- CANDO has a new website. CANDO = Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization. [Where's the Central neighborhood?]
- The Twin Cities Media Alliance is having its first ever membership campaign. If you join now, you’ll be a founding member (oooohhhh, aaaaahhhhh </Smurfs>). Donations accepted online. You can mail your check to their offices but honestly, if you’re reading this blog, I’m assuming you can manage the online thing. If you want to spread your local independent media love/dollars around, MinnPost would love to take your money, as would the Center for Independent Media which operates MnIndy and its sister sites. Personally, I’m discontinuing my Minnesota Public Radio membership. I’m not sure that indy media is my #1 priority, but I’d consider either (or both) of these two outfits a fair swap for MPR.
- Several bike-related items via Bicycling in Minneapolis:
- The West River Parkway and 2nd Street SE bike paths under the I-35W bridge have reopened.
- According to this Census 2007 Report (pdf), Minneapolis bicycle mode share increased to 3.8%. That’s up from 2.5% in 2006. We’re still #2 to Portland, which has a bicycle mode share of 3.9%. Y’all are riding your bikes more just because you’re competitive, right?
- The 8th Annual Twin Cities Book Festival is next Saturday, 10/11, 10am-5pm at MCTC. Exhibit info here. (via @alexisthegirl)
