No one has posted because no one is surprised regarding the repolling
editorial. I believe most Star Tribune readers believe the Star Tribune is
the most liberal or one of the most liberal newspapers in the country. I am
sure the Star Tribune people would say they are merely reflecting the
Suburban fright isn't just in the suburbs. I had a co-worker who lived in
the Longfellow neighborhood come pick me one Saturday evening to go out
drinking with a group from work. I live in Lowry Hill East, and told her to
drive straight down 26th Street from Hiawatha to my side street. She
Wizard and I were chatting offline about this thread and came up with a
question I wanted to ask the class:
Do you think people in this region are less likely to really embrace city
life because so many people are from rural areas?
Here's where I'm going with this:
Look at a map. You can go

I believe that county-wide support for a regional facility like the Central
Library is not enough. I believe that we need a region-wide way of
addressing and paying for items of regional significance. I also believe
the State should pay for things of State significance. The problem is when

MY DEMOGRAPHICS: I was born in Mpls and lived there for 27 years. I moved
east only to greatly shorten my commuting distance. Now, many years later, I
am in Mpls 4-5 days a week to enjoy the great culture, intellectual

Good post Bob... I too frequent the Fine Line, many warehouse district
businesses, Uptown bars and restaurants, and the many local 'live' theater
options. I saw Buddy Guy at Fine Line and a good local blues group at Famous
Daves, all within past week.
However, for most movies and dining it's

Too much is at stake here NOT to repoll anyone confused by the "butterfly

would be a damn shame if George W. Bush got into office because people
Just got back from a great event that's going on for another hour.

Yes I remember this. There was a bowling alley downstairs on the 6th street
side. Shinders was on the corner with their huge magazine and newspaper

We went to the theatre last Sat. and decided to go to the New French for

Like television, the cities are being turned into "entertainment centers"

they are money engines in themselves. Wine drinkers take too much space too
Minnesota has a huge interest in maintaining the electoral system. Just
think of the attention a popularly elected president would give to our
state if he need five million votes in New York or California.
