Summary
We explore the vibrant pulse of the Twin Cities as Memorial Day kicks off our outdoor season. Contributor PaviElle French and Sean share their picks for the week's best events, from Books & Bars at Urban Growler to the meaningful "Flowers Now" celebration at Cedar Cultural Center honoring Black arts elders. Then we dive into the "Rondo-verse," an innovative Roblox game that lets players walk through both historic and modern Rondo. Finally, we welcome Recovery Bike Shop's Seth Stattmiller and Elizabeth Richardson to discuss their community effort to save the 137-year-old John Cook House from demolition.
