Yes, Uptown suffers from a personality crisis, but it’s also vibrant and undeniably walkable
It’s caught between a low-rent, artsy McPunk past and an absurdly gentrified present. But Miriam Rudolph’s etchings, Dave Eggers’ drawings and two side-by-side windows beckon.

Yes, Uptown suffers from a personality crisis, but it’s also vibrant and undeniably walkable

It’s caught between a low-rent, artsy McPunk past and an absurdly gentrified present. But Miriam Rudolph’s etchings, Dave Eggers’ drawings and two side-by-side windows beckon.

A new column by the one and only Andy Sturdevant.

I’m not sure what it would serve to talk openly about what happened, not the people who sent me here, the people whom I work with, and my family.

It involves people who didn’t put their names on a ballot, and I’m just never going to talk about that.

Appeals court sends lawsuit on Minnesota's gay marriage ban back for more arguments

A lawsuit over Minnesota’s ban on same-sex marriage should not have been thrown out by a judge, the state Court of Appeals has ruled. The court sent the case back to the district court for further analysis of the constitutional issues.

Stunning images of America’s environments are returning to public view

In the early 1970s, the EPA paid top photographers to document the nation’s environmental riches and challenges. After 40 years, more than 15,000 of the images are now online — including more than 500 from Minnesota.

It’s not about new rules or more memos going out to stop checking from behind. It’s a cultural shift involving the adults around the game, to where we’re focusing not only on skill, but sportsmanship, fair play and respect. I’m not sure those are things that get addressed on a regular basis.
