acob Frey, who campaigned on a “fresh start” for Minneapolis, pledging to tackle an affordable housing crisis and forge ahead with police reforms, emerged from a field of 16 to win the 2017 mayoral contest. Frey, who led with close to 25 percent of first-choice votes on election night, was declared the unofficial winner just before 2 p.m. on Nov. 8, about 18 hours after polls closed in the city’s third go-round with ranked-choice voting. The Ward 3 City Council member appeared to have a strong chance of winning, but it took five rounds of counting second- and third-choice votes SEE FREY / PAGE 10

From plastic to concrete Public Works is eyeing upgrades to the protected bikeway network in 2018

By Dylan Thomas / dthomas@journalmpls.com Concrete curbs and vegetated medians could replace plastic bollards along portions of the city’s protected bicycle lane network in 2018. Minneapolis will have about 20 miles of protected bicycle lanes by the end of the 2017 construction season but just a few blocks of curb-protected bike lane, found on Oak Street near the University of Minnesota campus. The Public Works Department aims to extend that curb next year, one of six similar projects transportation planner Elizabeth Heyman said were in early development for 2018. Heyman said the retrofit projects were planned for streets that already have bicycle lanes, many of them separated from motorvehicle traffic by the now-familiar white plastic bollards. Curbs and medians offer

“greater physical separation” from motorvehicle traffic, she noted, and could be even more effective at encouraging people to ride. “There’s new, up-and-coming research every day that shows people feel more comfortable with these types of designs,” Heyman said. Concrete curbs and medians are also tougher than the plastic bollards used to delineate on-street bikeways, which are often flattened or knocked out of position by wayward motorists, she added. While not yet common in Minneapolis, they can be found on the streets of Chicago, New York, San Francisco and other U.S. cities.

Safety and comfort Ethan Fawley, executive director of Our Streets Minneapolis, said the plastic bollards have their advantages. “We can get a lot more miles at lower cost with bollards,” Fawley said, noting they are also easier to move and adjust as the city responds to the needs of road users. But the nonprofit has been pushing the city to add routes with the “highquality, comfortable feel” that more robust barriers provide, he said. “We definitely are excited,” Fawley said. A 2014 Portland State University study surveyed people in five U.S. cities that have added protected bicycle lanes and found they increased ridership and were preferred by

both bicyclists and nearby residents. Canadian researchers in 2012 published a study of 690 cyclists injured while biking on the streets of Vancouver and Toronto, and their findings suggested cyclists were safer riding in bike lanes physically separated from motor vehicle traffic. In Minneapolis, protected bicycle lanes play a key role in Council-approved strategies to add bike facilities that feel safe and comfortable to a broader range of cyclists and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by making it easier for more residents to use bicycles on local trips. Although they aren’t in the city’s plans for 2018, Fawley said planters were “absolutely SEE PROTECTED / PAGE 2

2 journalmpls.com / November 16–29, 2017 FROM PROTECTED / PAGE 1 the preferred form of protection.” They are not just strong but tall, sending a strong message to drivers to stay away. And they can be used to beautify urban streets, he added.

Six projects Funding for the six projects would come from the city’s protected bikeways program. Mayor Betsy Hodges’s 2018 budget includes $1 million for that program, but budget talks are ongoing and Heyman said Public Works was still evaluating how much it could accomplish with that level of funding. In addition to the Oak Street project, there are plans to upgrade existing bike lanes to curb protection on Plymouth Avenue between Penn and University avenues; on 11th Avenue between South 6th Street and West River Parkway; and on 12th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues. Various options, including a curb, are being considered for 3rd Avenue South between 12th and 16th streets, and Public Works is looking to test a planted median on a block or two of Blaisdell Avenue somewhere between 32nd and 42nd streets. While a segment of curb-protected bike lane on Oak Street was built with parking lot bumpers lined up end-to-end, a second block-length curb added in November reflects the city’s preferred design: roughly two feet wide and 6–7 inches tall. They’ll be used in combination with plastic bollards, Heyman said. While the curbs are more expensive up front, they may prove cheaper in the long run if they reduce the maintenance costs associated with the plastic bollards, which must be replaced when they are lost or broken, she said. Public Works also plans to monitor how the curbs and median perform

No stopping Nick Mason, who serves on the Bicycle Advisory Committee, suggested a solid curb could prove more effective than widely spaced bollards at discouraging motorists from illegally driving or parking in bicycle lanes, a common annoyance for cyclists.

Mason, who also serves as deputy director of BicycleMN, a nonprofit that advocates for bike safety statewide, said it’s understandable bicyclists would seek out protected lanes, especially with the rise of distracted driving. Districted drivers aren’t typically a problem on the city’s network of off-street trails, which Mason described as “second to none,” but opportunities to expand that network are now few and far between. “There aren’t opportunity to build trails

anymore,” he said. “We’ve taken all we could.” Although the retrofit projects planned in 2018 will be upgrading streets with existing bicycle lanes, Mason noted the expansion of the protected bicycle lane network has “a real safety effect” for all road users. The projects often involve narrowing or reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes, which has the effect of reducing speeds and the risk of serious injury in a crash.

