How early to show up to Britt’s for the USA Game tonight?

Just curious if there’s any frequent Britt’s visitors that know what type of wait Britts might have? Will there be a line at 5PM?

It was super purple last night. We might have had too much cloud cover lately for northern lights but it's nice we got this on the 4th!

Sidewalk repairs, possible to contest?

City sent us a letter with an estimate for sidewalk repairs and panels with a white dot supposedly need to be replaced. But the panels they marked have no cracks, no visible deterioration, aren't unlevel--they look pretty much perfect. There is a place on the form letter for the city to list what the relevant defects are and it's just blank.

Any chance of contesting whether they genuinely need to be replaced or should I not bother? Estimate is for over $1500 and I get that we are responsible for the sidewalk as homeowners but this appears so unnecessary.

What are some interesting unused/abandoned/derelict infrastructure

Looking for some places to learn about, kinda a passion project of mine.

Some things I’ve read up on a visited or learned about already:

-i335 on ramp off 35w and the 70s block through ne
-the telephone line bridge over 94 at Fairview that looks like a ped bridge
-Selby street car tunnel
-Abandoned AmTrak station
-Meeker island lock and dam
-Ford plant ruins/lots around the river
-Franklin Ave bridge streetcar poles
-various popular abandoned buildings like the one near utepils and the u
-Orth brewing complex

Anything deeper than surface level things, maybe hidden in plain sight or things that have always been here that we just gloss over that have a unique history.
Thanks!

What’s up with the old Dunn Bros at 25th and Hennepin in Uptown?

What’s the latest with that spot? I seem to notice things occasionally moving around inside, but the location has been closed for so long!

Feels like a prime spot for a small neighborhood Barbette-style joint.

High rise apt recs & advice

Hello Minneapolis Reddit,
I was born & raised there but left in 2006. I’m moving back before the end of this year. New job new life, old hometown. In my 20s & 30s I lived in vintage apartments and brownstones in Uptown, the Wedge and Northeast.
I’d like to try living in a modern, contemporary high rise RENTAL apartment downtown or near downtown. I’ve toured a few of them and I’m intrigued. Wondering if anyone here has experience with any of them (there’s so many - the market seems saturated) and can share info - what’s it like, what to watch out for, what’s amazing, what’s not. Any feedback about any specific buildings would be cool. Real facts from anyone with lived experience would be awesome.

I’m a solo female of color, educator, in my 50s. No pets/kids. Make decent money but not rich. Need covered/garage/secure parking. Would love laundry in unit, some amenities, and a chill, adult professional environment that’s safe and well managed. Looking to try this for at least a year.

NOT interested in buying or a discussion on buying vs. renting; not interested in St. Paul; not interested in the suburbs.

Thanks in advance for any insights. I’m excited and terrified, lol!!!

Solo writing retreat ideas?

I'm searching for a cabin or hotel I can stay in for a couple days to focus on my next creative project somewhere within a couple hours of Minneapolis. It can be rustic (although I love running water lol). Any suggestions on where to look for this that isn't Airbnb or Vrbo as I'm not looking to spend a ton of money. Google is only showing me luxury cabins. My hometown had public-use cabins for like $60 a night but I'm having trouble finding a Minnesota equivalent

Fireworks in the middle of a torrential downpour

Gotta hand it to them, they’re dedicated. Thunder & lightning couldn’t even deter them.

I do, however, wish they’d stop with the mortar/BOOM ones. I don’t even have PTSD and my heart stops every time one goes off (they set them off in an empty parking lot right next to my apartment so it’s extremely close).

At least hopefully with the rain there’s less concern they set a nearby house or tree on fire.

I hate July.

Red, White, and Boom fireworks??

It’s raining for the next 90 minutes at least. Any chance we still get fireworks? 🎆

Update, 9:15 PM: We’re downtown now and a cop said as of now they are still on for 10 PM!
