I’m quoted on an MPR blog on the new bridge. Had I known Julia was going to post my coment, I would have said something more interesting.

Since then, I have driven over the bridge after dark. I suggest it be nicknamed “the Blue Bridge” for the blueish glow from the fancy LED streetlights. New bridge = blue bridge.

Frankly, I’m surprised max didn’t do his own post on the King of Diamonds tax evation story. Strippers. Rigged ATMs. All the elements of a good MNSpeak thread.

On a related note, the owner of the Crab House in Fridley has tax troubles of his own.
