His visit will include a Central Corridor focus, as a model for how all transitway corridors can be enriched by art, culture, creativity and diversity. This will be Charles Landry’s second visit to the Twin Cities A prolific author, engaging speaker, and hands on consultant, Landry has worked with cities across the globe providing expertise on building intercultural and creative capacities. He has advised communities on topics such as green urbanism, using imagination and creativity for urban change, and tapping into ethnic and cultural diversity for economic development. The creative city concept from his highly acclaimed book, The Art of City Making (2006) along with The Creative City: A Toolkit for urban innovators, has spurred a global movement to rethink the planning, development and management of cities. Hi neighbor, The houses on either side of the garden are vacant. The garden is fine. I’m concerned about the houses and copper thieves. Please call 911 if Jim L I met Brenda Wright (I’m pretty sure that is her last name) who has just opened the “Koffee Korner” right on Thomas and Broadway. It’s that teeny tiney little building across from True Vine Church. She has some sweet hearts and deco outside and she is selling not only coffee but wraps, sandwiches, soup, chili – all kinds of stuff, for very reasonable prices. It’s all take out at this point. The place is very small. Let’s support our local businesses! She’s open from 9 a.m.to 6 pm every day. Brenda said that on the evening of the October 10th (when Jim and I are hosting the Introduction to the Landmark Forum at 6:30-9:30 at True Vine)She will stay open until 6:30 if people want to come in and grab a bite to eat and or to get coffee. If you buy a cup of coffee that evening she’ll give you a free donut to go with it! By the way, this is not a church or religious event. Jesse Griffin, the pastor at True Vine has been VERY GENEROUS and supportive of community in allowing neighbors to meet in the church. Come one, come all. Bring your friends! THERE WILL BE CHILDCARE! We have two awesome child care people to hang out nearby with your children. Nettie Smith Attn: Minneapolis Neighborhood Organizations Next week, Metro Transit will be hosting three “open houses” to gather public imput on a study it is conducting to improve transit service on some of the most heavily used bus routes.

The focus of this study is on improving existing bus routes, not planned or under construction Light Rail lines. These open houses will be informal, and participants are welcome to come and go as they please. There will be three meetings, including two in Minneapolis. Their times, locations and directions are listed below. Tuesday, Oct. 11 – 6 to 8 p.m. Nearby bus routes: 61, 63 and 74 Wednesday, Oct. 12, 6 to 8 p.m. Nearby bus routes: 5, 21, 27, 39 and 53 Thursday, Oct. 13, 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The library is served by many local and express bus routes. Find your route with the Trip Planner. If you would like more information and a map of corridors in this study please visit: Metro Transit – Arterial Transit Corridor Study (ATCS). Well, they are at it again. You know who I mean–the trees, of course. Walking or cycling north on the path from McNair, you may witness some I’m copying a wonderful Mary Oliver poem below my signature, which Jim L. The shortest answer is doing. The life you lead is the lesson you teach–source unknown In Blackwater Woods Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light, are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment, the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over the blue shoulders of the ponds, and every pond, no matter what its name is, is nameless now. Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know. To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. ~ Mary Oliver ~ We’re having a very special event and community conversation and you’re invited!

She managed to We live in the 20XX block on Thomas Ave N and are looking all over for Debra A snowydaffodils (at) gmail.com Amy and Brian who live on 25th and Thomas Avenue North asked that I notify neighbors of 2 garage break-ins over the last 2 to 3 weeks, the last occurring today. Their garage drive-way is shared with residents on Upton Avenue North. Bikes were stolen during the first break-in with no damage to the garage. Today the thieves used the garbage container to climb and break one of the decorative windows on the garage door where the automatic door was released to allow entry. The car was searched and money was stolen. They wanted people to know about these break-ins and to be careful and watchful. Peace, —– i also had some kids break in to my garage and were in the process of taking two bikes when my fiance came home. they left in a hurry w/o the bikes. however, they did decide to smash a ceramic figurine of st. francis of assisi, and thought it would be nice to topple over the table in the backyard too. this happened about a week and a half ago. i’m on penn and 23rd. |
