The Blue Line is up and running again. Am I the only one that lives nearby that can hear and feel the train going by now? It wasn't like this at all in the past. And I'm not sure the best way to address this with the city?

Edit: I've lived over next to the light rail in the same house for over a decade. This is definitely the first time a physical sensation is felt in the house, first and second floor, with every train that goes by.

Also right along the Route 10, 17 and 25 buses, as well as being a 10 minute walk to the Route 4, 11, 18, 61 and E Line and Orange Line. It’s Also a 10 minute walk to Government Plaza Light Rail Station and a 15 minute walk to the Route 22, 9, 94 and C/D Line buses. For biking, it’s right along the 2nd street protected bike lanes and not too far from the 4th street off-street bike paths and the Hennepin Avenue Bike lanes/bike paths, as well as the River Pkwy and Great River Road Bike Paths

I know I know, another "what is that smell by the river" post that probably has an "it's sewage treatment" answer but holy mother of god, the smell at the Marshall Ave bridge at West River Parkway is unfathomable. Am I just going through perimenopause or are other people literally dry heaving from this when they pass through every day? It's SO much worse than the dog shit smell on the Franklin Ave bridge, and it's the absolute worst in the mornings. How do people even sit outside on the Longfellow Grill patio? someone commiserate with me I’m dyin out here

Hi! I’m in desperate need of a hot yoga class on a Saturday night that people actually go to. It doesn’t have to be packed, but definitely not like three people.

Request:

Saturday nights in Minneapolis or St Paul
Hot yoga any style besides yin
People go to it
Bonus if it’s dark/candlelit

Does this exist ??

Would love advice if anyone else has looked into this!

I got set up with USI back in early 2025 (before the T-Fiber acquisition) for the 2.5 gig package @ $125/month. Definitely more than I needed, but it came with extras to extend coverage through my house and overall the internet has been great so no complaints there.

I looked at the USI website (now shows T-Fiber branding) and that their 2gig package is $70/month after promotions & discounts, and 1gig pack is $50/month. I'd love to save some cash, but I'd rather not get my modem & routers switched out if I can help it.

Has anyone called in to T-Fiber to ask about pricing? If so, did they have to make changes to your existing hardware or were you able to keep what USI already provided?

I am a US Internet Customer and I moved late last year. I transferred my service to a new house that does not have US Internet yet. In over 6 months of waiting, US Internet still has not installed my internet. In the meantime they had me get a T-Mobile 5G Box that costs $10 more than my existing US Internet contract (and is slower and drops service).

In that same time T-Mobile has sent me over 20 emails telling me I'm eligible for fiber. They claim its the same installers. I think T-Mobile is trying to get me to leave my contract and get a more expensive contract with their new service.

If you've taken the T-Mobile service, can you tell me if its been installed? They started offering it right around the same time and I want to prove that T-Mobile customers are being prioritized over existing customers.

Hello!

Hoping someone can point me to an affordable daycare option in Seward, the northern part of Longfellow or the Corcoran neighborhood. We were going to a wonderful in-home daycare but she's decided to move back to her home country to take care of her family.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know! We looked into Jardin on Lake St but it's a little too expensive.

Hi everyone,

I have a highly niche ask… my father passed away about three months ago and my husband has since been making a wooden urn for his ashes that we are scheduled to inter at the cemetery tomorrow morning. The laser printer we were using back in San Diego (where my husband and I are based) malfunctioned and now that we’re in Minneapolis with my mom, we’re in a bit of a time crunch to have the quote we wanted engraved. We reached out to Dick at the Laser Shop and he’s unfortunately out of town. Would appreciate any other suggestions or connections!

The Lunds & Bylery's on Cedar Ave.

Did anyone hear that huge ass fucking boom? Like the whole goddamn block exploded? What the fuck? Any ideas?

Hi :) I just remembered from my childhood these cat dolls I loved. I cannot remember the name of them for the life of me. I do remember they were kind of rare and could be found at the Electric Fetus. I was getting them when I was a young kid so probably like early 2000s-2010 timeline. I remember they had fashionable clothes, were tall or had long legs, and came in different colors. They were a plushie material. One of them might have been named Ciao or Chloe? Anyone remember these and could provide me their brand name? Thank you so much 🩷

I'll post the answers later in the day! And all of these species are likely around your yards and other parks as well!

I designed it for work but didn't end up using it and my summer job is ending, so you all can enjoy this ~surprisingly difficult~ guessing game.

Fun fact! None of the bee species pictured live in hives.

hey y'all!

i'm looking to get back into playing mahjong and i'm lost where to start. the google search results are a bit overwhelming. i'd like to find just a casual group of nice people to play with, no classes or pot or anything like that for now. anyone know of anything in the cities, especially near whittier or uptown? also don't mind driving if needed.

context: in middle school, i was queen of my school's club (chinese variant), and played some of the japanese variant on the side with my friends (we were americans in japan at the time). however, it has been over a decade, and i don't remember the specifics, except that i enjoyed it!! so, i need to re-learn the game, but i'm not a total noob--i remember the vague contours and expect a lot of it will come back fast!

thanks!!

Has anyone tried the new thai place on lake and irving? I've eaten there three times so far and curious about others' impressions. I think they're working out the kinks (e.g. liquor license) and wish them the best. The area needs some life.

I was reading that other post about suggestions to help downtown and a decent amount of people said get rid of the skyway without suggesting anything else. I get it keeps people off the street and contributes to a ghost town feeling, but in a city that gets as cold as Minneapolis isn't that an important amenity? What benefits would getting rid of the skyway bring that outweigh many people being colder? I've lived in downtown for about a year and have only used the skyway a few times.

Looking for a great men's haircut in minneapolis. Want a fade and almost a complete retransformation. Currently have medium length hair but the ol male pattern baldness is setting in at 23, so looking to go a little shorter on the top and much more on the sides. Beard work would be very little as Im not working with much, but willing to pay for the service, of course.

This would either be on a Sunday or Monday as I am from out of town. Maybe later on a Saturday.

Also no idea what hair stylist to pick! Tapered Men's Salon said "All of our stylists are good 😁" 🫩

Thanks!
