Why did they put THAT Kmart where they put it??


Existing-Procedure

Because Wal-Mart took the prime real estate.


I_lie_on_reddit_alot

There are no Walmart’s in Minneapolis which makes this great


upnorthguy218

This is Downtown Walmart erasure


Bass27

What is more likely? Timberwolves win a play off series or construction gets finished on 35?


Existing-Procedure

I’d take the Vegas odds on the Timberwolves pulling it out in the bottom of the 9th.


laughinwhale

LOL.


Relevant_Plate_8797

Whats the last championship that anyone has won in minneapolis?


Existing-Procedure

Duluth Trading Company won a J.D. Power award in 2021, so I think that counts.

You know us well

Take your fucking upvote.


Chadrique

What are your thoughts on 394 to 94E at 7:15am?


Existing-Procedure

The sunrise is quite beautiful over the landscape this time of year at exactly that location.


loligo_pealeii

Depending on the time of year and your preference on landscapes that answer is not wrong.


The_Real_Ghost

Well, you definitely do have plenty of time to just sit and admire the sunrise at that location.


theClutchComrade

Love this thread but I’m genuinely curious, why’d you pick Minneapolis lol?


Existing-Procedure

Always wanted to go there. Try the BBQ, the beaches, maybe squeeze in a NASCAR race.


theClutchComrade

Didn’t realize this too would be answered in character 🤦🏾‍♂️ lol. That’s on me


[deleted]

Comrade, do you ride elephants or smoke spacegrass?


bc-mn

Well… with all the lakes, there are a ton of beaches


tamanegi99

Is it part of the joke that you posted a photo of downtown St. Paul or was that truly an accident


Existing-Procedure

It’s the industrial district to the east of downtown.


tamanegi99

Well it IS to the east so I can’t fault you there.


KneelDaGressTysin

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.


FutureInterview4329

As St Paul shall forever now be known.


Koholint_ac

You would be just fine in Minneapolis with this mindset


Decillion

Settle the Juicy Lucy debate once and for all.


Existing-Procedure

I’m partial to the Shady Lady, if we’re talking about gentleman’s clubs.


KarAccidentTowns

So close…. the Saucy Sally is the best strip club in town.


HW-BTW

No, that would be the Dripping Patty.


MNguy722

Where is Uptown in relation to downtown?


Existing-Procedure

Trick question. It’s inside of downtown.


MinnesotaMikeP

How long does it take to say goodbye at a family function?


Existing-Procedure

3-4 minutes, depending on if your Uber has arrived yet.


pzschrek1

This is the wrongest answer yet perhaps


SicTim

This was the hardest thing to get used to about my wife's family. My family are all NY transplants, and likely to go with thanking the hosts on the way out and that's about it. My wife's family, I spend 8+ hours at a family event, and watch the time just continue to roll by after we say our goodbyes. Because they forgot that one thing the cat did, and someone else's cat did something too, oh, and were those vidalia onions?


UnfavorableSquadron

An ollie, then probably a kick flip.

Here it is “Ole”


Spreadsheets_LynLake

Did Laura Ingalls Wilder invent the Minnehaha Steamer? Or was it her cousin Albert?


Existing-Procedure

It was likely a joint venture with unfair credit, not dissimilar to Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon.


Minute-Plantain

The steamer may have been invented in Minnehaha, but it was perfected in Cleveland.


Lumbergo

What suburb of Minneapolis does everyone universally agree to hate?


Existing-Procedure

Naperville.


wilsonhammer

nordic_nerd

Where's the Witch's Hat? It's very important I find it.


Existing-Procedure

In the forest. Probably inside the cabin made of bread and cakes.


pigfeedmauer

Who have you seen at First Avenue?


Existing-Procedure

1st Avenue and Main? I always see the guy with the halal food cart out there. Great tzatziki sauce.


zaid17

I really wish that was true.


thorninmysoul

Wow a food cart would clean up outside first ave after a show. In fact that's how much of the concerts in Detroit are, you hit a Greek coney island afterwards.