MARSHALL TERRACE

Capone, craft cocktails meet at Al’s Place There are secretive bars. Then there are speakeasies. Then there’s Al’s Place. There is no shortage of Twin Cities bars inspired by Prohibition and the bootleggers of last century, but the bar built out on top of Stanley’s NE Bar Room is more of a living, breathing testament to the era. The fact that there are so many modern speakeasies is exactly why Steve Benowitz, David Benowitz and Luke Derheim, CEO, COO and operations director of Craft & Crew Hospitality, respectively, decided to go all out on the concept. “We want to blow you away when you come in the door. From the staff interaction to the entertainment to the people in character, everything is an experience,” said Derheim, who also is a co-owner of Al’s. The Al’s experience starts with finding the door. There are two: Find the green light on the outside of the building at Lowry & University for a direct entrance, or go through the ground-floor restaurant. “You hop in the photo booth, you close the curtain and then you knock on the other side. Then you disappear from Stanley’s,” Derheim said. Diners are greeted by a doorman who will go over the ground rules and then a maître d› in full 1920s attire. Walk through the fog and find a table, belly up to the bar or reserve the best seat in the 75-seat restaurant, a large booth known as Al’s table. The name is a throwback to the building,

which in the 1940s was known as Al’s Place. But in 2017, the second story has been taken over by one of the most famous bootleggers of them all, Al Capone. The bar, a former private dining and event space, has been completely redone with big changes like new wood floors and new walls and small touches like plaster-like details on the walls and Parisian-style wallpaper in the bathrooms. When customers need service or another drink they can push a light switch to signal staff. “We touched every surface,” David Benowitz said. The concept features a classic Italian menu with sections for antipasto, savory crepes, salads and entrees like the popular pot roast served over parmesan risotto or the linguini with walnut sauce, Capone’s favorite. For dessert, there is pie, butterscotch budino or the Campbell’s tomato soup cake, which Derheim said tastes more like a pumpkin spice cake. Craft & Crew brought on Jon “Sunshine” Robinson to lead the bar. Robinson, who worked at bar programs at Coup d’état and Lou Nanne’s Steakhouse, was previously at the bar downstairs. The cocktail program is far different from Stanley’s or Craft & Crew’s other neighborhood-focused restaurants and sports bars. Robinson and the bartenders make their own ice, syrups and bitters to support the

menu of signature drinks, all unique takes on classic drinks. Each drink gets its own piece of furniture as a nod toward Capone, whose first “front” was a furniture store, so the check won’t come back with cocktail names on it. The ottoman or house old fashioned ($11) combines the butterscotch and caramel notes of Knob Creek bourbon with apple brandy from Laird & Company — the oldest licensed distillery in the country — demerara syrup and an original blend of bitters. Mocktails are showing up on drink menus throughout the city, but they have a historical precedent in the time of Prohibition. Four $5 mocktails that are based on cocktails are available at Al’s. There’s the Orange Elegance — Robinson describes it as a sexier, nonalcoholic version of a madras — and the eggwhite lemonade, which, beyond being the favorite beverage of Robinson’s daughter, was a popular drink in the 1920s, he said. Al’s serves an added experience with a captain’s list, a small menu of $35 cocktails that are more complex, are made at the table and come with a side of history — even fire. This isn’t the drink program at Stanley’s, the founders stressed. “This cocktail program is so widely different from what we’ve done in any of the other stores or downstairs,” Derheim said. Al’s has lounge music on Friday and Saturday nights from 8:30 p.m.–11:30 p.m. — though those hours may change over time — courtesy of Mia Dorr, a veteran of the Twin Cities music scene for the past two decades. A cocktail hour from 5 p.m.–7 p.m. comes with $10 off the captain’s list, $1 jumbo

Benowitz said in its first month, the experience-driven approach and the depth of the concept at Al’s have been well received. “I want to be different. I want to do something new. I want to set the bar. I don’t like to copy anyone. So, if we can be that trendsetter for the community, that’s what I’m striving for,” he said. Al’s Place is open 5 p.m.–1 a.m. Thursday, 5 p.m.–2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 5 p.m.– midnight Sunday at 2500 University Ave. NE.

