r/Minneapolis

I am a 21M new grad who got a job offer in Eden Prairie. There's apartments right next to my office which are pretty affordable but I was told to not live in the EP suburbs in my 20's and to move closer to the city. however, one thing I was worried about if living in Minneapolis are the long commutes to EP, but I was told that they shouldnt be too bad because I would be going reverse from everyone else since not a lot of people commute to EP to work. So, im in a dilemma of if i should live right next to my workplace, or in the city. I have 1 WFH day if that matters much

Just curious if anyone has experience with a job in eden priarie commuting from mpls

I have a triathlon before the Minneapolis parks open water swim club starts and I want to get some practice in my wet suit in actual open water before it starts.

My car was repossessed in January of this year. Since then I’ve been trying to find a way to get another car but places I’ve seen so far don’t have Honda or Toyota cars in stock or want 50% down. Also, I finally have a good job with 4k after taxes so money not an issue but urgency. I’ve been fooled twice out of $6,000 by people on Facebook marketplace . Which bank or which car dealership is most likely to work with me? Any advice is welcome. I really need help with a car. I’m spending $700 or more on Ubers/Lyfts and buses don’t travel early enough

does anyone know any resources that offer free to low costs hair services for black women?

i work in community based living and health services and have a few clients who could use resources to get their hair done appropriately.

minneapolis or st. paul!

Hey everyone, looking for a good massage place that does couples massages and will be okay with a gay couple. I’ve tried a few places around the cities, but all were meh. Lifetime had a great massage, but not a relaxing ambiance. Others were relaxing, but the massage wasn’t anything special.

We want something relaxing, but want to get worked enough to get the knots out too. Where do you like to go?

I promise I searched this sub for hours looking for answers!

I’m wondering if anyone has experience living a few blocks from the lake street Aldi. Right now we live down by Longfellow park and are considering a move to 29th Avenue S just north of lake street. I shop at that Aldi and visit restaurants on lake street, so I’m familiar with it. But I am wondering if anyone has actually lived right there and is willing to share a bit about your experience. We don’t have kids, but we do have two dogs and walk a lot. Curious what it’s like at night up there and whether or not proximity to that shopping center makes a notable difference in the neighborhood right next door.

Thanks in advance!

I get called to donate to this org about every 3 months or so maybe 6 months. along with something for state troopers.

They had my updated address on file, and mentioned they wanted to finish out their campaign for the year. But i moved just a few months ago. so they called me maybe in march.

https://www.minnesotaprofessionalfirefighters.org/

this is a website that pops up when i type in the name of the org the dude gives me.

But when I look online, i hear most "phone calls" are scams.

That would be terrible if that were true. Anyone else deal with this or know about the org?

This is kind of a shot in the dark- but I’m learning Arabic and wondering if any Arabic speakers would be willing to meet up and chat in Arabic with me?

I’m still learning the alphabet right now, but inshallah will be speaking by end of year. I wanted to send out feelers and see if there’s interest in a group like this.

I’m also willing to help with English, although have no experience teaching.

Maybe a group like this already exists? Open to any thoughts or ideas.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued a nationwide arrest warrant on Monday for the ICE agent who allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and then lied about the circumstances that led to the shooting.

Christian J. Castro, 52, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with four counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime. The shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis on Jan. 14 came one week after ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good and set off another wave of intense protests amid the largest immigration enforcement action in United States history.

Sosa-Celis and his roommate, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, were initially charged with assaulting a federal officer as Trump administration officials widely publicized their mug shots and former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called their alleged crime an act of “attempted murder.” The charges were later dropped when video evidence directly contradicted the story given by federal officers.

In an interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune before announcing the charges, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Castro was identified as the shooter through two sources: a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension interview at the site of the shooting and medical records from Castro’s visit to the hospital after the shooting.

With the news of the Uptown Red Cow closing next month, it’s just one more vacant storefront on Hennepin to join The Lowry, Burch, Dunn Bros, etc etc. Covid, OMS, Hennepin construction, and god knows what else made it difficult for many restaurants and businesses to stay open— what will it take to get to the other side of it? I just feel so disheartened that it seems near impossible for local businesses to stay afloat. Is there anything we can do?

To start, I know about the meeting list on the website and I have the meeting app. But for anyone who has gone to meetings, you know they all have their own character and there are so many in the Minneapolis area.

I’m looking to find AA meetings nearer to NE where there’s a good vibe and long-term sobriety. I have been to the NE Recovery Room, but most of my regular meetings have been in the west metro (3 Legacies, Fox Hall, etc.) Typically I’m free after 5 on weekdays and weekends, although if there’s a good lunchtime meeting downtown, that can work as well.

TIA!

Hi all,
We recently moved to Minneapolis with our toddler and have really loved the city and the people so far. We’re very new to the healthcare system here and would appreciate some guidance.
Could you please share suggestions on what kind of health insurance plan would be best for our 17-month-old baby? Currently we opted for Cigna but not sure if the plan would cover Pediatric visit for the vaccination. Any suggestions on how to check or whom to reach out if want to upgrade it. Also would appreciate any advice on the factors we should consider before choosing a plan, especially regarding vaccinations, regular pediatric visits, and other healthcare needs for toddlers.
Thank you in advance!
