This week, it's back to the city.  Minneapolis Specifically.  Sorry St. Paul.  We still love you anyway. This is another longer one!  Stay with us.

• In case you live under a radio land rock, don't feel bad!  Most of us do.  RadioLab. This American Life.
• Kathryn retracts her statement about General Mills & Pillsburry.  Croissants/Cheerios forever.
• Tim was right.  There was nothing out west way back in the day. Nothing at all. (Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, Yosemite, Sequoias)
• Kathryn has committed the logical fallacy of ignoratio elenchi in her appeal to the natural wonders of the Western US as a means of disproving Tim's objectively true point that the population and economic centers of the US resided east of the Mississippi in the 1800s. Please note.
• Tim has committed the social faux pas of Doubebagi Correctingsi.  Please note.
• Kathryn stinks. Write it down.
• In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theater
• Fringe Festival
• "What's the skywalk?" you say?
• A descriptive editorial discussing the Somali population in Minneapolis
• Minneapolis was ranked the gayest city in America by Advocate.com. How about that?
• Do you want to compare loads of employment and labor data from Minneapolis / St. Paul with loads of employment and labor data from various other metros around the US? Yes, you do. Of course you do.
• This is also where we learned that Minneapolis is the third most literate city in the US (based on a number of factors, including libraries, bookstores, and newspaper readership).
• An awesome New York Times article from 1890: "Fighting Over The Census - St. Paul Jealous of Minneapolis and Charges Fraud". Those were the days...
• A report filed for the Minnesota Historical Society, Archeology of the Central Minneapolis Riverfront. Way more interesting than it sounds! Also, how could you ever get enough Scott F. Anfinson?
• A graph of flour production, lumber productionand population from the Scott F. Anfinson report. Lumber drops off really sharply on 1920, but we just can't figure out why!