TARGET CENTER

Jack Link’s shows oﬀ Wild Side retail store Jack Link’s Protein Snacks is showing off a new side to its jerky business with “Wild Side,” a retail store that opened in early November in the Target Center skyway. The 1,000-square-foot retail concept offers bags of the brand’s signature beef jerky, plus a dozen or so other varieties of protein snacks, and an array of other merchandise meant to capitalize on the popularity of the company’s products and its mascot, Sasquatch. “This is trying to immerse people into the experience of Jack Link’s,” Chief Marketing Officer Tom “TD” Dixon said during the store’s soft opening. “You obviously see jerky, but, most importantly, you also see how our brand comes to life.” Jack Link’s envisions Wild Side as a place for hungry office workers to grab a quick bite of protein with the company’s line of jerky, which in recent years has expanded with a wider selection of meats and flavors. Fans of the snacks won’t find just one kind, but nearly all of the company’s jerky varieties, from Applewood smoked breakfast bacon — a product designed to give snackers protein in the morning —to flame-grilled steakhouse beef jerky. Beyond the snacks, Wild Side features products “for your lair,” such as wooden “Sasquatch Crossing” signs, Sasquatch lamps and even Sasquatch alarm clocks. Dixon said the company wanted to bring unique, “treasure hunt” sort of items to the store, which offers “Sasquatch Patrol” water bottles, Sasquatch playing cards and Sasquatch crib-

bage boards. “Wear your wild side” T-shirts and other apparel designed around the brand are also available. Dixon said the skyway location in the newly renovated city-owned arena, an “artery for all the downtown life,” will give them access to Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx fans who can shop at the store on game days. The company has partnered with the teams before, including a recent ad campaign featuring Sasquatch working out with Timberwolves player Karl-Anthony Towns. Jack Link’s is already planning to expand the Wild Side concept to other cities, including Las Vegas and cities like New York City and Orlando. Dixon said they hope to begin opening additional stores in the next year or so. Wild Side is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon–6 p.m. on Saturday with extended hours during Target Center events. It’s closed on Sundays. It officially opened Thursday, Nov. 9 and got a grand opening in mid-November. The retail concept is just one side of the business Jack Link’s is looking to develop. Just across the street, the company is currently building out a new office, innovation center and restaurant. In a new research and development test kitchen, the company will test out new products and offer them to the public to try out and give feedback. Currently Jack Link’s has a pilot plant at the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus, in addition to labs in

other cities. Wes Castelsky, the company’s executive research and development chef, said they’re testing out more products, such as leaner salmon jerky, to appeal to other kinds of consumers. At a media preview in November, the brand showed off culinary uses for the jerky products, from a bloody mary shaken with Jack Link’s Original Chew to a quiche made with pepper-infused jerky. The company didn’t disclose any new information on its restaurant concept, but that is slated for a space at 6th & Hennepin in Mayo Clinic Square. “There is a lot of culinary expertise that goes into making our product. It’s a lot more than just dried meat,” Castelsky said. Dixon said the research and development center is expected to open at the end of the first quarter next year. Jack Link’s employees will begin moving to the Mayo Clinic Square office in December. The new office space has room for up to 300 employees, which Dixon said

ONLY P1

Jack Link’s offers Sasquatch-themed home goods and gear at its new Wild Side store. Submitted photos leaves them with space for the growing company to expand. Dixon said their budding brand presence and product lines have led Jack Link’s to expand beyond just its original product. “All of that really culminates in us becoming more than just a beef jerky company, but really becoming a protein snacking company,” he said.

SWLRT crash wall requires mitigation Steps must be taken to mitigate the negative effect a mile-long crash wall would have on a potentially historic Minneapolis railroad corridor, according to a Federal Transit Administration report. The Metropolitan Council added the 10-foothigh barrier to its Southwest Light Rail Transit project late this summer. Met Council’s plan to extend its METRO Green Line 14.5 miles to Eden Prairie calls for light rail trains to exit Downtown Minneapolis along the Wayzata Subdivision, and the rail corridor’s owner, BNSF Railway, demanded a crash wall in exchange for its use. The thick, concrete wall will run from roughly the Interstate 394 bridge, near the future Bryn Mawr Station, to just north of the Interstate 94 bridge, separating parallel freight and light rail tracks. Met Council had previously planned for some corridor protection in that area but agreed with BNSF to connect and extend several shorter segments of wall. Met Council’s shared-use agreement with BNSF also calls for a new “tail track” where Northstar

Commuter Rail vehicles can be stored between trips Big Lake. Tail track construction will widen the corridor and remove some walls and embankments considered part of the potentially historic railroad corridor, the second of two “adverse effects” requiring mitigation under the terms of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Wayzata Subdivision is a small segment of the much longer St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad/Great Northern Railway Historic District, which extends all the way to the North Dakota border. The Minnesota Department of Transportation had previously determined that the district is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The FTA is requiring MnDOT’s Cultural Resources Unit and the SWLRT project office to develop the mitigation plan in consultation with the Minnesota Historic Preservation Office, the City of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and Hennepin County. There will also be opportunities for public input on the wall, including its design. In a Nov. 7 letter to Met Council, the FTA set a

