tbh every person I've known who does organization in an arts community either eventually moves to do so in a larger city, usually as a paid position, or eventually rededicates their effort toward a more fulfilling career in their existing community
that's not really a community shortcoming or tragedy, change is good

Who will fill this void of "aging hipster lady that works a corporate gig but has an artsy side that she uses to define herself"? Might as well pack up the city and move on I guess.

Some people don't get the economics like OK let's imagine Cheapo could afford even 100K a month in rent. That's not going to compete with a new building where they'll do 3 storefronts with 30k rents and then 200 units at 1500 or more a pop

EZ - the Falls park is great, beautiful waterfall in south mpls, go on as weekday if you can, there is a great lunch place called Sea Salt where you can get po boys and oysters and fish etc & beer....lots of trails to explore. Good place to get "nice" and walk strong around if you are so inclined

KEEP ON 'MOCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
Summertime and the livin’ is easy in South Minneapolis, where many of the teens have been practicing the fine art of hammocking – or 'mocking, as the kids say – since early spring. At all times of day and night, bat kids in their portable vinyl caves can be seen hanging amid the tall pines of Lake Harriet’s Rose and Peace Gardens, among other favorite hangs.
“Hang.” That, along with “chill” and “relax,” is the word used most by the ‘mockers to describe their attraction to the non-activity of whiling away hours in the trees, talking with their friends, and listening to music, the birds, water fountains, and rain. Because of easy bike access to a multitude of nearby lakes, creeks, and the Mississippi River, Minneapolis is particularly fertile ground for a full-on ‘mocking craze, and right on cue, area sporting goods stores tell Minnpost they can’t keep hammocks in stock this summer.

“It’s chill vibes here, and a good place to come to be one with nature. It’s good to be so high,” said Richards. “It’s like an activity, but we’re not doing anything,” said Bayer. “At first I saw people doing it by the lake, and I wondered what that was, but now it’s just go with the flow,” said Sanders. “Like, if my friend gets one, I’m gonna try and get one. If I see him on a ‘mock, I want a ‘mock, and someone sees me with a ‘mock, they want a ‘mock. It’s a great wave in the city. We’re teenagers. Instead of rotting our brains inside, we’re outside. Chill vibe.”
