## Resource

WELCOME BACK to This Must Be The Place — the only Twin Cities podcast where one of the hosts quietly pooped his pants inside a Swedish pancake restaurant in the late 1980s and returned to the table like nothing happened. This week we’re diving into Diamond Lake: airplane noise, bungalow history, weird Minneapolis lore, dead lakes, detached garages, Dutch elm disease, neighborhood identity crises, and the man who may have literally named Minneapolis under an elm tree. Along the way: • Casey gets assaulted by pigeons in NYC • Andrew questions whether Diamond Lake has “nightlife” • We learn why Minneapolis alleys exist • The guys debate whether Fat Lorenzo’s is actually good • A listener proposes giving away a house at the world’s greatest real estate party • BoomTimes includes free solo climbers, wingsuits, gardening shows, and existential terror Basically: local history meets public access television meets two exhausted realtors trying to hold civilization together with podcast microphones. If you love Minneapolis neighborhood lore, weird Twin Cities history, architecture, local culture, airplanes flying directly over your home, or hearing two grown men derail conversations every six minutes… this one’s for you. 00:00 Intro 01:30 Andrew's Welcome (he pooped his pants) 03:30 Pigeons carpet bombed Casey as a child 06:30 Memorial Day Recap 08:37 Neighborhood Watch Diamond Lake 09:15 Niche review 15:45 History of Diamond Lake 20:40 How Minneapolis got it's name 26:50 the 3 restaurants of Diamond Lake 29:40 Airplane Noise for everyone 32:50 Listener MailBag : Leroy P Romage III 36:00 The ultimate party 40:55 BOOMTIMES The Dark Wizard 46:20 This is a Gardening Show 49:30 The End
