Central Library Five Year Party!

http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/blogs/122196724.html

I have been a docent there since the opening – if anyone would like a tour, let me know!

We actually just had a periodic checking in on the docent program, and it was a great meeting. Really excited about where we’re at now, after the recent years of strenuous change..

New Site-Member Metro blog post!

Can you match these theaters with their Mission Statement?

The twin cities is of course known for its vibrant theater community (more theaters per person than NYC!), and Kathy’s blog brings fresh insight every month.

Try her quiz and see how many you get right!

(Two weeks of early Fun – we’ll have to be extra serious next week!)

Bike-Friendly Award for Minneapolis!

Exciting community news: Minneapolis honored as a bike-friendly employer at the National Bike Summit in Washington DC, by the American League of Cities!

I know I’ve seen a small but shocking number of folks bicycling all winter long. Thanks much to everyone who bikes or supports biking for transit. Makes the city that much more liveable for all of us!

Let the Target Field cheering begin!

Snowman at Target Field

I also have a presence at Tumblr, where this comes from – that’s more bohemian than here and I’ll be switching to this as my main site.

But there’s fun content there and local folks, so you’ll see things from time to time from there.

Enjoy!
