he threat of a Super Bowl strike by Metro Transit workers looms over ongoing contract negotiations between the Metropolitan Council and the union representing roughly 2,500 transit service employees. Ninety-three percent of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 members voted Nov. 13 to reject the latest offer from Met Council and authorize a strike. That strike would take place during the 10-day Super Bowl celebration scheduled to start in late January, just as thousands of visitors begin to stream into Minneapolis for the Feb. 4 game.

Minnesota’s new main street Two years of construction — and headaches — are over as Nicollet Mall reopens

By Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com Minnesota has a new main street. Nicollet Mall officially reopened in midNovember following a $50 million renovation, which closed the downtown thoroughfare for more than two years to the chagrin of businesses and office workers. What’s come out of the project are 12 redesigned blocks at the center and cultural heart of downtown. Dozens of people came out to celebrate at a ceremony hosted directly on the recreated street. Surrounding them were new and old sights and sounds of Nicollet Mall, from the recently relocated Mary Tyler Moore statue to new lighting, art and furniture. “This is an extraordinary day for Minneapolis,” said Mayor Betsy Hodges. “Here we are. We are on Nicollet, everybody.”

The reopening is especially significant for businesses along the mall that have had to contend with construction and employees who have had to navigate closed sidewalks in

recent years. Much of the work on the mall, which has been closed since the summer of 2015, happened below the surface as utilities were updated. In the last lap of construction, an ad campaign used images like that of the statue of Mary Tyler Moore famously tossing her hat into the hair to promise that “we’re going to make it after all.” Steve Cramer, president and CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council and Downtown Improvement District, said the project to reconstruct more than a mile of downtown’s core moved at a “very quick pace” despite challenges. More than a simple street reconstruction, the project added several new features to the mall. James Corner Field Operations,

the design firm the city tasked to recreate mall, designed a Light Walk and an Art Walk between 6th and 8th streets where programmable lights line the sidewalks outside the IDS Center. Two signature artworks, including Ned Kahn’s large “Prairie Tree” sculpture and Blessing Hancock’s poetry-clad “Nicollet Lanterns,” were added. Overall, crews installed more than 1,500 LED lights to the mall, which can be programmed for events or holidays. Hundreds of trees, new movable furniture and designed pavers can be found throughout the mall. Landscape architect James Corner said that though the project looks simple, it was “enormously complicated” to coordinate. SEE NICOLLET MALL / PAGE 11

DOWNTOWN WEST

Skyway bar, napping pods come with Fifth Street Towers redo A bike hub, napping pods and a swanky lounge are among the new amenities at Fifth Street Towers, where a multi-milliondollar renovation has just culminated after two years of construction. Very little hasn’t been touched inside the 1.1 million-square-foot office towers in downtown Minneapolis where large screens and wood line the skyway level and an amenity floor offers the latest office comforts. The teams behind the renovation say the office towers have been primed to attract a lot of interest from potential tenants. “We will be the ‘it’ building of 2018. I have no doubt we will do more deals in Fifth Street Towers than any building in downtown Minneapolis. It’s because nobody has seen anything like this. It’s brand new,” said Erin Wendorf of Transwestern, a Houston-based company handling leasing in the buildings. New touches are immediately visible on the first two floors where a fitness center has been replaced with a bike hub, repair shop and locker room capable of housing hundreds of bikes. The redesign from Shea Design and ESG Architects juxtaposes screens with new wood detailing and public seating. On the third floor, tenants have more than 20,000 square feet of lounge space with a rentable bar, conference rooms and a wellness center with napping pods. A new, roughly 5,000-square-foot deck offers more communal seating, TVs and skyline views. Tenants have a staffed workout room with machines and a weight room. Vending machines offer the buildings’ daytime population, which could reach up to 4,000 people when fully leased, heathy grab-andgo items instead of chips and candy. “We are supporting a massive amount of people throughout the day. You need to think about what people need throughout the day to be happy, healthy and productive,” Wendorf said.

The next ‘it’ building Jim Durda, executive vice president of Zeller Realty Group, the buildings’ owner, said they “ambitious” leasing goals for the office complex. Since beginning the renovation, several new tenants have signed leases inside the 25 and 36-story buildings, including Northland Securities, Collabera, KPMG, Ford & Harrison,

By the end of the year, Durda said, they estimate the buildings will be 60-percent leased. By the end of next year, he predicted, that number will be closer to 90 percent. “Everybody who is just thinking about a renewal wants to come and look to see the exciting things at Fifth Street [Towers],” Durda said. About eight spec suites have attracted several national and global corporations, Wendorf said, which offer furnished offices that ready to move into immediately. Some of the largest tenants in the buildings are Martin Williams Advertising, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, Moss & Barnett and Bowman & Brooke LLP.

A new skyway bar Capping off the renovation is Sphere Kitchen + Bar, a new lounge on the skyway level. The bar is a new concept from Hemisphere Restaurant Partners, which operates three Tavern Grill locations, the IDS Center’s Mission American Kitchen, U.S. Bank Plaza’s skyway-level eatery Good to Go and groundﬂoor restaurant Atlas Grill & Clubroom. Sphere, which is named for the circular skylight above the bar, occupies a newly built out 3,000-square-foot space that The Simple Sandwich had partially occupied. The restaurant offers lunch, dinner and a full bar with beer, wine and cocktails. The menu features small plates, kebabs, salads and fresh vegetables spiced with curry and turmeric that co-owner Hadi Anbar said aren’t often seen in the skyway, “Nobody has that kind of stuff. … It’s kind of a great, worldly [concept],” he said. Sphere, at 100 S. 5th St., is open 11 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday through Friday with lunch served from 11 a.m.–3 p.m.