Plans set to counter sex trafficking during Super Bowl Local officials on Nov. 1 laid out plans to prevent and disrupt sex trafficking during the Super Bowl week and beyond. During the game week, law enforcement agencies plan on continuing efforts to recover victims, interrupt trafficking and arrest perpetrators, Minneapolis Police Sgt. Grant Snyder said. Meanwhile, local agencies plan on increasing public awareness, enhancing services for victims and preventing and disrupting buyers and sellers. Officials explained these efforts in front of the Minneapolis City Council Committee of the Whole. They stressed that the work is ongoing but that the Super Bowl on Feb. 4 presents an opportunity to bring more attention and resources to it. “Sex trafficking happens 365 days,” said Amanda Koonjbeharry, who oversees Hennepin County’s No Wrong Door initiative. “We don’t want folks just engaged in this point in time, but we want folks fighting this horrendous crime all the time.” Snyder said the Guardian Angels operation and associated recovery operations would be the cornerstone of law enforcement’s approach during the Super Bowl week. The law enforcement team will include officers and federal agents from about 20 different jurisdictions, he said. Guardian Angels is a law enforcement program that targets buyers of underage sex. Agencies have officers pose as juvenile victims and aim to arrest buyers who are knowingly seeking such victims. Typically 7–12 percent of people who respond

to the initial ad make it through all elements of a crime and show up to be arrested, Snyder said. In terms of an investigative presence, the majority of law enforcement’s efforts will be focused online, Snyder said. He added that the Minneapolis Police Department plans on collecting information from out-of-state agencies through its online portal. Law enforcement also will be prepared to respond on the streets, Snyder said, adding that he doesn’t foresee a huge increase in that activity. According to University of Minnesota researchers, there’s some data showing the Super Bowl, like other large events, correlates with an increase in online sex ads. But the researchers say that impact is short-lived and often overblown in the media and other reports. Lulete Mola, director of community impact for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, said the work around the Super Bowl is a continuation of efforts that have been happening for about six years. The Women’s Foundation of Minnesota launched a five-year, multimillion-dollar campaign in November 2011 aimed at ending sex trafficking in Minnesota. Foundation leaders aimed to decrease demand for child sex trafficking, educate and mobilize public support, redefine sex-trafficked minors as victims of a crime and ensure access to specialized housing and treatment. The campaign helped usher in major changes in Minnesota. The state Legislature passed the Safe Harbor Law in 2011, which redefined youth who engage in prostitution as victims and survi-

45-day deadline for completion of a draft mitigation plan. A community open house on the crash wall is scheduled for 5 p.m.–7 p.m. Nov. 15 at Bryn Mawr Community School, 252 Upton Ave. S. Met Council staff plans to share and take comments on design options for the wall. The agency also plans pop-up events that week on the Kenilworth Trail to gather comments from bicyclists and pedestrians. While the wall will be 10 feet high on the freight rail side, it will appear just 4–8 feet tall on the light rail side, the same view trail users will have. The taller side faces the Bryn Mawr neighborhood. In a resolution passed in October, the Bryn Mawr Neighborhood Association put in writing concerns that the wall would create a new physical barrier between the neighborhood and the city and that it could reflect sounds from passing freight traffic toward nearby homes. Met Council plans to begin construction on the $1.9-billion SWLRT project next year. Passenger service is expected to begin in 2022.

vors, not criminals. The Legislature had also dedicated $11 million as of this past January to provide services to survivors. The next phase of the campaign aims to reduce demand for sex trafficking; create protection strategies; increase visibility, outreach and services; and build systems and infrastructure. Koonjbeharry said Mayo Clinic is developing a gift registry that will allow people to donate items to shelters. The organization is looking to launch the registry in early December, she said. She cited a pair of public-awareness campaigns funded by the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, including one targeting men and boys. The Duluth-based organization Men as Peacemakers is leading that campaign, which is called “Don’t Buy it” and promotes the message that sex trafficking isn’t a victimless crime. On the street level, agencies and nonprofits such as The Link will have more staff available, increase drop-in center hours and put more teams of outreach workers onto the streets, Executive Director Beth Holger-Ambrose said. She said the agencies are working to increase the number of shelter beds available during the 10-day Super Bowl festival. Officials with the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee expect more than 1 million visitors during the 10-day Super Bowl festival, which begins Jan. 26. That includes an estimated 125,000 arriving from out of state as game-goers and fans, according to a committee spokesman.

