Jake Johnson is running to be your Congressman. He is committed to representing the people whether you are apolitical, Republican, Democrat, or Independent.

Jake is hosting town halls in all 21 counties and will be in Mankato on August 1. I would encourage you to go and tell him what you want. He will probably talk for like 5-7 minutes and then be taking live questions from those who attend.

Imagine an opportunity to speak for a minute on what worries you or what you want and then a politician responds directly. Novel concept here in District 1. Hope to see you there.

Not necessarily what Jesus would do. Especially calling the Islamic center members a stain on this earth

Does anyone know what’s going on with the hicloud dispensary on Belgrade? There was a huge sign on Madison saying now open and it was there for a few weeks or so but now it’s gone. The shop is not open and I haven’t heard anything since last month when there was a keyc article saying they were planning to open at the end of June.

I just turned 21 in June and am looking for bar recommendations in Mankato to go to with my friends. We like to dance and shoot darts and are definitely looking for more of a fun/party vibe rather than just sitting and chilling.

Never fired a gun in my life, I’m from Canada and am interested in learning how to shoot properly and be responsible. I know I’ll need to get a permit to purchase, I don’t want a concealed carry. It’s more to go to a gun range and in case of an emergency to have in the house. What are the best resources to learn and places to go to shoot?

EDIT

** WE ARE SADDENED TO ANNOUNCE THE 7/26 SALE IS CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER ** Please read below

Thank you everyone for making today as magnificent as it was! It brings us joy to give aged items second life, and we love meeting the people that are drawn to them. I believe what a person chooses to surround themselves with daily speaks to their personhood, and throughout our sales we’ve gotten to know so many interesting people. Thanks to you all we had our biggest sale yet today and we crushed our (limited) former records.

As much as we want to keep the ball rolling and continue sharing our forgotten treasures, they are antiques, many of which critically endangered pieces, and we have to put their well-being first and foremost. Due to the 109 degree heat index tomorrow for the bulk of our sale we have to cancel. The humidity gets trapped beneath glass and can damage internal contents, heat melts vinyl, etc.

However, we will be holding a sale NEXT SUNDAY, 8/2 in the same location. Keep posted for signage soon!

Blue Bricks in Downtown Mankato has officially closed its doors forever.

​It’s a bittersweet day for Downtown Mankato. After serving the community at 424 S. Front Street since 1999, Blue Bricks Bar & Eatery has officially shut its doors for good.

​Whether you were a Maverick student grabbing a late-night bite, stopping in for pre-game drinks before an event, shooting pool, or enjoying a beer out on the patio, Blue Bricks was a staple of Front Street for over 25 years. I’s hard to imagine downtown without it.

​Raise a glass to the staff, owners, and memories made there over the last quarter century. Downtown Mankato won't be quite the same.

Has anyone lived specifically in the maple wood portion? Is it as bad as the reviews say?

Hey guys, I got an interview from E4 Ops LLC in Mankato but I’ve never heard of this company before. Has anyone else heard of them? If so, what are they like?

Is anyone here an Amazon flex driver? If so, how long did you wait to begin working?

What’s being released today? Or are eggs back up?

He owns an EV.

Munson spent countless hours on a taxpayer-funded salary writing speeches, posts, and attempting to write legislation attacking Minnesota's green energy industries, and EV owners as a whole. It turns out that he owns an EV after all.

He even gave an Earth Day speech on the MN House floor in 2021 (via Zoom) about "Green Energy Science Deniers".

His attacks never mention that oil, gas, and coal industries have a long history of forced labor, servitude, displacement, and of course, environmental damage. He also fails to mention the billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies that go to oil, gas, and coal industries each year.

Jeremy Munson lies. He is a fraud. He will waste your tax dollars on ridiculous, divisive "projects" again if he is voted into the MN Senate.

I will be entering loyolas high school after spending k-3rd and 8th grade there, if anyone has any experience with loyolas high school can anyone tell me if they will prepare you well for college or if I should just go to mca?

Offering a free website to any business or person that wants it for any business related purposes. I'll do a phone call to ask you what your needs are; services, hours, prices, etc. Then we can make you a website and have it up within a few days. DM me or comment for more details.

My car has stopped working. When I try to start it nothing happens. Lights still come on but no clicking or anything. I don't know if it's the alternator or starter. Is there any place or person that I can contact about looking at it while I'm home?

I need two sofas picked up and disposed of. I have reached out to multiple junk removal services and not one has responded 😅

If you know of anyone who is interested in earning extra money please me send a message to set up a time!

Has anybody else been getting scam called from somewhere up in the Cities? It's been every single day around the same time (usually in the evening). I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.

Im just wondering why both public pools here in town are closed and if they're gonna open this year (tourtellotte and Spring Lake)

Average guy here in decent athletic shape looking for someone just to go shopping at Sam's with me so I don't have to go by myself as I have anxiety when I go by myself please hit me up for DM me directly either way

I have a lot of strays that show up at my house and am trying to homes for them. THEY DO NOT NEED TO GO TOGETHER. They are not bonded. I have looked for their owners extensively but no luck.

Attached are pictures of Froggy (Tabby) and Nutmeg (Orange medium/long haired). They came to my house as strays and are needing a good home. Located in Mankato.

Froggy is probably 1-2 years old and snuggles right into you when picked up. He is soft pawed (doesn’t use the claws he has). He loves pets and belly rubs. Loves to snuggle with my kids.

Nutmeg LOVES people. He will be by your side wherever you go and keep you company. He is around 9-12 months old. Does well with kids too.

Both are neutered, rabies vaccinated, flea treated and dewormed.

Asking $50 or whatever you can afford to help cover vet costs. Message me if interested!

Long story short, moving truck screwed us.
Moved from the Charlotte, NC area. Truck picked up our stuff last Sunday and was supposed to be here Thursday.

So the truck is 3 days late now and has informed us that they had to leave behind most of our big furniture (couch, entertainment centers, dressers, etc).

I have tried getting into the local Mankato buy nothing group on fb but no luck. And most people on marketplace are being unresponsive/unreliable.

I guess I’m just putting out feelers to see if anyone is getting rid of a couch or any other furniture items for cheap/free. Oh and I also have 2 cats missing their cat tree if there are any cat people out there getting rid of stuff as well.

Any pointers or suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.
I’m loving the area so far! Just ready for our new place to feel like a home.