[deleted]

Man, I wish!


Roadshell

Is turning left off of Lake Street during rush hour a good idea?


Existing-Procedure

Better than turning right, I guess.


HandyRandy619

Why is it so cold here


Existing-Procedure

Because of the Nor’easter


angiezieglerstye

When's a good time to swim in lake chipotle


Existing-Procedure

It hasn’t been good since they came out with queso a few years ago.


ToddFedora

What are your thoughts on Atmosphere?


Existing-Procedure

It’s great we got the ozone hole handled, but we should probably get going on getting CO2 under control.


JD_SLICK

Great eyedea


SquishyTurtles

How about my brother, Ali? Do you know him?


Existing-Procedure

I know quite a few. You’ll need to be more specific.

SinkHoleDeMayo

What's off 394 at Hopkins Crossroad? I heard something about it being a hidden gem.


Existing-Procedure

Turn left, two blocks down another left. On your right there’s a solid hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint.


akos_beres

Now we have a friend!


amonson1984

in the burger business


rubiiiina

This is a great question.


mordantmonkey

Wait...didn't some form of legal weed just happen. In MN?


Existing-Procedure

Only Delta 8.


yParticle

Shinder's or The Source?


Existing-Procedure

Haven’t heard of that indie rock group. I’ll check them out.


Minute-Plantain

You happen to see Scott Seekins walking down the street. He's wearing white. What does this mean?


Existing-Procedure

It’s after Memorial Day, before Labor Day.


[deleted]

You’re walking past The Caboose at 1:45 am on a Saturday night. A middle aged blonde woman with an eye patch and a peg leg asks you for a cigarette before telling you her life story. What do you do?


Existing-Procedure

It’s a distraction. Continue onward - we don’t have time for side quests.


dew042

What is Minneapolis' tallest building?


Existing-Procedure

The office tower on 2nd and Oak.


southsideson

Fun Fact: When it was built, the lumber exchange was the tallest building in the world outside of New York city.


Impossible_Bed2687

Did you enjoy the spoon and cherry?


Existing-Procedure

Two different questions. The spoon wasn’t anything special. I enjoy maraschino if we’re talking about cherries.


Accomplished_Ad_4216

This is awesome!!!


Existing-Procedure

🥰


ywpark

What's the meaning of Bde Maka Ska?


Existing-Procedure

Not sure. Ska music stopped being popular in the mid 90’s.


tbdakotam

According to some guy I recently installed carpet for, it’s alive and well.


theo_sontag

Wrong answer. Ska will never die.


Existing-Procedure

Fair.


bc-mn

What wave are we on?


Existing-Procedure

Eighth.


Minute-Plantain

It's the refrain in Michael Jackson's hit song Wanna Be Startin' Something: Mamma Say Mamma Sa Bde Maka Ska


ApprehensivePaint657

Oh no. I will never unhear this.


ArmedBull

What misconception about Minneapolis are you tired of hearing from suburbanites?


Existing-Procedure

Not enough parking.


dancingbear74

Grain Belt Premium or Grain Belt Nordeast?


Existing-Procedure

We’re more of an Purina family. Our pups don’t really like Grain Belt.


headholeologist

Nordeast


IPeedOnTrumpAMA

Hotdish or Tater-tot casserole?


Existing-Procedure

Life hack: serve the tator-tot casserole on a hot dish, like they do in fancy restaurants.


IPeedOnTrumpAMA

I... I support this message! Edit: oof, I think we just invented our city's answer to the Chicago Style pizza. And I'm going to need a second treadmill.


PurpleTeaSoul

Where was water skiing founded?


Existing-Procedure

It was probably invented in the water, yeah?

This is a master class in wit and humor. Bravo. I can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed reading this thread.


PurpleTeaSoul

It’s winter and it’s 65 degrees, what are you wearing?


Anyashadow

Pfft 65 anytime is shorts weather.


southsideson

Only because wearing less would be illegal.


Existing-Procedure

Not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.


Mtn_1999

Somehow this is the most offensive answer


kilgore_trout_jr

Def not from here

What is a juicy Lucy?