Election reshapes City Council The Council will welcome ﬁve new members in 2018 By Dylan Thomas, Michelle Bruch, Nate Gotlieb and Eric Best After an historic election, the 13-member City Council will welcome five new members in 2018, including three who unseated incumbents. The entire North Side will have new representation on the Council. Jeremiah Ellison, son of DFL U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, defeated Blong Yang in Ward 5, and Phillipe Cunningham unseated Council President Barb Johnson, who for 20 years had represented Ward 4. Cunningham was one of two transgender people of color elected to the Council, an unprecedented event. In Southwest’s Ward 8, a seat left open by Elizabeth Glidden’s decision not to run for a fourth term, voters chose Andrea Jenkins by a large margin. Incumbent John Quincy lost his seat in nearby Ward 11 to Jeremy Schroeder, the policy director for a housing nonprofit. And in Ward 3 — which will send its current council member, Jacob Frey, to the mayor’s office — technology consultant Steve Fletcher came out on top after three rounds of ranked-choice vote tabulating. Incumbents Cam Gordon (Ward 2), Lisa Goodman (Ward 7), Lisa Bender (Ward 10), Andrew Johnson (Ward 12) and Linea Palmisano (Ward 13) won decisive victories in their respective wards, with each race decided on first-choice votes. Ward 6 Council Member Abdi Warsame was re-elected on first choice votes but on a much narrower margin, and it took multiple rounds of vote tabulation for incumbents Kevin Reich (Ward 1) and Alondra Cano (Ward 9) to reclaim their seats. Results of the election remain unofficial until they’re certified. The City Council, acting as the Municipal Canvassing Board, was scheduled to take that action after this edition went to press. The following is a look back at Election Day, and the day after, in the wards of Downtown and Northeast.

Ward 1 Council Member Kevin Reich will get a third term leading the East Side on the Minneapolis

City Council. Reich edged ahead of challenger and fellow DFLer Jillia Pessenda after John Hayden, an independent, was eliminated in the first round of vote tabulation. Pessenda proved to be a tough challenger for Reich, who failed to win the DFL endorsement earlier this year. Reich said in a third term he hopes to continue investing into the city’s infrastructure, taking care of the environment and improving the ward’s connection to the Mississippi River. “These are substantial, real things that improve people’s lives that are direct from the city,” he said. Pessenda, a Windom Park resident, joined the race after serving as the finance director for State Rep. Ilhan Omar’s District 60B campaign. Pessenda was an early supporter of a $15 minimum wage in Minneapolis and previously worked on a successful effort to pass a state marriage equality bill.

Ward 3 DFL candidate Steve Fletcher, a technology consultant who lives in Downtown East, won in Ward 3 over Socialist Alternative candidate Ginger Jentzen in the third round of vote tabulation. Jentzen appeared to lead at first, garnering 34 percent of first-choice votes to Fletcher’s 28 percent, according to unofficial election returns. Tim Bildsoe, a DFL candidate and former Plymouth City Council member who moved to the North Loop before running for office, and Samantha Pree-Stinson, a Green Party candidate, also vied for the seat representing parts of downtown, Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis. As the ranked-choice voting process played out, first Pree-Stinson and then Bildsoe was eliminated. Second- and third-choice votes boosted Fletcher over Jentzen. Speaking at an election night party, Fletcher said he attracted supporters of other candidates because he didn’t alienate voters by ignoring those who didn’t support his campaign. “I’m never going to agree with everybody or

perfectly represent everybody because nobody could do that, but we made a real effort to be really inclusive and invite a lot of people in to solve problems together,” he said. Fletcher said his plan is to take what he campaigned on and what he learned throughout the election and make housing more affordable for Minneapolis residents. “I think affordable housing is the most important that the next [City Council] can do. I think both my support and Ginger’s support show that affordable housing is a priority,” he said. Jentzen ran after leading a campaign to enact a $15 minimum wage. Addressing a crowd of more than 100 supporters on election night, Jentzen said her campaign showed there was support for socialist candidates if they are able to demonstrate clear differences with “corporate-backed” DFL candidates. “We will continue to stand up. We will continue to fight back. We will continue to put forward the need for struggle, solidarity and socialist politics. These results are just the beginning, and we really have a world to win,” she said.

Ward 6 City Council Member Abdi Warsame took over 50 percent of first-choice votes to win re-election in Ward 6, but challenger Mohamud Noor was close behind at 47 percent. Just 239 votes separated the two. A third candidate, Fadumo Yusuf, garnered less than 3 percent of first-choice votes. Noor filed a formal request for a recount, a City of Minneapolis spokeswoman confirmed Nov. 13. On Facebook the night after election, Noor wrote that Warsame’s lead was because of “alleged illegal behavior including bringing voters from outside Minneapolis to participate in our elections, and campaigning at multiple poll locations.” “Many locations had more people voting from that address than could lawfully occupy the residence,” Noor wrote. Warsame disputed the claims in an interview. He said he hadn’t heard of any

incidents or complains, adding that it’s unfortunate these kind of stories come out whenever there is a race in the East African community. “We have to respect the will of the people,” he said. The city’s unofficial turnout total for Ward 6 was 47 percent. Warsame said the election reflected the national feeling, noting huge turnout in his ward. He said voters wanted to send a message after the election of President Trump last year. Warsame said he’s excited to work with mayor-elect Jacob Frey, whom he supported in his campaign to unseat incumbent Betsy Hodges. “We’re from the same generation,” he said of Frey. “He cares about the issues that matter to my ward and to a lot of my constituents.” Warsame, former executive director of the Riverside Plaza Tenants Association, campaigned in part on standing up to bigotry and protecting the rights of new Americans in the wake of the 2016 election.

