Restoring St. Anthony Falls, Winter Fashion, and Pooping Downtown

Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why St. Anthony Falls is just pure concrete? The Dakota-led group Owámniyomni Okhódayapi is redesigning and restoring the falls to its pre-colonial lushness. President Shelley Buck tells us what the project is doing differently. Plus, if you’re wondering how to stay chic during harsh Minnesota winters, local fashion designer Samantha Rei has some tips. Pooping in downtown Minneapolis is a political problem, and the city just approved extra funds for more toilets. Our guts say thank you.
