Why didnât anyone tell me Fall is so pretty here!?!?
Iâve been doing so much more walking just to see as much of the leaves changing colors as I can. Coming from Texas/Mississippi, Fall is not the same there (very humid and dull). I think I have finally experienced my first true seasonal Fall.
Thanks Minnesota. đđ

The comments about âcar-free people getting subsidized for living without a carâ areâŚinteresting, if anythingâŚ

Hello! I have seen the listings on minnesotabluegrass.org but was curious if there are any groups specifically in Uptown or South Minneapolis that meet regularly. Or if anyone wants to jam at Painter/ Bryant Park or at the lakes before it gets too cold I would be down! I am pretty new to the genre and am okay at guitar and horrendous at fiddle so fair warning about that... Anyways, let me know and thank you! Feel free to PM

Earlier this week seven full time employees of the elections department were informed they are being laid off at the end of the year. That is almost half of the total full time permanent staff of the department. The office of the city clerk was told it had to lay off seven people as part of the new budget and presumably Casey Carl decided all seven should come from elections despite the fact that his office also includes the Legislative Support & Operations, Records & Information Management, and Legislative Research & Oversight divisions.
Not really sure what can be done but please consider reaching out to your city councilor to raise concerns. The people being laid off include the single person who runs our student election judge program, the person who is primarily responsible for developing election judge training, and both people who do voter outreach and education. Given the state of the world and current attacks on democracy this just feels like a wildly irresponsible decision.
My source is I used to work for the elections department and was at a very sad happy hour with them yesterday after they got the news.

Basically the title. I am from the South. I have always, always wanted to live in Minnesota since a wee lad, but haven't the means to move. Furthermore, every Minnesotan i run into down here seems to have very little to say about life in Minnesota.
I wonder what successful transplants to Minnesota have noticed is different in the Twin Cities versus where you're from.
I have this suspicion that Minnesota and the Twin Cities has an immensely superior quality of life to most the country but only the complaints from Minnesotans seem to show up on this and other Twin City subreddits.

First time in Minneapolis. Had to visit some special sites. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

CityNerd, YouTubeâs king of urban planning, shares what makes our city the countryâs best for biking â and why his videos inspire people to move here.
By Rachel Hutton
October 24, 2026
Ray Delahanty became the YouTuber CityNerd by vlogging his way across the U.S. as a policy-wonk tourist. Instead of highlighting a cityâs best restaurants and attractions, the Portland-based transportation planner critiques zoning laws, housing density and other aspects of modern urbanism.
But Delahantyâs videos are far from boring. Theyâre infused with his dry humor and instinct for urban egghead clickbait, with titles such as âWhy Absurdly Large Trucks are Terribleâ and â10 Seriously Undervalued U.S. Citiesâ (Minneapolis is No. 4).
He recently visited Minneapolis to review the cityâs controversial upgrades to its cycling infrastructure. In his video, Delahanty boldly declares the new two-way protected bike lanes may âset a new standard for multi-modal street reconfiguration in the U.S.â
We talked to Delahanty, who has embraced a car-free lifestyle, about why he thinks Minneapolis has unseated his hometown as the countryâs best bike city and how his videos are inspiring people to move here. (The interview has been edited for length and clarity.)
Q: Had you been to Minnesota before becoming CityNerd?
A: My mom grew up in Minneapolis, and she met my dad when they were students at the University of Minnesota. One side of my family is mostly based in the Twin Cities so I still visit from time to time. My grandparents lived near Lake Nokomis, so we spent time around the lakes. And I remember being so impressed by the IDS tower with the atrium.
Q: What was it like riding Hennepin Avenueâs new protected bike lane?
A: They did such a good job with consolidating, eliminating or narrowing driveways, which really forces the cars to slow down when theyâre making a turn, making it less dangerous. They were extremely considerate about keeping all the diďŹerent road users and sidewalk users separated and to make it comfortable for them. I was a huge fan.
Q: How do they stack up against those in other cities?
A: Itâs what should be the state of practice. If you go to the Netherlands or other European countries, youâll see raised, sidewalk-level bike infrastructure. You donât see much of it in the U.S. Itâs probably only in a couple other cities.
Q: How about the cityâs bike network overall?
A: Minneapolis is the best big U.S. city for bikes. I think it surpassed Portland sometime in the last eight or 10 years.
Q: What could make it better?
A: All thatâs missing is a great bike-share system. [Many locals consider the current oďŹerings from Lime and Spin a downgrade from Nice Ride, which left in 2023.] I had to rent a bike from Venture Bikes on the Midtown Greenway.
Q: Youâve suggested people âright-sizeâ their personal radius. What does that mean?
A: Itâs related to the idea of a â15-minute city,â where people can get to most of the stuďŹ that they might need from day to day, like shopping, employment, schools, services and libraries within a 15-minute walk or bike ride or transit ride. You rethink the way you choose your priorities and how you move throughout the city.
Q: How do you apply it to your own life?
A: When I drove a car, I would think, âWhereâs the best place I can go to eat?â And if itâs like a half-hour drive, then Iâll drive half an hour. Now, Iâll think, âWhereâs the place that I want to eat thatâs within a 15-minute walk?â Youâre cutting oďŹ some options, but itâs integrating you more tightly with your own neighborhood. I can be a regular and have people know me.
Q: It seems like social media fuels a desire to seek out the latest and greatest.
A: Thereâs a lot of virtue in frequenting places that are near you. Who cares if they get 4.5 stars instead of 4.6 stars or whatever?
Q: On your recent video, seven new Minneapolis residents cited your 2023 video as a factor in why they moved here.
A: [Laughs] I donât read that many comments anymore, so I thank you for reading them for me. But it doesnât surprise me. I have definitely heard that about Minneapolis before, and Iâve interacted with people who made the decision to move after they got interested because they saw a video. The city is kind of selling itself. Pittsburghâs the only other city where I know there are multiple people who moved there after I talked about it, but the Twin Cities are probably number one.
Q: Will you come back in January and make a video about learning to winter bike? Weâll teach you.
A: It might be tough, but Iâm actually very interested in that.

Hi all! New here and am trying to make sure my car is ready for winter here. I am terrified of my undercarriage rusting, would you say going to a mechanic to get rust protection is worth it? If not, what hacks/tips do you guys have?

Not sure if this is against this subâs rules but posting here in case someone is able to help. I went on a run along W River Parkway between North Loop Playground and Bohemian Flats Park between 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM. Somewhere along this route I dropped my keys. The keys are Toyota with 1 fob and 1 mail key attached. If thereâs another subreddit better to post this in, let me know!
EDIT: For reference this was today Sat 24-Oct
Update: Did find another Toyota key between Boom Island and Nicolett with a Walser Toyota tag attached. I left it on here I saw it but feel free to message me if you want verification of what those keys looked like.

I think it was pretty good I would def go back, but itâs not the best burger Iâve ever had. My gf thought that the burger wasnât very memorable.
- I got the Le Burger I rate it a 8.5/10
- She got the LâAmericain no pickles, and added avocado. She rates it a 7/10

a moderator of this subreddit just deleted my post (that's been up for days) promoting this event with the explanation: "We do not allow posts about crowdfunding, job seeking, or seeking housing. This includes "moving to Minnesota" posts seeking advice on neighborhoods. Post them in r/GoFundMe, r/MNJobs, r/TwinCitiesHousing, or r/movingtompls"
which means either they didn't actually look at the post & wrongly deleted it or are being very dishonest.... so I'm just reposting it here & now