The latest gym to open in Minneapolis caters to bouldering, a climbing sport that’s growing internationally. The Minneapolis Bouldering Project features an indoor climbing gym where people of all ages climb 18-foot-high walls without a need for ropes or harnesses. Co-founder Will Hanson, a Minneapolis native who has opened similar gyms in Austin and Seattle, says bouldering, which is set to make its Olympic debut in 2020, offers a less intimidating, more approachable form of climbing that is taking off, especially with kids. “They don’t have to take a belay test. They don’t have to have a partner belay them. They don’t need to learn knots or technical equipment. They really can just come and experience it, which is nice because it tends to remove that barrier,” he said. The 40,000-square-foot gym is set to open Nov. 28 at the back of a nondescript warehouse building in the Near North neighborhood. The building, located just outside the North Loop and Sheridan neighborhoods, is home to Pryes Brewing. Roughly 20,000 square feet of the gym is dominated by colored climbing walls towering over 16-inch foam ﬂoors that keep climbers safe if they fall. Climbers take to “routes” or boulders to solve “problems” or climbing scenarios, which are colored by difficulty with yellow, red and green meant for beginners and white, pink and blue for

experienced climbers. Around the corner, there’s a corridor specifically designed for young climbers, which Hanson said make up the fastest growing age group in bouldering. “They tend to be such naturals at it. They’re lightweight and fearless. With every age, but with kids especially, if you can give them a taste of success where they got to the top of something … it’s really impactful,” he said. Kids at the Minneapolis Bouldering Project will have their own hangout space where parents can also watch from a distance. A connected climbing room is meant for children’s birthday parties or events. Bouldering is great for young people because it offers an alternative to team sports where some may not thrive, Hanson said. Kids can go onto compete where they can get that experience working with others. Creating these problems is more complex than it looks. Ayo Sopeju, the lead setter at the gym, said while tall people may have an early natural advantage, he uses the modular walls to create challenges for all body types. Boulders can have various textures, sizes and shapes to keep climbers on their toes. “In the long run, the ideal is to make everything unfair equally,” Sopeju said. The gym will take down the boulders about every six weeks to wash them and keep the walls refreshing to members. For competiSEE BOULDERING PROJECT / PAGE 5

Crepe & Spoon

Coworkers Michael Beachy and Rachel Booth have opened a vegan ice cream and crepe shop near 22nd & University in Northeast Minneapolis. The two, who previously worked together at the Sheridan Room, put together their own business ideas to create the unique concept, which offers unique flavors of ice cream and crepes without the traditional dairy base. The four-seat, 870-square-foot shop opened in late November across the street from the Hai Hai, a new Vietnamese concept from the team behind Hola Arepa in Southwest Minneapolis. Booth, who created flavors like black pepper and popcorn ice cream at the Sheridan neighborhood restaurant, found inspiration in cocktails in putting together the shop’s opening menu, which featured pina colada and chocolate rye flavors. However, traditionalists will find Oreo, coffee and mint chocolate chip ice cream on the predominantly vegan menu. Beachy is responsible for an all-vegetarian and mostly vegan crepe menu, which balances savory crepes made with vegan meat alternatives from nearby Herbivorous Butcher and sweet flavors like banana and chocolate.

Crepe & Spoon also offers pints of the ice cream and coffee from Twin Cities-based Bootstrap Coffee Roasters. Crepe & Spoon, at 339 22nd Ave. NE in the Holland neighborhood, is open 11 a.m.– 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday through Saturday and 11 a.m.–8 p.m. Sunday. It is closed Tuesday.

months off,” he said. A lounge on a lofted ﬂoor gives members room to work, socialize or eat available graband-go food like sandwiches, cold brew coffee and kombucha. A retail wall in the front offers protein bars, chalk and apparel. “We found that a lot of our members don’t have that classic 9-to-5 anymore,” he said. “They’ll come in and do a climbing session, work on their laptop a couple hours and then they’ll take a yoga class.” The gym offers monthly memberships starting at $56 for children and $68 for adults, $12–$18 day passes and punch cards. The sticky rubber climbing shoes worn by a majority of climbers are available in any size for $4 per day, though they’re free for firsttime guests. The Minneapolis Bouldering Project, at 1433 West River Road N., is open 6 a.m.– 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.– 10 p.m. on weekends.

tions, the gym will take them all down to make sure members don’t have an unfair advantage over their competitors. Half of the gym is devoted to non-climbing activities and locker room facilities. There’s a yoga studio, a weight room and a room for fitness classes where members can work out when they’re not climbing. The gym will host several yoga, climbing and other classes each day. “I do really hope that some people will come in and be really excited about the yoga and find the climbing, and a lot of people will find the climbing and get into the yoga,” Hanson said. Even for experienced climbers, the sport can be tough on their bodies, and these other uses provide a space to develop breathing, ﬂexibility, strength and positioning. When Hanson, an experienced climber, hurt a finger and couldn’t climb, he turned to yoga to keep training. “It was actually pretty eye-opening for me. I came back a stronger climber after taking six

