It's our birthday week and we are celebrating with a few fun pieces. One, an analysis of our birth chart based on when we sent out our first newsletter in 2021 and two, a collection of our most memorable stories of the last year. Anna, Melissa, Charlie, and myself contributed to our most memorable stories. If you have a story that sticks out to you, please share it (email, text, comment box) and we will add it to our list.
Thank you so so so much for your support over the last year. Every email you send with a critique or a compliment, each dollar you donate, and every story suggestion you send to us is received with gratitude.
Road closures update! The Minnesota Department of Transportation just announced that the 3rd Avenue bridge is going to remain closed until 2023. It was supposed to open up this fall (h/t, Axios). Minnehaha Parkway is closed between Portland Avenue and 51st Street E. until November 11.
If you are familiar with West Lake Street, Market Plaza, and Excelsior Boulevard triangle, you already know the traffic backups that can happen (fun fact: I have talked with traffic engineers about the light timing at those intersections and it baffles most). Not sure what to tell you, but drivers will experience more traffic impacts due to private utility work until the end of October.
And as a reminder, the southern half of the Bryant Avenue construction is finishing up for the year. Once our ground thaws next year, the northern part of the reconstruction will take place. If you haven't checked out the Bryant reconstruction, take a peek. It's a transformation!

Minneapolis Public Schools are closed today for Yom Kippur. Students will also be off October 19-21, with two of those days dedicated to the Education Minnesota conference that educators attend every year, aka MEA break. If you'd like to start planning, Meet Minneapolis has a list of fun things to do during the MEA break.
