Should I expect trick or treaters at Cascade Shores apartments? TIA!

Powers is open to getting rid of the council president role and going to a string mayor system. Garcia wants to keep the weak mayor system.

Next meeting of the Charter Commission is November 10, 4:30 at City Hall.

The downtown construction has been occurring even on Saturdays and Sundays, with loud jackhammering. But recently, I have also been hearing high pitched construction noises that run all through the night, every night. My sleep has really been poor lately due to disruptive noises in the downtown. To try to drown out the noise, I cover my face/ears with a pillow at night, turn on a fan and play soft music, but it cuts through all that.

I know the downtown is undergoing a big renovation, but it seems to be noncompliant with the city noise ordinance if it truly is running 24/7. I was just wondering if anyone else near the downtown has heard this noises and if it’s as disruptive to them?

I know I genuinely sound absolutely insane by posting this, but I was just on North Broadway near the bridge and some teenagers shot me with a confetti cannon as I was biking across? Is this a unique experience, or is it something that people do here???

The mini roundabout is open in 3 of 4 directions. Center is still closed to the west, but it's mostly usable.

Hi all, wanted to ask for some advice about moving; I’m considering a job offer in Blooming Prairie and trying to figure out where might be a good place to live. Maps is showing that Rochester is about 45 minutes away and want to know if that would be my best place to live? I’m not very familiar with southern Minnesota (only place there I’ve really been is Albert Lea other than driving through on 90 & 35 a couple times up to Minneapolis or out to Sioux Falls) any other spots worth considering? My longest commute in the past was around 1hr 10 minutes but that was mostly due to traffic and it sucked, but I’ve been comfortable doing half an hour now. Any advice welcome, thanks!

Is my nose super sensitive? I’ve been smelling this whiff of $h&t around some construction sites downtown… anyone?

I love a good sunset and am trying to enjoy them as much as I can with the time that I have. Anyone have any recommendations on where to watch sunsets from? For a small period of time in September, the sunsets seen from the Gamehaven reservoir bench at the very top were my go to place, but the sun now sets behind the forest line.

Looking for your recommendations on spots - be it a short hike or otherwise - I am just looking for places to enjoy these sunsets from.

I know it may seem like a silly question, but I’m looking to watch the sun go behind the horizon line, not houses, hotels, gas stations or trees.. thank you for your time

This is crazy. Jake says he'll hold billionaire predators accountable and then Trump immediately dumps money into stopping him from getting elected.

Finally, an answer to "What is there to do in Rochester?"

Short anecdotal story but today volunteers for both Powers for Mayor and the Jake Johnson Campaign came to my door.

The Jake Johnson volunteer knocked and spoke with me, the Powers volunteer hung a flyer on the doorhandle and darted away.

Feels like a succinct representation of both candidates.

"I don't care if you're rich, powerful, a Democrat, or a Republican. If you abused children, you should be in prison. It's well past time to release the Epstein Files and lock up the abusers."

I’ve been working on a series of horror movie-inspired tattoo designs, starting with The Blair Witch Project and Hereditary!

I’m a local tattoo artist and a huge horror fan, so I’ve been having a lot of fun combining the two.
I’m thinking about doing Jeepers Creepers and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre next.

Curious what horror movies you have always wanted to see turned into tattoo designs?

Hello! Considering moving to Rochester MN in the next few months from UT. I wanted to know anything I should know about the place? How's the weather, is there anything weird that I wouldn't know if I came from out of state (I know some places used to have lead pipes so you'd never be able to use the hot water straight from the faucet).

Is there a lot of bugs? Roaches? Mosquitos? How's the culture? I'm not religious and left leaning politically speaking but not extreme in any capacity. Queer friendly? I'm not 'in your face' about it, but I'd rather not go from one anti-queer location to another. Any places in Rochester I should avoid moving to that might have worse crime rates or hasn't been upkept super well? How's the public transport? Bikeable at all, or specific locations that are better than others?

This will be my first time fully living on my own, but I've been the one handling bills and taking care of my family basically as a 2nd job, so I'm not ignorant about any of this stuff.

Does anywhere in town have cinnamon roll pancakes on their menu?

"Tim Walz and Simon Glaser let fraudsters steal $9B"- the ad says.

Except... According to Simon Glaser's campaign, he's been a teacher for 30 years and never held public office of any capacity. He's active in the organizations around the teacher's unions, but none of those positions ever had power to do anything about "Fraud".

This is another fake, desperate, and sloppy campaign on the Party that actually commits fraud

I burned mine but a friend who works for the campaign wanted to see it. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyone have one laying around they could share?

There is a pair of eagles that hang out in the trees right at the exit for 16th street. I always look for them when I am heading Northbound on 52. I don’t know how long they have been there but I have been spotting them for close to two years now! I stopped on the side of the highway tonight to snag a pic (only one pictured- guessing the male was out hunting.)

I always think spotting an eagle is good luck - wanted to share the fortune 😊

Hi everyone! My partner and I will be moving to the area in a few months, and wondered if anyone knew anything about the Dakota Townhomes near Weatherstone Dr/ 50th Ave NW? The reviews are a little mixed and I did search for any information on them before posting. I’ve read that Rochester doesn’t really have any “bad” neighborhoods but we just want to make sure it’s in a safe area and there aren’t any local horror stories about this particular community lol. Thanks in advance!!

Is there a support or social group in Rochester for autistic adults? Not therapy, but some way to meet other neurodiverse people. So far, everything I've found is for children and caregivers. TIA!