Light rail crash wall requires environmental review A mile-long crash wall added late this summer to the Southwest Light Rail Transit project will require additional environmental review, the Metropolitan Council announced Nov. 21. Met Council spokeswoman Kate Brickman said the Federal Transit Administration informed the agency that it would require a supplemental environmental assessment on the so-called “corridor protection” wall planned for a portion of the future SWLRT corridor in Minneapolis. That portion of the corridor is owned by BNSF railway, and in exchange for its use the company demanded a wall separating light rail and freight rail traffic. “At this point, we don’t know what, if any, impact this will have on the construction timeline,” Brickman wrote in an email. “We will be discussing this further with FTA and our project partners.” The news was cheered by state Rep. Frank Hornstein, who was among the local elected officials calling on Met Council to conduct an environmental review of the wall. Hornstein had been critical of a Met Council-led process that he described as “ad hoc” and lacking in

public oversight. “I do feel this affirmed our basic contention that more study needs to be done,” he said. Hornstein, whose district includes the railroad corridor, noted there was already a petition circulating to have Met Council complete an environmental assessment worksheet on the wall. Under Minnesota law, such a petition would require 100 signatures for review by the state’s Environmental Quality Board. Hornstein said Tuesday the petition had more than 50 signatures and that he was looking into whether the state process would lead to a more rigorous review than the supplemental environmental assessment asked for by FTA. “I would favor whatever the most stringent process is,” he said. In an email, Brickman said a supplemental environmental assessment is “essentially a comparable level of environmental review” to an environmental assessment worksheet. She said it is not the same as a supplemental environmental impact statement — such as the one Met Council completed after making significant changes to the SWLRT route, including the addition of a

Police department to add 10 officers with grant The Minneapolis Police Department plans to add 10 sworn officers thanks to a $1.2 million U.S. Department of Justice grant meant to be used for countering gun violence. In a statement, Mayor Betsy Hodges said the city had made a “deliberate and ongoing commitment to end gun violence in every area of our city.” “The awarding of this grant from the Department of Justice is a testament to the success

of efforts already underway under the leadership of Chief (Medaria) Arradondo, City staff and with public-private partnerships in our communities,” Hodges said, according to the statement. “The addition of these 10 new officers will ensure that those successes will not only continue, but accelerate.” About $137 million in funding for local police departments was available in fiscal year 2017 through the Community Oriented Policing

Services (COPS) Hiring Program. Applicants must identify a specific type of crime or focus area for the award, and departments can use the grants to cover up to 75 percent of the entry-level salaries and benefits for new hires. The Minneapolis grant will cover those costs for the 10 officers over a period of three years, the city reported. The grants went to 179 police departments nationwide.

Mayor-elect names key staff members Mayor-elect Jacob Frey named key members of his staff and transition teams in November, including the announcement of former state House member Joe Radinovich as his chief of staff. A DFLer elected in 2012, Radinovich represented north-central Minnesota’s District 10B for one term in St. Paul. After running unopposed in the primary, he lost a close race against Republican Dale Lueck in the 2014 general election. Radinovich later served as an assistant commissioner in the Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation. In addition to his work on Frey’s mayoral campaign, he managed the 2016 campaign that returned U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan to Congress.

Heidi Ritchie and Zack Farley, who both work in Frey’s Ward 3 office, will also join his mayoral staff. Ritchie was named policy initiatives lead and Farley was named administrative and scheduling lead. Leading Frey’s transition team are former mayor R.T. Rybak, now the president and CEO of the Minneapolis Foundation; Sondra Samuels, CEO of the Northside Achievement Zone; and Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation President Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou. Frey also assembled a policy taskforce that will develop short- and long-term recommendations on police accountability and affordable housing, two key issues in the mayoral race and big pieces

tunnel in Minneapolis’ Kenilworth Corridor — which is required when there is a “greater level of anticipated impact,” she added. Met Council officials have said they always planned for some type of barrier along the shared corridor, known as the Wayzata Subdivision, and that after talks with BNSF they agreed to lengthen and connect a series of shorter walls. As planned now, the crash wall would run roughly between Interstate 394 and Interstate 94. Met Council’s shared-use agreement with BNSF also calls for the agency to build a new tail track in the corridor for parking Northstar Commuter Rail trains in between trips to Big Lake. That will require a widening of the corridor and other changes. The Wayzata Subdivision is just part of a much longer railroad corridor that the Minnesota Department of Transportation has determined is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Earlier in November, the FTA informed Met Council it would have to mitigate the “adverse effects” of changes to the historic rail corridor.

of Frey’s policy platform as a candidate. Leading that taskforce will be outgoing Ward 8 Council Member Elizabeth Glidden, who is retiring from office, and Abou Amara, former policy director for the Minnesota House. Frey officially moves into the mayor’s office Jan. 2. A draft transition schedule released in November by the city has the inauguration ceremonies for the new council and mayor scheduled for Jan. 8. The new council would hold its first regular meeting Jan. 26. The current City Council’s final meeting is Dec. 15.

journalmpls.com / November 30–December 13, 2017 7 FROM METRO TRANSIT STRIKE / PAGE 1 The union’s last contract expired at the end of July, and ATU and Met Council have been meeting with a state mediator to try to resolve the contract dispute. Local 1005 President Mark Lawson said the proposed Jan. 26 start date for the strike would “put the pressure on them to get serious about this.” “We already went by a big event with the (Minnesota) State Fair without a contract,” Lawson said. “We want to get this settled.” The union represents bus and light rail vehicle drivers, technicians and office staff employed by Metro Transit. Speaking about Super Bowl plans a few hours before the contract vote results were made public, Metro Transit General Manager Brian Lamb described talk of a strike as “premature” and emphasized that a functioning transit system was key to the Twin Cities successfully hosting a Super Bowl. Plans for game day include using Metro Transit light rail vehicles to shuttle ticket holders inside the security perimeter surrounding U.S. Bank Stadium. “We are very optimistic that we’re going to reach a negotiated settlement as we have with ATU for the last five contract periods,” Lamb said.

