Will you attend as a prospective shoe tier or will you attend as a decoy with an untied shoe?

[taylr @taylr]

poster in loring park in minneapolis says a man will pay you $10 to tie his shoe if you are brave and come to father hennepin bluff park on june 14. bravery comes in guessing which person it is and approaching them without asking if they are the person who wants their shoe tied

[Jordan van der Hagen @TheJvandy]

@yumtapwater @taylr I’ve got dibs this is steps from home and I know how to tie shoes

@cicadaxxseason The views really do bring out the oddballs, don’t they?

After I took these I got in line. Out of nowhere, an old man was suddenly in line behind me grinning.

“It’ll be about 20 mins, the last person bought all our hamburgers” cook said.

Manifested old man proceeded to tell me jokes for 20 mins until the burgers were done.

@Little_Lair @yumtapwater @taylr Bummed I never made it out to one but belated thanks for your work in organizing these

[Jordan van der Hagen @TheJvandy]

@rhett_carlson I know market dynamics will probably keep the giant warehouse on the river at Graco, but... with the park to the south and the precedent set for architecture right up to the river - it could become something akin to St. Anthony Main with the right vision.

True hyperlocal content creation is hard. Attending City Council meetings, going actual places to photo, digging into research, doing the work. Things mainstream media doesn't do. That's why creators like @taylr @wedgelive @daviss @TheJvandy @JoshLipnik are treasures.

Felt honored to have been asked to capture today’s event by the folks at @ourstreetsmn. Walked 12 miles up and down Lyndale Avenue taking in how a busy street can host joy, celebration, and community when we take the time to slow things down.

[Jordan van der Hagen @TheJvandy]

@vincempls @taylr @WedgeLIVE @daviss @JoshLipnik @IlhanMN Thanks, Vince. Appreciate it lots! And happy to be in such good company in this post.
