To celebrate becoming the 12th state to legalize gay marriage, the city of Minneapolis lit the I-35W bridge with rainbow colored lights last night, according to the city’s Facebook page.
Minnesota pride.

What up North Star State! Glad to see you got the best poster. (Those stars will glow in the dark!)
In Minnesota, we didn’t have snow days — we had cold days. -31F would have done it.

Target Does It Again: two stylish ladies — one from California, the other Texas — snap the best of what everyone’s favorite discount retailer has to offer.
I only just discovered it via Jaclyn and figured you might like it as much as I do.
PS: I am contractually obligated to point out that Target is from my hometown. Minnesota is cool guys I SWEAR! (Says the girl who lives in Manhattan.)
Gena started looking through the Flickr stream of the guy who took the magnified velcro photo and noticed a lot of them are near where we grew up. This is Como Lake, a lake I’ve walked, Rollerbladed, and driven around many times, a lake I’ve skated on, a lake where we’ve celebrated weddings and birthdays and lead roles in the summer play. I’ve played with my cousins, fed ducks, and flirted with boys along its shores. Probably smoked pot, too.
This is also the place where my uncle John landed ‘the biggest catch in the history of Como Lake’ — my dad.
They were around ten, bored and in my grandma’s hair, so she sent them out to go fishin’. A couple hours later they came home in the back of a police car, uncle John’s hook (accidentally) caught in Dad’s nose, bawling and bleeding and definitely not bored. (And of course half-thrilled to ride in a squad car.)
Dad still hates fishing.

Minnesotan. That’s just how we do.