Key differences Local 1005 and Met Council are negotiating the terms of a three-year contract that will be retroactive to Aug. 1. Lawson said there were a few key differences in the positions held by the union and Met Council, including a cap on weekly hours for part-time drivers, the required tool list for mechanics and the union’s proposals to enhance driver safety. Lawson said Met Council was proposing to allow part-time drivers to work more than 30 hours per week, the current limit, if they’re running late due to weather, traffic, construction or other delays. He said that

would push many part-time drivers closer to fulltime hours while retaining just their part-time benefits, adding that many of those drivers chose the job because they don’t want to work more than 30 hours a week. Regarding the toolbox required of mechanics, Lawson said the union and Met Council had been working together to update a tool list that hadn’t been modified in about 30 years. Both sides agree those updates are needed to keep pace with changing technology, he said, but the union wants a significant increase in the $400-peryear tool allowance for mechanics. Without that change, Lawson said, mechanics would face a steep increase in out-of-pocket expenses. The union is also negotiating for enhanced driver safety measures, and Lawson said members have been pushing for the installation of security doors on buses. Physical barriers made of Plexiglas or a similar transparent material are used in a few cities but are not yet common in North America, he said. In addition to being spit on, egged, smacked and groped during 17 years as a bus driver, Metro Transit employee Jeanne O’Niell said she has been threatened with physical harm “more times than I can count.” O’Niell said behavior problems seemed to have gotten worse and that it was time for Metro Transit to take a “proactive approach”

We already went by a big event with the (Minnesota) State Fair without a contract. We want to get this settled.” — Mark Lawson, Local 1005 president to protecting drivers. “The planes have the cockpit. The trains have their locked doors. Why not the bus drivers? We need to be safe,” she said.

Foot-dragging Lawson said the two sides are not quite as far apart on a few other key issues, including pay and benefits. Met Council’s most recent proposal included 2-percent annual raises for workers, he said. The union is also pushing Met Council to add a second on-site clinic — similar to one in the agency’s St. Paul headquarters — for workers based in Minneapolis. Addressing Met Council members before their Oct. 25 meeting, Ryan Timlin, who ran unopposed this fall to succeed Lawson as Local 1005 president, said the agency was to blame for the slow pace of progress on contract talks. “There’s been a lot of feet dragging by Metropolitan Council, so we’re here tonight to make it clear we’re tired of this,” Timlin said. Asked to comment in November, a Met Council spokesperson shared this statement: “We value the work of ATU members and their contribution to our region. We are currently negotiating in good faith through a mediator and are confident we’ll reach an agreement satisfactory to both parties.”

Linda Higgins retiring Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins plans to retire in early 2019 and will not run for re-election when her term expires in 2018. Higgins, who represents District 2, made the announcement in a Nov. 10 letter to constituents that was posted on her Facebook page. District 2 includes the Bryn Mawr and North Loop neighborhoods in Minneapolis, as well as Golden Valley, Medicine Lake, a portion of Plymouth and St. Anthony. “I’m giving this notice now to allow all potential candidates time to weigh their options and for constituents to make an Higgins informed decision,” she wrote. Higgins served two terms on the county board and is currently vice chair. She previously represented downtown and North Minneapolis as the state senator for Minnesota’s District 58 from 1997 to 2012.

Downtown-based First Covenant Church Minneapolis will relocate its approximately 60-bed shelter to St. Olaf Catholic Church during the Super Bowl, it St announced in November. The church will continue to offer all of its services at St.35W Olaf for the four nights, Lead Pastor Dan Collison said. He said they plan on using the moment to amplify how they provide service to people who are homeless, adding that the Super Bowl Host Committee is a partner in the work. “We feel like we’re trying to leverage that moment to tell our story,” Collison said.

First Covenant has since 2010 operated a homeless shelter out of its building, which is adjacent to U.S. Bank Stadium. The church operated a six-month winter shelter until this year, when it began working with St. Stephen’s Human Services to provide a year-round shelter. The church expanded to a year-round shelter after looking at its entire system and considering the needs of the community, including women, who are uniquely vulnerable, Collison said. First Covenant’s shelter is co-ed but is intentionally geared to be mostly women,

Collison said. St. Stephen’s provides professional staffing, wraparound services and on-site social work. Over 80 groups bring in meals and have people who serve as volunteer advocates. Collison said people who use the shelter are fearful about the disruption the Super Bowl will cause, noting the stress people who are homeless already face. He said that fear needs to be engaged with accurate information, noting that being outside of the secure Super Bowl area will be quieter and more amendable to getting sleep and rest.

