Totally agree - I’m so uninterested in most debate about “rhetoric”. That’s just become code for strong opinions you dislike. This was well done

Tough moment for you

Lotta social media chatter that layoffs are rolling at Breakthru Beverage Group, the country's third-largest wine & spirits distributor by volume. I've reviewed a memo purportedly from CEO Tom Bené referencing them. Have followed up with the company for confirmation and more details on the cuts.

Same newsletter but this isn’t as interesting I guess

I think taking a crap on people who are legitimately encouraging people to support the cities is crappy. Lots of people need the wages that come from high end, mid end, low tier places.

There are lots of ways that people can do something positive.

Rich people: spend money in the city of Minneapolis. Book a staycation. Go to the Four Seasons - go to Dario - go wherever and spend money in the cities! Go to tiny spots and spend a lot of money! Tip well!

Look, I understand that taking 2 words out of thousands spilled encouraging people to support small businesses, immigrant owned restaurants, etc is what we do here - but the pettiness is so obnoxious. People spending $$ is the goal - encouraging newsletter subscribers to do that is not ridiculous

Bill Joe Biden left the borders open though so I just can’t go there with you

$2.25M penthouse condo offers skyscraper views in the heart of downtown Minneapolis If you've ever wondered about that green glass cube on the roof at 6th and Marquette, now is your chance to look inside.

I love this conversion - that cube is (was?) Larry Abdo’s - the building owner. I always wanted to live at 6 Quebec - really high HOA fees because there are only like 25 units www.startribune.com/2-25m-pentho...

Thank you!

Who do Minnesota DFL'ers want to see run for Governor now that Tim Walz has dropped out of the race?

Minneapolis and Saint Paul: What's your one sentence election takeaway / hot take?

This is so good: thank you @dansuitor.bsky.social

A fair number of people who voted for Jazz Hampton and DeWayne Davis had Jacob Frey as a second choice. He got 12k second choice votes, Omar Fateh got 19k.

As always - grateful for all of the people who stepped up to run to try to make our state’s largest city better!
