Someone Hates North Saint Paul’s Smokiness
Apr 16 2009 — 2:02am
I give you the North St. Paul, MN – The Smokiest City in the World blog, a blog that is exclusively, and obsessively, dedicated to the author’s outrage that his neighbors have frequent recreational fires. It’s tempting to think that this is some very detailed and subtle joke, but I hope not.

What the…: The most useful local blogs
Mar 24 2009 — 10:18pm
Ok, Trying to figure out where to spend my online time finding out what is going on in town. What people are saying, where they are eating, what art is worth going to see, what bands make a difference, what opinions rule the day, what wine tastes best, who slipped up, what they said, where the heat is, when is it going to heat up. You know the drill. Should I spend my time here? If not, then where?

The Secret’s Out: SOTC Blogs Ending
Mar 9 2009 — 8:06am
Brian Lambert reports, and Tom Bartel confirms that he’s no longer able to pay the bloggers of Secret of the City. Max + Today’s Talk continues, Brit Robson keeps the T-wolves blog for the rest of the season, Dude Weather also keeps rolling. So what of the other blogs do you want to see continue? And how/where should they live? Does this tell us anything about the sustainability of a get-paid-to-blog model locally?
"pitching ideas to children's book publishers...." If this is something you're really interested in, drop me a line.
Dumpy Strip Malls

Ed points out Dumpy Strip Malls, a marvelous blog about, well, local malls that have lost a lot of their lustre, if they ever had it. What’s the dumpiest strip mall you can think of?
