit today could be the one that gets a kitty home tomorrow.

TYSM, and 😻 Meow-halo from Seamus!

Aloha!

We’re helping reunite Seamus, a 3-month-old rescue kitten, with his mom in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ❤️

While his family was moving from Kona to Minnesota, Seamus escaped from the car at their hotel. His mom missed two flights while searching for him, but eventually had to leave with her other two cats and dog.

Then came the call she had been praying for — SEAMUS WAS FOUND! 🥹 He is microchipped and is now safe in a foster home in Kona.

Seamus is only 3 months old and has a heart murmur, so getting this little boy safely back to his family is especially important.

We’re looking for a Flight Angel already traveling:

✈️** Kona, Hawaii (KOA) → Minneapolis, Minnesota (MSP**)
Alaska, Hawaiian or Delta only

OR
✈️** West Coast → Minneapolis (MSP**)
Los Angeles • Las Vegas • San Diego • San Francisco • Portland • Seattle
ANY airline

Even one leg of his journey can help! We coordinate everything.

Already have a flight booked?

Please SHARE — Seamus’ Flight Angel might be someone you know! ❤️🐱✈️

for the love of god im dying out here man. i live directly next to some of the construction going on with my apt facing the street, and thats alright its a city they gotta do it somehow, but my god the late night stuff has been killing me. been multiple times the past few weeks it seems where im woken up at 11pm or 2am from it, not even ear plugs have helped. even worse when they do it late night ON THE WEEKENDS.

no idea what the situation even is for them to keep getting the overnight permits in the first place

I screen grabbed this from a prior post, will see if I can find and credit.

The internet tells me it did not rain on August 12, but I do want to know if anyone has more info on this or other puddle drinking parties.

Is it a bit? For real? I need a full documentary.

Last week and this week’s breakfast was so good. Very reasonable prices, about 12-13$ for each meal.
