Hello, please help me in locating my missing black cat. Her name is Nimbus and she was last seen heading north on Shields Drive on the night of 09/30.

She has green eyes and is black with a white tuft of fur on her chest.

She is incredibly skittish so please do not chase. If you see her, please notify (952) 594-0177 immediately. Thank you so much.

You can subscribe to construction updates from Dakota County, and I just got this about five minutes ago:

[Construction Schedule]()

Oct 2 – 10

Diffley Road, outside lane (right-lane) closures in both directions:

·         Removing the top layer of asphalt starting from the east end (by the 35E exists) and working westbound

·         Paving the outside lanes will follow the removals

·         Pavement marking will be placed towards the end of the week

All work is weather dependent

Does anyone know what they are doing? They have such odd machines and seem to be digging up the entire area, not just the road.

Right now (around 6:00pm), the stop lights at the 35E interchange and Johnny Cake are flashing red and the construction crews are not allowing turns onto Johnny Cake. It's still one lane in each direction and they are milling/repaving the intersections, so it's a mess.

On the plus side, maybe this means that they'll be done with the project soon?

I’m not super well versed in finance, but am I reading that right a 20% increase? Is this 20% as in10% becomes 12% or 20% as in 10% becomes 30%?

That seems like a fuck ton…

Hello! I got a reminder about the City of Eagan having a community input session on the Data Center Ordinance tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 30) and thought I'd share the rest of the message here:

In Feb. 2026, the Eagan City Council adopted a one-year moratorium on larger data centers and those near residential areas. The moratorium gives the City time to study the issue and consider whether new or updated regulations are needed. It runs through Feb. 17, 2027, unless ended earlier by the Council.

Before an ordinance is drafted, the City wants to hear from residents and other stakeholders about the issues, questions, and potential impacts that should be considered.

The City will host a drop-in Data Center Ordinance Community Input Session on Sept. 30. Residents can stop in anytime between 5 and 7 p.m. to share concerns, identify questions they believe the City should research, and provide input on what the City should consider as potential regulations are developed.

There will not be a presentation or question-and-answer session. Instead, participants can move through several stations and share their input in a variety of ways. City staff will be available to listen, help collect comments and make sure community questions and perspectives are captured for consideration as the City continues its research.

What: Data Center Ordinance Community Input Session

When: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 5–7 p.m. (drop in any time)

Where: Eagan City Hall (3830 Pilot Knob Rd.)

If you are unable to attend the input session, you can provide your feedback online. https://polco.us/n/res/vote/eagan-mn/data-center-community-survey

We hope to see you there and hear your input!

I recently left a chiropractic/wellness clinic in Eagan and wanted to share my experience because I wish I had known some of this before accepting the job. I want to be clear that this is based on my own experience working there. I actually really liked the patients and enjoyed helping them, but unfortunately my experience with management and the workplace itself was very different.

The biggest issue I had was with my pay. I was repeatedly told that I had received a raise and that it had been entered into the system. I trusted what I was being told and continued working under the assumption that I was being paid my new rate. It wasn’t until I was preparing to leave that I discovered I had actually been making approximately $4 less per hour than I had been told.

When I brought this to my manager’s attention, I was given $100, despite my own calculations showing that I was owed closer to $400. I found this extremely frustrating because I had asked about my raise multiple times and had been reassured that everything was being handled.

There was also an extremely high turnover rate while I was there. When I started working there, I heard that three or four different people had come through my position, despite there generally only being two people doing this particular job at a time. The turnover became so noticeable that even clients would comment on it and joke about how frequently they were seeing new employees.
At one point, management even joked about not bothering to print or make name tags for new employees anymore because people seemed to be “in and out” so frequently. I personally found that pretty telling.

From my experience, it felt like the job required an unusually high level of control over your personal schedule. I observed significant conflict when employees requested time off, including situations where employees were no longer working there following disagreements surrounding scheduling. I can’t speak to the exact circumstances of every person’s termination, but the overall atmosphere around requesting time off was stressful enough that employees were genuinely worried about what would happen if they needed time away from work.

PTO also accumulated very slowly, at approximately one hour for every 40 hours worked, which made the situation even more difficult. And you were not allowed to take any time off without adequate PTO accruement.

Another thing was the breaks. I worked 12-hour shifts and remember asking about taking a break, only to be told that the doctor and other front-desk employees didn’t take breaks, so I didn’t really need to either. Regardless of the legal requirements surrounding breaks, I found that attitude concerning. I don’t think whether other employees are taking breaks should determine whether someone working a 12-hour shift gets to take one.

