I would like to take the opportunity to thank David Brauer for posting the answer to Goodman, Lane and Benson. I know that it was outside the limits of the size regulation, but it was very important. While many of us enjoy the banter that goes on days to day, the true service of MPLS Issues to

A few thoughts after a quick look: This response demonstrates an outcome of the NRP experience to date; namely, the acquisition of parity in municipal vocabulary. No doubt about it, the folks out there in the 'hoods can talk the talk and walk the walk just like the folks behind the counters in

[Mpls] Today's anti-war demonstration

Greetings, I've gone to a number of demonstrations over the years. Today's march is the largest I've ever seen in Minneapolis. It's hard to judge numbers, but I did pass someone attempting to count the crowd. He had a clicker and was clicking each time approximately 100 people went by. At

Mr. Markus is so correct when he says, So how do we stretch the recipe when there aren't enough eggs? For one thing, we can try for cooperative/collaborative effort. Working together is so much more cost effective than working at cross-purposes. This will be the secret in the near future and

I went to the anti-war protest today too---and it was also the biggest crowd I've seen in a long time. I arrived at Lagoon and Hennepin around 1: 15 and people were already densely packed on the sidewalks. I don't know if the organizers had a parade permit---or if it just happened. But
