Did you attend a state fair this summer? Geographers discuss how the Minnesota State Fair is proof that #walkable, #mixed-use urban spaces with plenty of public amenities are successful — and quite popular. twincities.com/2023/09/03/wa…

Loved this story on the lessons the the State Fair could teach us about making our city great: mix up all kinds of different uses in a neighborhood to activate the street, offer public spaces to rest, and get pedestrians away from cars!

First day attendance at the Minnesota State Fair was 106,327. That's down from last year (121,478), way higher than 2021 (61,983).
The record was set in 2019 (133,326), a year that holds six records as well as the record for most-attended year overall.

As a person who is pretty familiar with receiving veto letters from Mayor Frey, let me remind you:
In his ~6 years as Mayor, Jacob Frey has vetoed 9 Council actions. Of these, all were authored by Councilmembers who represent Southsiders. 7 were authored by people of color.

When Arlene's storage unit was robbed in 2015, she thought she'd never see her ceremonial jingle dresses again.
In February, they showed up in an online auction — and, almost $900 later, she got them back.
But the story gets a little more complicated...

What does it take to prove ownership over a sacred object? After generations of Native cultural erasure, what should repatriation look like?
ft. cameos from @ziibiing, @BarackObama, & the one federal investigator whose full-time job is tracking Native objects in online auctions
These dresses certainly aren't the first Native cultural items to be auctioned off — nor will they be the last, sadly.
So here's what you should do if you come across one:
Help get it back to where it belongs! It's not that difficult, especially in MN.

Update: @PioneerPress did not carry Dilbert, so no need to drop, per the paper's editor.
"I would have dumped him for this, though," he added in an email.
"Dilbert" leads today's @StarTribune Sunday comics section as other major papers announce plans to pull the series over creator's comments.
Brief inside A section says the paper is evaluating whether to keep carrying it.
