Liquor store weirdness gets weirder
Props to the Star Tribune’s MPLS. blog for doing some digging and coming up with two interesting maps, one showing the few remaining spots in Minneapolis where a liquor store could legally open, and the other the City’s official master map showing eligible off sale sites and all the relevant details like zoning, buffers from [...]
How to keep a storefront empty
The Star Tribune has (finally) caught on to the curious story of Dan Kerkinni, whose attempts to open a craft beer-oriented liquor store in Uptown has highlighted the complex and restrictive regulatory regime controlling liquor stores in Minneapolis.

We’ve all got wheels (and that’s the problem)
Many of the hot-button political issues recently popping up in this part of the city are the same ones that have kept concerned citizens awake at night since the beginning of time (or at least the temperance movement): bars, liquor stores, and sex shops; drunks, perverts, and the noisy twenty-somethings next door. But in any [...]
Proposed patio ordinance postponed
Council Member Tuthill pulls proposed ordinance that would change how patios operate in favor of creating task force to examine problems and potential solutions.
Man vs. Machine: 2011 Traffic Counts in Uptown
It’s so nerdy even nerds think it’s lame, but let’s celebrate it anyway: 2011 traffic counts are appearing on the City of Minneapolis Transportation Data Management System website! Automated counts have been conducted over the past couple weeks in the Uptown area, and some of the data have begun to pop up on the TCDS [...]
Outdoor patio ordinance moves on to full city council
The Regulatory, Energy, and Environment Committee of the Minneapolis City Council voted to send the proposed outdoor patio ordinance changes to the full City Council with no recommendation.
More on outdoor patio ordinance