Mill City Cooks / By Jenny Heck

A FALL VISIT TO A TRUE COTTAGE BUSINESS

estled behind fields and away from Highway 71 in Hutchinson you’ll find Ruth Kinkade’s Abbey Alpaca Farm. Ruth and her farm manager, Todd Fries, currently manage a herd of 13 Huacaya alpaca — four “brothers” and nine “sisters” — which they raise for their fine wool. Each animal produces about 10 pounds of wool per year, which Ruth has processed at local mills around the state, as well as one in North Dakota. When it comes back spun into different weights of yarn, Ruth dyes it and spends her days knitting socks, baby booties, mittens and scarves from the highest quality wool. She also makes felted boot liners and dryer balls from the less desirable wool sheered from the legs or neck of the animals. Ruth and Todd sell all of these products, plus yarn, blankets and rugs, which are processed off the farm, at the Mill City Farmers Market and a few other regional craft shows. Alpaca wool is seven times warmer than sheep wool due to the cold environment in the South American Andes where the animals are native. Wool quality is measured in microns, and the smaller the fiber, the better. Density and fineness make the wool softer. Leading American alpaca have wool that measures around 15 microns — and those champion male breeders will cost you about $625,000! Most Minnesota alpaca wool is 18–20 microns. To put it all in perspective, merino sheep wool is 24 microns, and the highest quality Peruvian alpaca is 8–9 microns.

Alpaca yarn.

One of 13 Huacaya alpaca on Abbey Alpaca Farm in Hutchinson. Submitted photos The alpaca, unlike many of us, are happy when the temperatures start to drop this time of year. Their wool is filled with air to keep them extra warm. Even though the animals are sheered every spring, Ruth and Todd still need to watch the herd in the summer to make sure they stay cool, they explained. Ruth and Todd spray the alpaca with the sprinkler and even keep fans and kiddie pools in the barn. Todd knows all the tricks like this. He has been raising alpaca for 22 years and is one of the leading experts in Minnesota. “You have to be around them every day,” he

said. “You get to know the way they walk and move, so you know if something’s wrong.” Ruth hasn’t always been a farmer. She retired from Minneapolis real estate 14 years ago to pursue her dream of raising animals. “Friends always ask me, don’t you get scared living alone out there?” she said. They’re referring to her farm about an hour west of the cities. “What’s there to be afraid of ? There’s nothing out here!” Ruth is truly at peace surrounded by stars, the northern lights and the quiet of the country. “When you’ve had a day where you come

home and just want to kick the dog, I’ll come down here, sit in the barn and listen to [the alpaca] hum,” she said. “It really brings you back to reality.” Yep, Alpacas hum. Not only do these herd animals hum when they’re happy or to warn others about predators, Todd explained, the male alpacas also make a call that causes females to ovulate. Alpacas don’t go into heat; they can breed anytime. What’s even more impressive is that gestation is typically 11-and-a-half months, or about 350 days. Females can also “pause” birth if the baby is about to be born in the evening and resume it again the next morning so the cria (google it) doesn’t freeze to death in the cold night. You can find Ruth and Todd of The Abbey Alpaca Farm at Mill City Farmers Market’s upcoming indoor winter markets from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside the Mill City Museum, 704 S. 2nd Street, on Dec. 9 and Jan. 13. Their local wool products make great holiday and host gifts!

New restaurant will likely replace Tin Fish at Calhoun Lola’s Café could open in the Lake Calhoun Refectory by next spring

Tin Fish likely won’t get another year serving fish tacos as park commissioners prepare to approve a new lease with a different operator for the refectory at Lake Calhoun, or Bde Maka Ska. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board’s Administration & Finance Committee on Nov. 15 approved a five-year lease with Lola’s Café, a wings restaurant that has operated concessions stands at U.S. Bank Stadium’s Medtronic Plaza and the Park Board’s Jim Lupient Water Park in Northeast Minneapolis. One big change that would come with Lola’s is less emphasis on the lake’s historic refectory and more on the rest of the lake, which would see more kiosks to account for demand. “We intend to program the entire lake,” owner Louis King told commissioners. The beloved seasonal seafood restaurant closed last season after longtime owners Athena and Sheff Priest decided not to renew their lease with the Park Board and hand the reigns over to three employees. They continue to operate a Tin Fish restau-

rant in Edina’s Braemar Park. With a need for a new restaurant, the Park Board opened a request for proposals for concessionaires and attracted a dozen interested parties. In the summer, a sevenperson committee made up of commissioners, park staff, neighborhood association representatives and a current park restaurant operator narrowed down the proposals to the new Tin Fish operators and Louis and Beverly King’s Lola’s Café. The restaurant serves smoked wings, hot dogs, brats and seafood, among other items. The lease agreement would be similar to what the board has with its other concessions partners — Lake Harriet’s Bread and Pickle, Lake Nokomis’ Sandcastle and Minnehaha Park’s Sea Salt Eatery — which require contractors to pay 12 percent of gross revenues of sales to the board and invest in improvements to the building. It would begin Jan. 1, 2018 and end at the end of 2023. Park Board President Anita Tabb, whose District 4 includes the northeastern portion of the lake, said she was impressed with

A new restaurant is slated to take over the Lake Calhoun Refectory. Submitted photo King’s creative problem-solving skills and less impressed by the financial knowledge of the new Tin Fish ownership group. “Creativity in business is really important,” she said. “I know change is very difficult, but I’m excited about the possibilities of this.” At-Large Commissioner Annie Young, who noted she was a longtime friend of King’s, said he has helped young adults learn skills and “how to make it.” King, who has employed young people at his other concepts, told commissioners he plans to do the same at the lake.