Ward 7 Council Member Lisa Goodman is heading into her sixth council term after receiving 52 percent of first-choice votes. Candidate Janne Flisrand followed with 31 percent of first-choice ballots, with Teqen Zéa-Aida taking 9.8 percent and Joe Kovacs taking 6.6 percent. Goodman ran a campaign that focused on her experience, efficiency and effort to bridge the gap between budgetary constraints and progressive goals. Goodman said she’s eternally grateful for the support in a Facebook post. “Being an elected official isn’t easy, but talking to thousands of people over this last year has allowed me to feel as though my service over the past 20 years has been appreciated, and I’m excited to serve the 7th Ward for four more,” she said. “… And though we may disagree, I will take to heart the conversations I’ve had throughout this election and carry them forward.”

The southern border begins on 17th Avenue Northeast, jogs north on Washington Street Northeast and continues on 19th Avenue Northeast. Demographics: Holland’s population was 5,016 in 2015, according to Minnesota Lowry Ave Compass, which draws its data from 5-year U.S. Census Bureau estimates, among other sources. The median household income was $45,343. Get involved: The Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association holds general meetings at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of most months at the Firefighters Hall and Museum, 664 22nd Ave. NE.

27th Ave Like many Minneapolis places, Holland was named for a 19th century literary figure — the then-popular Massachusetts writer Josiah Gilbert Holland, an early Lincoln biographer who corresponded with the poet Lowry Ave Emily Dickinson. Today, the Holland neighborhood is part of the 52 lively Northeast Minneapolis Arts District.

also includes a studio component where artists will be able to show water-related work and, eventually, sell art. The Water Bar invites people to come in on Wednesdays from 6 p.m.–9 p.m. for open studio time to work on their own artwork. They chose Northeast Minneapolis as a home for Water Bar because of its proximity to the Mississippi River and breweries. While not a traditional brewery, Matteson said she’d be thrilled if people came in on a brewery tour to sit at the bar and talk about water issues. Water is instrumental to the brewing process — just ask a brewer, Matteson said — so what they can teach isn’t a far-off concept. “We want to get on the taproom tours. We want people to see us as another place they can visit for something completely 52 different,” she said. The Water Bar will begin open taproom hours in the new 94space at 2518 Central Ave. NE by January. Its first exhibition, “River Relationships,” will be on display and 12 growlers of water, posters and artist-made projects will be available. Matteson said she hopes the concept can make talking about water — what most people take advantage of every day — less of an exclusive conversation. “We can all care for water and tend to water in our everyday lives. You don’t have to have a special background,” she said. iss ss Mi

At one Northeast Minneapolis taproom, no money is exchanged for drinks, staff members are volunteers and what’s on tap has zero calories. The Water Bar & Public Studio made headlines last year for being the world’s first water bar, a place where patrons sample free water from around the state.

VEGAN ICE CREAM, CREPE SHOP OPENING IN HOLLAND Crepe & Spoon combines the dreams of two Northeasters

By Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com Michael Beachy wanted to open a crepe stand. His coworker Rachel Booth was looking to explore ice cream. The result is Crepe & Spoon. The ice cream and crepe shop will open in November in the Holland neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis. Booth and Beachy, two employees of the Sheridan Room, became business partners after discussing their plans for making desserts. They thought: Why not put them together? “We started talking and thought ‘Wait, that’s legitimate. Let’s do it,’” Booth said. Booth, the opening general manager of the Sheridan neighborhood restaurant, spearheaded the ice cream program there, but it became more than just the occasional shake. “Branching out from there, I wanted to develop that skill and explore it a bit more,” she said. Meanwhile, Beachy was thinking about making a crepe and coffee stand or food truck of his own. Most of the ice creamed served at Crepe & Spoon will be vegan thanks to non-dairy flavors and recipes. When it opens, Booth said the shop will have 12 flavors, with 10 being vegan and two being traditionally dairy based. Diners can expect some unusual ice cream concoctions at Crepe & Spoon. Booth plans to pull from her experience running bars by making ice cream with non-alcoholic flavors similar to cocktails and spirits. A chocolate rye ice cream gets whiskey and charred oak flavors from a soak in rye whiskey and oaks sticks meant to enhance spirits. Another ice cream, this time meant to be like an old fashioned, features orange and cherry that would normally be in the drink. Despite the boozy flavors, no actual alcohol will make it into the ice cream, Booth said. “Because I’ve been in the bar industry for so long, I wanted to have that be a part of this

