[Mpls] SAFE Newsletter

Does anybody besides me miss the quarterly newsletter that CCP-SAFE used to put out, the SAFE Times? I suppose it fell victim to the city's budget cuts, but could it be started again as an e-mail newsletter? I found it very informative and useful to my work. Valerie Powers Ward 10 REMINDERS:

[Mpls] 2003 Dia De Los Muertos on the Greenway

[Mpls] More Bookish Minneapolis

And Savran's! (I totally forgot Savran's). Valerie Powers Aldrich Ink TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) Minne

[Mpls] Bookish Minneapolis

Okay, literate fellow citizens, time to start a new thread! What's YOUR favorite Minneapolis bookstore? When I need a nice print fix, I like to go to Orr Books in Uptown or to the Book House in Dinkytown. Shinder's is good for newspapers if I really want to smear up my house with ink. And

[Mpls] Adopt-A-Highway program

I work with a local group that is interested in exploring the "Adopt-A-Highway" program. They want to adopt a section of I-35W. Does anybody know who or where I can call to find out more about this program? E-mail me off-line if you do. Thank you. Valerie Powers Ward 10 TEMPORARY REMINDER:

Just why would the residents of Minneapolis hate the Hill family? Valerie Powers Ward 10

[Mpls] STRIDE Meeting Location

Could somebody e-mail me off-list and let me know when and where tonight's STRIDE meeting is going to be held? I know somebody who plans to go to the meeting, and they still think that it's going to be held at the Hosmer Library. And could I also be provided with the STRIDE website's address?

On behalf of the Nicollet-Lake Business Association, I am pleased to announce the debut of the association's web-site at www.nic-lake.com. I invite everybody to take a look at the "Links" page -- if you have a sugestion for a link that would work well with the page, please feel free to pass

[Mpls] Business Association Banners

I work with a Minneapolis business association that is thinking about having identity-creating banners made. Could anyone in our group who is affiliated with a Minneapolis business association with identifying banners, please e-mail me off-list and let me know what company made your banners, t

[Mpls] More crows

This is kinda off-topic, but the subject of Minneapolis Crows has me cracking (or perhaps cawing) up, because I'm part of a writer's group named Garden Crow Poetry Group, which meets twice a month. We're always trying to get fresh feathers - uh, writers - involved. E-mail me directly if anybo

[Mpls] Fun with Lists

I'd say number one and two (together) would have to be Brian Herron's resignation and Basim Sabri's arrest. Number three would be R. T. Rybak's victory over Sharon Sayles Belton. Don't know about four and five. Valerie Powers Ward 10 ___ Minneapolis Issues F

[Mpls] Think Spring!

This has got to be the strangest November I ever did see. People are biking down the street in shorts and sandals, there's not an ice-scraper in sight, and I was just out in my backyard - bare-footed, mind you - and I discovered that the neighbor's lilac bushes are putting out buds! Any ot

[Mpls] Re: What's Missing

Remember two movies for the price of one at the Uptown Theater in the late 70's and early 80's? Saw many a foreign film during those years with college comrades or dates. I saw "Breaker Morant," "The Lighthorsemen," and "Picnic at Hangin Rock", all great Aussie films, that way. I also rememb

[Mpls] RE: What's Missing

I know it's still there in an expanded version, but does anyone besides me remember the Mudpie Restaurant on Lyndale Avenue back when it first opened in the mid-70's? The first time I ate there, I sat at the counter and was served a bowl of split pea soup by a waiter who was terrifyingly thin.

[Mpls] We had an election?

Yes, we had an election, and we can be damned proud of it, too! Am I the only one who had it occur to them that Tuesday's terrible events did not take place on Election Day in one of the world's greatest democracies by coincidence? New York has already re-scheduled their primary election for

[Mpls] Airplanes flying?

I've been hearing airplanes fly in over head all morning and yesterday evening. Does anybody know what they are? Ithought all commercial aviation was suspended until further notice. Valerie Powers Ward 10 ___ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Mn E-Democracy Post

[Mpls] Calhoun Square Post Office

In case anyone is interested, the Post Office at Calhoun Square at Lake and Hennepin is still open. It was supposed to close on March 31; all the clerk said was, "We decided not to." Valerie Powers Ward 10 ___ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-D