“You have helped so many young people. You have really shown the light,” Young told him at the meeting. The full board was expected to vote on the lease Nov. 29, after this issue went to press. If the lease is approved, Lola’s Café would be the first black-owned restaurant to operate at the lake. King said he expects the café to open in April. The refectory is one of the most popular park destinations in the city. As part of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park, the area is the most-visited park in the state with nearly 6 million visitors annually. The Park Board is in the process of expanding its concessions operations with a new restaurant at Water Works, a new park pavilion and riverfront destination near the Mill District in downtown Minneapolis. Earlier this year, the board selected The Sioux Chef, a concept specializing in indigenous cuisine developed by chef Sean Sherman and partner Dana Thompson, to operate the city’s first year-round park restaurant inside the new building.

Blessing Hancock’s lanterns are etched with poetry from local writers.

FROM NICOLLET MALL / PAGE 1 The design, which he said is supposed to evoke the state’s landscape, was crafted around a local identity and a goal to inspire interaction. “We wanted to bring simplicity, clarity, light and space to the street,” he said. The City of Minneapolis funded the project through $25 million in local property assessments, $21.5 million in state bonding and $3.5 million in city contributions.

The 1968 Sculpture Clock.

City Council President Barb Johnson said she remembered visiting the mall daily as a child, traveling between North Minneapolis to downtown every day to go to school. When city officials sought bonding money from the Legislature, Johnson said they promoted the mall as a resource for everyone. “We made the case that this was the state’s living room, and it is. It’s a place for all of us,” she said. City officials touted that the project has already attracted $300 million in investment with the transformation of the historic Dayton’s building on 7th & Nicollet. As the mall reopens, the department store’s name will return in a new form. New owners have proposed to redevelop the 1.2 million-square-

foot complex for new retail and office tenants and a new food hall under the name the “Dayton’s Project.” “Things have changed. Times have changed. Shopping habits have changed, but our mall has adapted,” Johnson said. The first iteration of the Nicollet Mall opened about five decades ago and, while many stores and structures have changed, old sights remain. The inner workings of the 1968 Sculpture Clock by Jack Nelson are working again thanks in part to a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society. Kinji Akagawa’s “Enjoyment of Nature,” a series of designed benches first put on the mall during its first renovation in the 1990s, were restored and reinstalled at the end of October. The reopening ceremony was a sign of how the lengthy renovation has passed between city leaders. City officials began planning the renovation under former Mayor R.T. Rybak, who passed the baton to Hodges. The last pieces, from additional trees to sculptor

The Mary Tyler Moore statue by artist Gwendolyn Gillen. Tristan Al-Haddad’s “Nimbus” slated for the Minneapolis Central Library, will be added in the months leading up to and immediately following Mayor-elect Jacob Frey taking office. “I won’t be mayor in the coming years, but I will always love Minneapolis. I will always love downtown. And I will always love coming to Nicollet and remembering what it took to get here. After all this, we made it,” Hodges said. Frey, who represents the north end of the mall on the City Council, thanked Hodges, saying she was an “absolutely critical piece” in realizing the project, which could have been a temporary, surface-level restoration instead of a complete overhaul. “This is a really significant improvement. We all collectively should be extremely proud. This is the main street not just of Minneapolis, but of Minnesota as a whole,” he said.

Your holiday gift giving is about much more than placing something in a box and tying it up with a pretty ribbon.

Holiday

Gift Guide 2017

Compiled by Dylan Thomas, Eric Best, Michelle Bruch and Nate Gotlieb

You want to thrill your Prince-fanatic friend with the gift of a tour of the Twin Cities’ purplest landmarks. Or maybe you want to inspire the creativity of a loved one with a hand sculpted in graphite that — surprise! — doubles as an art tool. Or give your family something to savor with a holiday gift basket from the snack wizards at Surdyk’s. With that in mind, we spread out across Minneapolis to find the best the city had to offer this holiday season and gifts that will delight their recipients long after they unwrap them.

If you’re looking for something … Southwest

… to thrill Fat bike rental

Available to rent by the day or the week, fat bikes offer a chance to hit the trails in the dead of winter.

… to inspire Graphite drawing hand

To-do lists become a bit more inspired when they’re written with pieces that double as artwork.

“You just point and pedal,” Neis said. “If you’re strong enough to pedal the bike, it will get you there.”

The Batle Studio Graphite workshop describes this graphite hand as both a poetic metaphor, suggesting the hand’s capacity for creativity, and a functional drawing tool, writable on all surfaces and meant to last thousands of hours. The concept came from San Francisco artist Agelio Batle, who cast his own hand in graphite every day in the year 1999.

Some customers take bikes off marked trails through the woods, he said, and others rent fat bikes for excursions to Duluth or Cuyuna. Those who go on to purchase a fat bike from Farmstead can deduct the rental cost up to one month after rental.

