It's Friday, so we're celebrating some Twin Cities Wins with vocalist and contributor PaviElle French. We also chat with Wes Burdine, owner of the Black Hart of St. Paul, about a peace prize he was recently awarded by a German soccer club and how he saw the Midway neighborhood stand together during Operation Metro Surge. We also have a bonus segment exclusively for our City Cast Neighbors about our favorite bookstores in the Twin Cities, as this Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day.
