Hello Jason,
I can’t begin to express to you how offended I am by this article. Aside from the fact that I live in Blaine, your comparison of the quality of one city’s people to quality of another was unbelievably insulting. How dare you suggest that “someone from Blaine” doesn’t mix well socially with “someone from Edina”! What would make you even write something like that? From what I can gather, you live in Maple Grove. How would you feel if someone wrote an article such as this, using your town as the low-class half of this food comparison? My guess is that you probably wouldn’t like it very much either.
From a reader comment on my review of Kona Grill in Minnesota Monthly, in which I said “In life, there are things that just don’t go together naturally. I mean, you can force someone from Edina to hang out with someone from Blaine” (via derusha)

Have you ever googled someone, found zero hits, and concluded this person was VERY SUSPICIOUS?
Exactly.

To my surprise, Heavy Table…posted an entry [on Foursquare] touting that visitors should try the sea bass. The Heavy Table is a Twin Cities-based magazine reviewing restaurants and bars in the Upper Midwest. Their review reads, “The tender and perfectly cooked sea bass is a top seller. It’s oven broiled with citrus buerre blanc and accompanied by wild rice and seasonal veggies.” Granted, this was a professional review, but there was also an entry from a recent ‘patron.’
This event provided a practical example of how a simple technology provided an augmented discovery that made my whole experience more pleasant.

Cat Store - Catnip Banana Sale: WHY YOUR CAT NEEDS A CATNIP BANANA IMMEDIATELY
Do not give your cat real bananas because most cats hate them. That and they go bad quickly! Catnip bananas both last longer and are much more lovable for cats. Remember to take any wrappers or plastic hooks off the catnip banana before delivering it to your meow cat.

Have you ever longed to discover what’s underneath your cities? Well, just pick up this book on the 2nd floor of the Central Library, where the display books of the month are themed “Plumbing the Depths” (Caves, Oceans, literal plumbing) and right away you’ll have a practical guide. I am researching Fountain Cave for work. Fountain Cave is where the bootlegger Pierre “Pig’s Eye” Parrant (who inspired Saint Paul’s original name) hung out and sold whisky, in by all accounts, a creepy way. But it was also a wonder of Saint Paul, down by the Mississippi River, and people used to take day trips there. Till the 60s, when the state was like “We’re building a highway,” and literally asphalted it closed. It’s a shame.

The forthcoming album Relayted from supergroup GAYNGS covers this song, Godley and Creme’s “Cry,” on Track 3. I cannot wait. Can you hear Justin Vernon and Lookbook doing this?