Most of the crepes and desserts at Crepe & Spoon will be vegan and the rest will be vegetarian, from a mushroom crepe to a Mexican vanilla ice cream. Submitted photo

as well because it has been such a big part [of my life],” she said. On Beachy’s side, Crepe & Spoon will offer mostly sweet dessert crepes that will pair

with the ice cream. The two plan to offer an ice cream and crepe deal combining the two. To start, the shop will also have two savory crepes for a light meal. The crepes will all be

vegan with non-dairy milk, butters and other simple alternatives. Cashew and coconut milks replace dairy in the ice cream. “We’ve got our secrets too,” Beachy said. Crepe & Spoon will have a simple coffee program without espresso drinks. The two are tapping Twin Cities-based Bootstrap Coffee Roasters for their beans. At a tiny 870 square feet, the shop will only have seating for four. Crepe & Spoon occupies a long-vacant space — the two said it’s been a pet shop, a liquor store and a butcher shop over the past century — near at 22nd & University. Crepe & Spoon, located at 339 22nd Ave. NE will celebrate a Nov. 20 grand opening with a vegan meat raﬄe of stuffed turkeys from Herbivorous Butcher.

FROM FREY / PAGE 1 to push him past the margin of victory. Frey praised the other mayoral candidates in comments delivered at his campaign headquarters and said it was time to heal the wounds of a tough campaign. “Moving forward, item no. 1 on the docket is to start uniting,” he said. Mayor Betsy Hodges, a former Ward 13 City Council member who won the mayor’s office in 2013, congratulated Frey on his victory. “I told him that I know he loves Minneapolis and that I am committed to a smooth transition,” she wrote in a statement. Frey, 36, is a Virginia native and attorney whose Council ward includes the booming North Loop. Other top finishers included state Rep. Raymond Dehn; Hodges; Tom Hoch, the former Hennepin Theater Trust president and CEO; and attorney-activist Nekima Levy-Pounds. During the campaign, he fought against a narrative that portrayed him as less progressive than Dehn, Levy-Pounds or Hodges — a potential weakness in a year when the electorate pushed the City Council to the left. In a closing argument delivered to supporters on Nov. 3, Frey framed his willingness to seek compromise and listen to opposing views as strengths. “People said we were too young, too ambitious and not from here,” he added during his post-election press conference. “They also attacked us because we weren’t willing to take an ideological purist position on every single issue, but it’s our position that that’s not the right way to run a city.”

Youth as an asset Ward 13 City Council Member Linea Palmisano, who endorsed Frey less than a week before the election, said said some critics attempted “to paint Jacob Frey as in the pockets of developers and other kinds of money” when, in her view, many candidates tapped those same sources but were outmatched by Frey’s fundraising prowess.

“I’m really concerned about the future of the Minneapolis DFL and the future of us as a party,” she said. “These races were pretty nasty, and how do we heal that?” The election shook up the City Council, bringing behind-the-scenes tensions into the open. Three incumbents lost their seats, including Council President Barb Johnson, and five of its 13 members will be new in 2018. Lisa Goodman, who won re-election to her Ward 7 City Council seat, said she was “very hopeful” Frey’s leadership could help to close those rifts. “I think he’s going to be a different kind of mayor from the status quo, because he is someone who genuinely wants to work with everybody,” she said. Frey’s political experience is limited to his single term on the Council, but that didn’t seem to bother voters. Goodman noted former mayor R.T. Rybak hadn’t held any elected office before he defeated incumbent Sharon Sayles Belton in the 2001 election, the first of three consecutive electoral victories. “This is the kind of job, running a $1.5 billion organization, that you get better at over

time,” Goodman said. “Clearly, more experience would be good, but it’s not mandatory.” She said Frey’s youth had been an asset on the Council, noting that he led efforts to legalize ride-sharing companies and regulate short-term rentals, two key aspects of the so-called sharing economy. “His perspective is more of a forwardthinking, future-type person, and I think that’s good for the city,” she said.

A ‘cheerleader’ Don Quirk, a voter who lives in a Downtown precinct of Ward 7, ranked Hoch and Frey on his ballot, although he couldn’t remember in which order just moments after leaving his polling place inside Westminster Presbyterian Church. He said he had no strong preference for one or the other and didn’t rank a third choice. Quirk said his top priority was “keeping Minneapolis growing and economically vibrant.” “I think I’m looking for someone more like R.T. Rybak,” he said.

