Is it March yet? Let the madness begin. This coming weekend is the Minnesota

the top division 3 Jr College basketball players in the state as they play
for the MCCC crown.

The results of a Minneapolis Citizen Survey conducted by the City between
Nov. 11, 2001 and Jan. 4 of this year, were presented to the Mayor and City
Council at a study session yesterday. The survey gathered information on
resident priorities and satisfaction with City services among other
From my understanding of the budget proposals,the legislature's plan cut $15
million, the Gov.'s plan would take $150 million. Part of that would be
through a new tax, a sales tax on all districts in the state. That means
purchases the districts make would be taxed. Here in Minneapolis, that

Why select a burger chain?
How about a local Minneapolis vendor? Why not a small business?
Something with a variety of interesting food options? Perhaps ethnic,
different menus in different locations? Lisa McDonald had a great idea
last year - hire a local restaurateur to provide
This is an interesting idea. A few questions quickly come to mind:
Were other local operators given an opportunity to submit proposals to
operate the concessions? (Such as local ice cream shops [Sebastian Joe's
for example], local coffee shops, restaurants?)
How will the issue of property
When I read about Dairy Queen being awarded a contract
to run the refreshment stands at Lakes Harriet and
Calhoun I shared the writer's consternation.
One more quaint amenity that differentiated our town

This is part and parcel of corporate dominance in our
While I REALLY like the product, and would love to buy a DQ in Loring Park,
I totally agree that the last thing we need is some kind of commercial chain

and one I would think/hope would be very receptive to working with the
Does anyone know the answer to this? On
a day as cold as it was this morning, where can homeless individuals take
shelter in Minneapolis?
Are there any day shelters available (similar
to Dorothy Day in St. Paul) where they can keep warm, use the bathroom, get some
coffee, read the paper,

At the risk of enrolling in the Slippery Slope School of Anxiety, I am loathe to see the franchising of our parks in any way. When I was a member of CLIC, one of "our" collective civic embarrassments was the distinction of Minneapolis having the only public park with a liquor store on the land.
Great idea - I'm all for it! The Park Board really should not be in the concession business, and if they can get someone reputable to do it and pay the Park Board for the privilege - that's great! Dairy Queen is a hometown business and should get the contract.

It would be preferable to have a mom and pop shop for nostalgic reasons,

I was relieved to read that one Park Board
Commissioner who voted against Dairy Queen was Annie
Young. Mpls should do business with a national
corporation ONLY when there are no other alternatives.
Let's write a grant to start a small business run by

It's too bad that Minneapolis doesn't have the multitudes of different

Kopps last time I went down there.) Culvers is close, but they are

Can anyone shed any light on the City of Minneapolis notice I read today
