Northern Lights shining bright over Mankato tonight.

Outside of a clinic in North Mankato slated to close in December, the DFL organized a rally Friday highlighting Republican cuts to Medicaid and the ACA, which party chair Richard Carlbom says will lead to more hospital and clinic closures and rolled back services.

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth doesn’t rule out gubernatorial run, but says her current role feels like the right place to be.

Farm Aid 40 in Minneapolis was a day I won’t forget. Great story/photos by my MinnPost colleagues www.minnpost.com/arts-culture...

Two tiers of Minneopa Falls.

Long story short, the last photo before my car broke down along Minnesota’s northern border was of Willie Walleye in Baudette.

O Canada! Giving myself a new, unofficial title as MinnPost’s international correspondent after today’s visit to Fort Frances, Ontario.

Finished my fair days with these tater kegs, basically jumbo sized tots.

The hard part about fairs is I love trying new foods, but I can’t not get a gyro. So naturally I end up getting new foods AND a gyro.

Cambodian ribeye steak skewers with jasmine rice and pickled veggie slaw. Delicious.

Big poutine fan, and since no one else with me likes it I didn’t even have to share.

Cheese curd tacos were a huge hit. Got brisket one day then buffalo chicken the next, and still wanted more.

State law is clear on this. The applicant in this case met all requirements, including the city’s own ordinances.

And while I’ve never seen the real Statue of Liberty, I had to snap a pic of Willmar’s version of it.

S/O to Willmar’s Azteca restaurant for the massive, delicious burrito they served me.

Yeah you could say I have a type musically.