If there’s a reader in your life who also loves the outdoors — particularly those wild and remote places best accessed by canoe — put “Border Country” at the top of your holiday shopping list. A large, handsome volume published this fall by University of Minnesota Press, “Border Country” collects the travel journals of Milwaukee businessman Howard Green, who in the early 1900s made a series of long summer canoe trips into northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Canada, mixing with lumberjacks and native people at the fastretreating fringe of the wilderness. Green was a skilled amateur photographer, and the book is illustrated with dozens of pictures of Northwoods scenery, including parts of what would become the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Kombucha subscription This sounds like a strange idea, but take a second to think about it.

The concept of escape rooms originated in Japan and Korea and arrived in the U.S. via San Francisco, according to Allen. He said Riddle Room’s games are slightly different from traditional escape room games, since the object of its games isn’t actually to escape from a room. Objectives range from stopping a pretend missile from launching to proving that a king isn’t the rightful heir to a throne.

The fermented tea has become a regular part of so many people’s diets that Whittier’s Gyst Fermentation Bar recently launched a subscription program for their house-brewed kombuchas, which come in a rotating variety of flavors (including, recently, ginger-peppermint chamomile and aronia flavored with Wisconsin-grown berries). Gyst will deliver two 32-ounce growlers of kombucha to any Twin Cities door on a monthly or biweekly basis.

TBH Café x LWM coffee sleeve A coffee sleeve won’t exactly turn heads at a company gift exchange, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great gift. This coffee cup sleeve featuring subtle branding from The Bachelor Farmer Café turns a simple cup of coffee into a fashion accessory thanks to black leather from St. Paul-based Leather Works Minnesota. The sleeve, which fits most to-go cups, would also make a great stocking stuffer for a friend or loved one who wants to stick out in the oﬃce crowd or reduce waste by cutting out those cardboard sleeves.

The cotton and minky blankets will help friends and loved ones raise their young Minnesotan in true northern style, and the little ones will have fun finding their own favorite designs — not to mention subconsciously becoming Minnesota Twins fans.

For a friend who’s looking to make changes in their life or a coworker who’s always looking for advice, here’s a different kind of planner then what’s on the shelves of oﬃce stores.

The Happiness Planner won’t buy you happiness, but it will get the recipient thinking about the positive things in their life and develop mindfulness. The planner features guided exercises, prompts and weekly reflection pages to help someone to make goals, while regular quotes and words of wisdom will keep them going.

‘Prince from Minneapolis’ More than a year-and-a-half after the death of Prince, the Weisman Art Museum is paying tribute to the Purple One with a major exhibition. The show explores the forces at work in Minneapolis that helped create and give shape to Prince. It includes images by four photographers that captured Prince during his early years in Minneapolis, as well as work by artists inspired by Prince. Objects on display include art dolls created in Prince’s likeness by Seattle-based artist Troy Gua, a portrait of Prince by Minnesotan seed artist Lillian Colton, a Prince-inspired bicycle by frame builder Eric Noren and a specially commissioned mural by Minneapolis artist Rock Martinez. The show kicks off with a preview party with a purple lounge, small bites, a cash bar and, of course, Prince tunes. When: Dec. 9–June 17. Preview party: Friday, Dec. 8, from 7 p.m.–10 p.m. Where: Weisman Art Museum, 333 E. River Road Cost: Free museum admission; $25 for preview party ($10 students) Info: wam.umn.edu

British Arrows Awards The Walker Art Center’s annual screening of the British Arrows Awards — nicknamed the Brits — has been a holiday tradition for years. The ongoing sell-out status of the show indicates there’s something accessible about it even for those who don’t work in advertising. The commercials run the gamut from lighthearted and heartwarming bits featuring cheeky, droll British humor, to epic clips starring sports players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, and other commercials

‘An “Eventually” Christmas’ Back in the late 1800s, Minneapolis received the nickname “Mill City” when the mills along the Mississippi River starting cornering the flour industry. The Washburn A Mill was the second largest of the mills, creating Gold Medal Flour for the Washburn-Crosby Company (which later became General Mills). The company was known for its lavish Christmas parties, which lasted all day and featured music, vaudeville entertainment and quirky competitions, including a pillow fight and a “fat men’s race.” While working at the Mill City Museum, which resides in the ruins of the mill, comic performer and playwright Joseph Scrimshaw spent hours going through copies of the company’s employee newsletter, The Eventually News, named for the company slogan, “You’re going to try Gold Medal Flour eventually… Why not now?” From that material, he was inspired to write “An ‘Eventually’ Christmas,” a unique theatrical production staged in the museum’s eight-story flour tower elevator. It travels from floor to floor for each scene, guided by the Ghost of Mill City Past, on the eve of the 1920 Washburn-Crosby Christmas party as costumed actors recreate scenes, including the fabled pillow fight. Pro tip: While you’re there, take advantage of the opportunity to check out the museum’s observation deck, which has great views of the Mississippi, Saint Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. When: Dec. 14–15 at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Dec. 16–17 at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Where: Mill City Museum, 704 S. 2nd St. Cost: $20 adults, $18 seniors & college students, $16 ages 17 and under and MNHS members Info: millcitymuseum.org

A portion of proceeds from the ticket sales benefit nonprofit Be the Match.

such as Red Wing Heritage, Duluth Pack and Leatherworks Minnesota. Since then, the pop-up has traveled the world, popping up everywhere from L.A. to Moscow, and even opened a permanent storefront in New York City. The market also expanded beyond men’s goods to sell finely crafted products by makers and manufacturers across

America, spanning home goods, skincare and women’s fashions.