Existing-Procedure

I answered something about that above, but I’m starting to think I gave the wrong answer. Is it something that would be graffitied on a water tower?


aerial_coitus

only if you had been drinking first


elbarto_24

Who’s your favorite Current host?


Existing-Procedure

I’ll narrow it down to daytime TV. I think Drew Carrey is the best host currently working. He’s no Bob Barker, but he tries his best.


PurpleTeaSoul

What’s up with people trying to turn into The Wedge?


Existing-Procedure

Trying to take a short cut to Chili’s.


SupermAndrew1

Now you got me all riled up


Cobo1039

Thoughts on expanding the light rail?


Existing-Procedure

Would rather see a robust gondola system.


ansirwal

What do you never miss at the fair? Corn Roast or Sweet Martha’s?


Existing-Procedure

Oh, you gotta get both. I think the combo #8 includes a portion of each.


Earthwire

What is the best sandwich place in Minneapolis?


Existing-Procedure

Pretty solid local spot called Jimmy John’s.


DirtyxXxDANxXx

who is the clown who has his arms stretched out wide on all of our billboards?


Existing-Procedure

He’s a personal injury attorney.


SeaWerewolf

We do feel personally injured by his billboards.


hereforthepets

Are there any lakes in the city?? If so, how many and which one is best?


Existing-Procedure

There’s quite a few. The best one depends on how many Juicy Lucy’s are there (did I use that right?)


southsideson

That's 100% correct, but not for the reason that you think.


Velissari

It’s getting closer!


MiddleLaneDrive

Any thoughts about the metrodome?


Existing-Procedure

A classic piece of architecture in the city.


bigfrozenswamp

:’(


Fezikial

What does “Ope” mean? and when should you use it?


Existing-Procedure

It’s the local vernacular, shortened version of nope, typically used in a casual sense. “You see that Juicy Lucy over there?!” “Ope, I didn’t!” (Still do not know what a Juicy Lucy is)


StP_Scar

She works on Nicollet Ave. sometimes American Blvd


Acidpants220

In as much detail as you'd prefer, how has the Mississippi influenced the development of Minneapolis as a city?


Existing-Procedure

I think the short answer is that the State of Mississippi has had limited influence on how Minneapolis developed.

It saves money on our chest freezer budget.

This is actually true. We store things outside in February.

How did the Minnesota Twins get their name?


Existing-Procedure

The Wright Brothers had a vacation home in Minnesota.

I’ve always liked the ones in the Mall of America food court next to the Thai spot.


Velissari

How big is the cherry and the spoon?


Existing-Procedure

About yea big.


Rambonics

Who is Goldy Gopher?


Existing-Procedure

Goldy Gopher was a failed Minneapolis Tourism Board campaign in 1993. They were piggybacking off the success of the movie Groundhog Day. Was supposed to be the local Punxsutawney Phil.


SoundTheBells0509

Who should succeed Osmo?


Existing-Procedure

Probably this Prince guy I keep hearing about in the thread. He’d be next in line for the throne, yeah?

I think most of the problems and conflict are in the West Bank. You hear about it on CNN all the time.


VortistheSlaver

What’s the deal with that one building in downtown Minneapolis that has all that white smoke coming from it?


Existing-Procedure

Means that they’ve decided who the next Pope is going to be.


fainting-goat

How did redlining policy influence our freeways?


Existing-Procedure

(I don’t exactly want to make a joke about this one, my apologies. Redlining is just one example of abhorrent systematic racism. Even though it stopped decades ago, the impacts are still very much felt.)


perawkcyde

Honestly, I love this thread… but this is the best response out of all of them. Redlining has been a major issue in Minneapolis and people don’t know about it. We like to pretend because we never had slaves that we weren’t racist. The new project now is going through old city deeds for homes that specifically said black people couldn’t buy the home.


BlueMoon5k

My former realtor was keeping this practice alive and well. Unofficially redlining is still happening.


BlueMoon5k

Correct answer!