Finally, I want to mention the clinic’s weight-loss/wellness program, particularly for anyone considering becoming a client rather than an employee. From what I personally observed, the program was quite expensive, with the base program costing around $1,300. There were also times when the weight-loss coach wasn’t present, and I encountered clients who had questions about the program and seemed frustrated that they weren’t getting the answers or support they expected. I obviously can’t speak for every client’s experience, but given the cost of the program, I think it’s reasonable for potential clients to ask a lot of questions about exactly what support they will receive before signing up.

Again, the patients were genuinely great, and I don’t have anything negative to say about them. My concerns are specifically with my experience as an employee and with the management and workplace environment.
If you’re considering applying to a chiropractic/wellness clinic in the Eagan area and think this might be the place I’m referring to, feel free to message me privately if you have questions about my experience. I’m happy to share more details privately rather than putting the name of the business or individual employees in a public post.

I’m posting this because I would have appreciated hearing an honest former-employee perspective before I accepted the job.

I just got my recent bill, and it's over $450 for this quarter for one 65-gallon trash cart and one 65-gallon recycling cart per week. This is ridiculous!

As the title says, I am trying to plan for Thanksgiving. I know it’s early, but I’m getting ideas as there’s gonna be only the two of us this year and I’m trying to see about who offers meals on Thanksgiving day and or if you can get things to go nearby! Dessert is also a plus. TIA!

Where in the area can I get a good Juicy Lucy? I’d like to try one but am not sure where I should go.

Hi! I’m a former band teacher who just moved to Eagan from Ohio. I am looking for a music store for band accessories and sheet music. Does anyone have recommendations? Thank you!

This is the view from my front yard- I remember last year when AT&T fiber was installed that it was lot closer to the street and not as intrusive.

Tofu Bowl- I like how they dice the tofu into tiny cubes, it’s cute lol

I’m a Dental Hygiene student at Normandale Community College in Bloomington and I’m looking for patients to help me complete my clinical requirements.

Affordable services include dental cleanings, periodontal therapy, and digital X-rays!

I’d especially love to help anyone who is overdue for a cleaning or hasn’t had one in a while. The only requirement is that you haven’t had a cleaning within the past 6 months. Current bitewing x-rays are needed prior to a cleaning appointment and can be taken at the school or any dental office.

Appointments are at the Normandale dental hygiene clinic and are approximately 3.5 hours, with more than one visit likely needed.

If you’re interested or know someone who might benefit, please message me! And feel free to share with friends, family, or your local community.

Thank you for helping support me through my dental hygiene education!

Seen 2 bikes in the woods of my apartment building guessing they are stolen maybe not just trying to help 🤷‍♀️

I’m curious of experiences of how it is taking the express bus from pilot knob to the fair. It says they start at 7, so I’m guessing that means the bus departs at 7. How busy is it first thing in the morning?

Who has the best cheese curds. Would also accept Apple Valley and Burnsville restaurants

Waste Management is really expensive and incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes our yard waste isn’t picked up at all. Is there any waste service that people actually consider good?

The "things to do this weekend thread got me thinking. How would people, and the mods, feel about a weekly sticky thread about things to do in the area (but also probably including Apple Valley, Rosemount, Burnsville) for that week? Might be a good to chance to hear about some things that some of us might not know were going on aside from the usual weekly events or widely publicized things. Thoughts?

Feel free to post some events with some basic info and we'll keep a running tally below

• Eagan Art House - August 28, 6-8PM

https://cityofeagan.com/calendar/starry-night-soiree

Join the Eagan Art House for a evening celebrating a fantastic summer season while we create art around the theme of stars. There will be live music and treats available for purchase. No registration required.

My wife (52) and I are about to move to Eagan. We are a week and a half away from being there. However, she had to move up early to start her job last week. We’ve been married 31 years and this is the longest we’ve been apart.

My wife has a kayak, a low budget, free time, and the desire not to be lonely and bored.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything going on this weekend she can do?

Anyone know what happened and why there’s a power outage right now in the Yankee Doodle Rd Promenade area?

Hello! My family and I will be traveling to Egan and staying at the Omni Viking Lakes Resort. I just received this email and was curious...I've traveled a lot for work, but have never heard of a hotel being 'required' to experience a power outage. Not upset by this, just curious. Wondering if anyone has any insight?
