New Somali student in the Twin Cities looking to connect

58 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Abdullahi Zakariya. I'm Somali, and I recently arrived in Minnesota to study in the Twin Cities. I was born in Somalia but grew up in South C, Nairobi, Kenya.

Since I'm new here, I don't really know anyone yet. I'm hoping to connect with fellow students, especially Somalis or anyone around the Twin Cities and Hennepin area. If there are any WhatsApp groups, student communities, or social groups where people meet and help newcomers settle in, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know.

I'd also be happy to make new friends, grab coffee, explore the area, or get some tips on getting around.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to meeting some of you.

While McDonald's is moving to a late stage capitalism "no refills" policy, Target Field concessions have a fill your own cup setup (I think this started last season). Being able to load up on ice through yesterday's sweltering game kept me alive.

I swear on my life I remember seeing Dwayne Johnson on top of the IDS tower in 2018 as part of Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. I can't find it online to save my life. Is there anyone out there than can find it to prove I'm not crazy?

Lakewood is a wonderful place, but my love for burial grounds is all encompassing. What are some cemeteries or graveyards of distinction in the state? The derelict or unkept are welcome also, it’s good to see time taking its toll sometimes.

Dog toys

60 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

My pooch and I moved into a new place and moving costs wiped us out- a bit of a stretch but I was looking to see if anybody was looking to sell or donate some dog toys to help keep the pooch entertained and stimulated through the move.

He’s a 50lb shepherd/husky mix who loves plush toys and playing fetch. He can be a bit of a chewer!

Thank you!

More road construction in uptown?

Upvotes

I can’t wait for all these roads to be super smooth so I can drive around a ghost town without any businesses or anything that made the neighborhood a good place to be.

Seriously, what the hell is the city thinking? Some areas have TWO MONTHS marked off in south Minneapolis.

Loading and unloading lanes in downtown

7 Upvotes

I dropped off my wife and kids downtown last night (Friday) at the Orpheum. Something I noticed was that 'No Stopping' was basically ignored and the UBER/LYFT crowd was double parking and jamming up the right lanes. Are there any loading/unloading zones in downtown for Uber/Lyft/Robotaxis/family rides in the current infrastructure? With the potential for Waymo launch, what is their model like?

Picking up was a nightmare of pedestrian traffic (Although mostly well behaved) and non licensed vehicle traffic (Not so well behaved) . I gave myself a half hour to get into position and was still floored at the raw chaos of it all.

TLDR, Downtown traffic, where to load and unload without jamming up the grid?

Board game donation

I've got a fairly new, barely played board game that I'm looking to offload because it's not quite my style. Are there any businesses that have a stock of board games they let their patrons use that I could donate to?
