It's our FIRST EPISODE! Are you excited for Hennepin Ave to FINALLY reopen in Uptown? Host Sean McPherson is joined by MPR Newsroom Coordinator Denzel Belin and City Cast Twin Cities Executive Producer Anna Weggel to chat about Uptown's revival, ramifications from Kristi Noem's press conference in Minneapolis last week, and how Minnesota high school students are being admitted to colleges they haven't even applied to. The team also dips into the mailbag to share some of the kind words you all have shared in response to our newsletter so far!
