i can tell you that nobody who grew up in this neighborhood pronounces it like a finnish tinker telling you how to get to taylor's falls

I'm coming back to the Twin Cities for visit number 2 next month. What new things have appeared in the last year that I must see/do?

Did you go to Minnehaha Falls?

I did not!

Dave’s Ashtanga Yoga & Authentic Yoga Teacher Training in Scottsdale, Arizona

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

Sounds amazing. Adding it to my itinerary.

Also this sounds kinda weird but...Lakewood Cemetary

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.

i miss mpls rn :(

WHAT

hang, relax, & chill

“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.”

full disclosure: i have a 'mock and it is v v chill

ppl be vindictive as fuck about that lion

@djperry1973 otm

mcollum has always been kind of an unremarkable hack imo. i'm open to evidence otherwise but that is how i feel.

lots of upscale urban liberal hot button stuff but not much in the way of anything else that i've seen? not like i pay super close attn tho

the last thing i remember is during the '12 election cycle when her big issue was a move to shame the army out of spending $x million advertising/sponsoring a nascar team

Ugh, this lion is the biggest story in local media here since Adrian Peterson. I am already so over it.
