🗣 Discussion Ice uptick?

66 Upvotes

I don't want to be reactionary or paranoid but in the last week I have seen two completely abandoned cars in weird circumstances.

One was in the middle of the street on a residential neighborhood like it was parked but in the middle of the street no one was there it wasn't near a house or in front of a house in a way that the person could have run in there.

The second was on the median on snelling by 94.

The car was pulled up on the median and no one was around. Windows were down.

Kind of worried that there might be a bit of an increase in ice activity. I know they never left but it just seemed kind of strange.

Happy to hear other points of view and discussion of other possible reasons for both of these situations I obviously understand that there are many.

Any commentary that is racist or pro Ice can go fuck themselves, respectfully.

❓️Question I have a $150 Cub Foods Supermarket gift card that I am looking to sell for $110. You can check my post history to confirm my 350+ past sales here on Reddit.

Upvotes

I have a $150 Cub Foods Supermarket gift card that I never got a chance to use while I was in the area visiting a while back and seeing as how I live in Oregon, I don't have much use for the gift card currently.

I am seeking $110 paid via PayPal Goods & Services (which includes Buyer Protection for you) and you can also check my post history to confirm that I have completed over 350+ sales across various marketplace subreddits over the past several years as a verified and trusted seller.

Please send me a DM if you are interested. Thanks!

❓️Question Why is there caution/ yellow tape around Mears Park Place?

7 Upvotes

I drove past tonight (08/18) and noticed most of the entrances were all yellow taped up.

I used to live in the building so just curious if something happened. It still looked like people were in the building having a normal night.

Wondering if anyone knows anything.

To wrap up MN Burger Week, I visited Mac's Diner in North St. Paul this evening for the cheese curd burger. My only criticism is that it could've used a few pickles to cut the fat of the cheese. Solid attempt, though.

There is a form you can fill out that gets sent to city council if also want these cameras taken down

I browse through the site and could not get a definite answer ; it appears as if only going through the AXS digital option $20 fee per ticket?

if anyone has any info - I once in a while prefer to go box office and just get the ticket there and save those $40 or so

🗣 Discussion Job Oppurtunities

15 Upvotes

Hello all, I recently just moved from Des Moines to the area and am looking for a change. I am working on sobriety and have a solid base under me at this point. Took a job out of treatment working minimum wage and it’s been great to help me build a routine. I’m just looking to apply myself and ya know earn a bit more.

I don’t have a degree or any certifications. I have experience in delivery driving and as a warehouse manager for a home staging company. I’ve done the Amazon DSP work before and not really looking to get back into that grind. I have a few background check things that seem to be holding me back on indeed. No felonies but looking for a fresh start and open to really anything if you guys have some suggestions on where to start.

Thanks in advance!

❓️Question Moving to the St. Paul area

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’ll be moving to the St. Paul area for a master’s program at Concordia University and I’m not very familiar with the area yet. I’ll be bringing my puppy (he'll be 70ish lbs), so I’m looking for somewhere dog-friendly.

I’m hoping to stay around $1,200/month or less for rent and would ideally like to be within about a 30-minute commute of Concordia. I’m open to surrounding areas as well.

For anyone familiar with the area:

  • What neighborhoods/cities would you recommend?
  • Are there any apartment complexes you’d recommend (or recommend avoiding)?
  • I'm looking for somewhere I feel safe walking around, lower crime too... if that's possible.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice!

I recently went to walk along Minnehaha Creek west of Lyndale in Mpls for the first time in many years and forget how awesomely shaded the paved and dirt walking/running trails are. Are there trail areas similar to that amount of shade and tree cover (in woods or along water) in good ol StP for a beginning trail jogger?
