New Sticker idea. Thoughts?
I think it would go nicely with 'Annex Maplewood' and 'Dissolve Falcon Heights'

Small businesses are suffering because of the tariffs. Some, like Steger Mukluks in Ely MN, are forced to send explanations in their marketing efforts in order to explain the changes in cost of goods.

Minnesota ranks among the highest rates of municipal fragmentation in the US: Over 3,670 local governments- 87 counties, 2,630+ municipalities, & 343 school districts.
You can bet that there is plenty of fraud, waste, abuse, & just general inefficiency in throughout the state.

People need to take municipal fragmentation more seriously- Annex Maplewood, Dissolve Falcon Heights.
I've long been fascinated by "people need to take more seriously" posts that don't expand on what it would look like to "take more seriously" whatever topic.

Been playing with the Metro Dreamin Transit Simulator-
A St Paul Cable Car from the Rivercenter/ arena/ science museum to Harriet Island up to Prospect Park in West St Paul.
A 2 mile/ 40min walk with hills becomes a 3min ride.
$35M estimate.
Worth it?

Know anyone at the 3M Cottage Grove Campus?
This is a racetrack next to the 3M incinerator, right?
What do they use this for?

For just $100k I will lead a research study on the historic harms and opportunity costs suffered by St Paul residents due to the failures of the State of Minnesota to reign in municipal fragmentation after 1946 and lay out a plan to consolidate cities and resources.
HALT THAT CONTRACT?: St. Paul issued a request for proposals for a $250,000 research study on historic harms suffered by Black residents. An evaluation committee has scored (but not finalized) vendors. Here's why Council Member Anika Bowie wants a redo: www.twincities.com/2025/11/11/p...

I feel this, but replace I94 with Maplewood- the only Minnesota city with 4 interstates: 35E, 494, 694, and 94 plus Hwy36 freeway.
You must only drive through here.

I-94 through Mpls-StPaul is such a disaster. I've lost friends over my position that it should be removed and replaced with better transportation, housing, business and recreation options. It inflicts unrelenting ugliness and tragedy on our communities. Do we intend to remain car-dependent victims?

St Paul mayoral candidate Yan Chen did a Q&A on reddit the other day- we asked them about the annexation of the St Paul Campus, State Fairgrounds, and Les Bolstad from Falcon Heights.
Agrees it makes sense but now is not a good time. 😏

My father-in-law is a builder.
It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder.
We were at Spruce Tree Center years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today.
I will never forget his answer…

Some Maplewood-Related Halloween Lore:
'The Witches Woods' house is where the Maple Ponds Apartments are today and Mother Judon is probably buried under the parking lot or apartments.
Premise for a Poltergeist movie.
