Today's episode of the Wedge LIVE podcast: I'm on location with Henry LaBounta, picking up trash and clearing storm drains in the Wedge and East Isles neighborhoods.

🚨An update from my contact in the trash community: the Wedge is lagging way behind on storm drain adoption, which means more garbage in Lake of the Isles.
➡️East Isles raised their rate from 16% to 28%.
➡️The Wedge is flat at 15%—bringing shame to the neighborhood. Goal is 25%.

@mollyh65@RexChapman Not a stupid question! There’s a couple of different ways that eye doctors can get a prescription for babies. For my daughter they used both the teller cards and retinoscopy https://t.co/E5BnjJ2hgP
When Minnesota named one of its snowplows "Blizzo," the four-time Grammy winner Lizzo called it "by far the highest honor" she had ever received. (No word from Bob Odenkirk about the one dubbed "Better Call Salt.") https://t.co/HhEJ1kddks

Ben’s heroic neighborhood act didn’t just appeal to us because it is VERY satisfying to watch. Turns out, Minnesotans have bragging rights when it comes to drain rescues…