The festival also features appearances from Santa, hot food and beverages, an ice skating rink and film screenings.

PICKS

The year of revealing things

Shamir Bailey describing his career path as a “little unorthodox” is a colossal understatement.

MUSIC / FOOD / DRINKS / ART OUTDOORS / ENTERTAINMENT SOCIAL / SHOPPING WHAT TO DO DOWNTOWN AFTER WORK BY ERIC BEST

Bailey was a rising star in the indie music world thanks to his debut album, “Ratchet,” and big songs like “On the Regular,” which led him to performing on late-night TV, starring in Apple commercials and getting signed to the label that led to Adele’s stardom. Much of this came before he could legally drink. Fast forward two years and Bailey has released two more albums. Their difference is stark. In place of the upbeat disco and electro-pop in his earlier work, 2017’s “Hope” and, more recently, “Revelations” are lo-fi, raw and visceral. They came after Bailey was dropped from his label, the artist ditched two albums worth of songs he created with a friend and a point where the Las Vegas native almost quit music altogether. If 2016, as Kylie Jenner put it, was the year of realizing things, this year led to answers. “This year was the year of realizing a lot of things about myself and my own little world and my personal life,” he said. “‘Revelations’ is an answer record. ‘Hope’ is full of questions.”

Shamir will play songs from his newly released album “Revelations” at First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on Wednesday, Dec. 6. Submitted photo

“Revelations,” which was released in November, features nine introspective, guitar-driven songs that show off the emotional range of the 23-year-old’s characteristic countertenor voice. It begins with “Games,” which Bailey says he wrote to vent out frustrations. It lays bare that he is wearing his shortcomings and imperfections on his sleeve, he added (“I don’t have much to offer you / But my soul, my heart and everything I’ve been through”).

DRINKS

TAKE A BREAK

Diners will only be able to find this cocktail lounge one night of the week. The Break Room, a small bar tucked away at the Machine Shop near St. Anthony Main, offers a fun escape from the usual happy hours of beer and fries. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Marcy-Holmes bar serves a lineup of under-valued modern cocktails ($13), such as the unloved Warday’s, a strange but delicious fall beverage that combines gin with apple brandy, green chartreuse and sweet vermouth. Modeled after a whiskey sour, the Gold Rush is the best medicine with bourbon, lemon and honey. The Paper Plane, a cocktail originally named after M.I.A.’s decade-old song “Paper Planes,” is another take on the whiskey sour, but this time with the added complexities of Amaro Nonino and Aperol. If nothing jumps out at you,

the able bartenders, led by Stefan van Voorst, will design a drink for you based off a spirit, style or flavor. The food matches the curated selection of cocktails with a variety of strange but tasty bar treats. The current menu from chef Nettie Colón features yucca fries ($5) or a Hungarian brat nosh ($7) to start off an evening. The Welsh curry poutine ($7) is a unique — not to mention healthier — version of the Canadian comfort food, with satisfyingly chewy paneer curds, fresh tater tots and a warm curry sauce. If you’re really hungry, the lounge even serves pot roast ($9). After a long Monday in the oﬃce, the lounge would be a fun and interesting respite to break up the humdrum of happy hours.

Other songs, such as “90’s Kids,” are a little more tongue in cheek, though no less honest for Bailey, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder following his last album. Put a drink in the air for millennials, Bailey sings on the track, as they struggle through “paralyzing anxiety.” On “Straight Boy,” the musician, who is queer, vents about the men who cling to a “false sense of pride” (“Cause being true is not their thing / Oh, it eats them up internally / And they take it out on people like me all the time”). That piece of his music dominated the noise around his previous work. “The press has been easier now. The novelty of me being a queer artist is kind of dying down. Thank God,” he said. A few songs offer a glimpse into Bailey’s personal life. On “Her Story,” Bailey sings about cooking for a loved one. It’s bit of a throwback to the singer’s childhood, which, thanks to an early growth spurt and a natural ability to cook, was spent preparing full meals for his family. “Cloudy” subtly delves into his religious influences — the Mormon community of Vegas, being raised Muslim and his mom’s other spiritual beliefs. “Revelations” is a remarkable window into the mind of a captivating ﬁgure in the indie music world. Shamir will perform songs from the album at First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on Wednesday, Dec. 6. New York-based soft math rock band Peaer (pronounced like “pear”) will open the all-ages show.

MUSIC

Best of the best

For readers, Bailey recommends listening to “Mourn,” the latest album from St. Paul’s Corbin, formerly known as Spooky Black. The emo crooner’s new goth-tinged record is icy, laden with synths and dripping in a dark, lonely sadness.

Two of the most exciting Twin Cities performers have put together back-to-back shows in December. Indie rock band Bad Bad Hats will headline an early all-ages show and a late 18-plus show on Saturday, Dec. 16 at 7th Street Entry. The trio of frontwoman Kerry Alexander, drummer Chris Hoge and bassist Noah Boswell worked with local producer Brett Bullion to make their celebrated debut album “Psychic Reader.” The producer teamed up with up-and-coming electro-pop singer Jessica Manning to bring her last album, this year’s “What if I Run,” to life. The local singer-songwriter will open the two Bad Bad Hats shows.

Bailey is already at work on the next album, which he said will be a concept record.
