What is going on in St. Paul. Just north of University @WCCO @sppdmn

[Jason Rantala @jarantala]

Neighborhood went from 1 am to just after 9 pm w/o power. Losing that and especially air conditioning during a summer storm is a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but you’re always more grateful for these things once you have them back.

Uber rep says that this deal *will* keep the company operating in Minnesota, but they will give a formal statement once they see final language.

Long confirmed there is preemption language, meaning this will override the Minneapolis city ordinance rate.

[Jason Rantala @jarantala]

There are a variety of perspectives on Uptown reconstruction and I was happy to find them on deadline.

[Wedge LIVE!™ @WedgeLIVE]

Here's something you rarely see on TV. A local business with a positive outlook on a street reconstruction. Owner of Uncommon Grounds on Hennepin Ave says when it's finished, "The whole area will look really slick and modern."

A solemn sight as officers from all over metro surround a Burnsville paramedic vehicle. Dozens of officers paying respect in downtown Minneapolis at HCMC. #wcco