Quirk said he agreed with Hodges on many issues but was concerned about the city overreaching in some areas, including the minimum wage. He said wages were best approached as a metro- or statewide issue — a position Hodges took herself before siding with supporters of a municipal minimum wage ordinance. Another voter at that same precinct, Sam Palecek, said he didn’t like how Hodges handled the police shootings that occurred during her tenure, particularly the fallout from the 2015 death of Jamar Clark. Activists occupied the Fourth Precinct police station for 18 days following Clark’s death. Palecek ranked Frey third on his ballot, after Hoch and Dehn. Will Christianson made Frey his first choice, and said his top issues were Downtown safety, police-community relations and housing. Christianson said Frey was “not afraid of complex policy issues,” had shown an ability to assemble coalitions and was a vocal “cheerleader” for Minneapolis.

Six new faces, three incumbents elected to Park Board Voters elected a swath of fresh faces to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Only three incumbents — At-large Commissioner Meg Forney, District 5 Commissioner Steffanie Musich and District 6’s Brad Bourn — will return to the ninemember board next year. In District 1, which includes all of Minneapolis east of the Mississippi River, Northeast and Southeast residents elected DFL-endorsed candidate Chris Meyer over Mohamed Barre and Green Party-endorsed candidate Billy Menz. Commissioner Liz Wielinski will vacate her seat after two terms, including several years as president of the board. Kale Severson was elected to represent the North Side in District 2, which stretches to include the North Loop neighborhood. Severson beat out longtime coach Mike Tate to replace Jon Olson, a four-term commissioner whose father Ole Olson also served on the board. Severson, a DFL-nominated candidate, once ran as a Green candidate for a spot on the City Council. The race in District 3, a triangle-shaped district that includes the Cedar-Riverside, Powderhorn Park and Longfellow neighborhoods, has been close since AK Hassan and

Abdi “Gurhan” Mohamed both failed to win the DFL nomination. Hassan was elected over Mohamed and Green candidate Charles Exner. Jono Cowgill narrowly defeated Tom Nordyke, a former Park Board president, to represent some of the most-visited park areas in the city, including the downtown Minneapolis riverfront and the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park. Cowgill, an urban planner, is a member of the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association. District 5 Commissioner Steffanie Musich easily won a second term leading the southeastern corner of the city, which includes Lake Nokomis, Lake Hiawatha and Hiawatha Golf Course. Musich, who won the DFL nomination, was challenged by Bill Shroyer and Andrea Fahrenkrug. Commissioner Brad Bourn was elected to a third term on the board, besting Bob Fine, who previously served four terms as a parks commissioner. Bourn won in the first round of voting with about 600 votes more than Fine’s roughly 7,500 votes. Republican candidate Jennifer Zielinski and independent Bob Schlosser also sought the District 6 seat. Voters elected incumbent Meg Forney and two newcomers, Londel French and LaTrisha Vetaw, to the three citywide seats

on the board. Forney did not abide by the DFL nomination and continued to run after French, Russ Henry and Devin Hogan received the party’s support. Vetaw garnered the most overall support from voters, capturing nearly 23,000 votes after four rounds of tabulation. Forney, just a few hundred votes behind, was the other clear favorite, with about 22,500 votes. French was elected after four rounds of tabulation with nearly 18,000 votes, blocking candidate Mike Derus, who received the support of a number current commissioners and City Council members, from winning a seat. A group of younger, more racially diverse candidates led many Park Board races this year thanks in part to Our Revolution, a local group dedicated to the platform of former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders; the group supported several candidates who won the DFL nomination. “Minneapolitans also sent a clear message that they want our parks to play larger and different roles in uplifting people’s lives and ensuring that everyone, regardless of the zip code they live in, the gender they identify as, the color of their skin, or the language they

speak have the same access to world class parks and programs,” Bourn said on Facebook. “I believe this new board is up to all of these tasks and more.” The new board will take up several large projects left by current park commissioners. Wielinski and other commissioners were behind the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan, a long-term funding plan that will pay for neighborhood park maintenance and repair over the next two decades. A new equity matrix developed by park staff is designed to direct funding to areas in the city facing racially concentrated areas of poverty and those that have been traditionally overlooked in the past. The Park Board has begun work on Water Works, a destination park site along the downtown Minneapolis riverfront that will be realized over the next six years. In November, the board began work to restore Hall’s Island in Northeast Minneapolis. So far, the board has only planned and funded a first phase of the project, which will need further phases to bring pedestrian bridges, an observation platform and other improvements to the island just north of the Plymouth Avenue Bridge.

Mill City Cooks / By Jenny Heck

DRINK YOUR SAUERKRAUT?

new product is hitting the tables at the Mill City Farmers Market’s indoor winter market — and just in time for a digestive boost during the rich holiday eating season. Adrienne Logsdon of Kiss My Cabbage is introducing probiotic sippers, which are packed with the same health benefits of her lacto-fermented sauerkrauts and kimchis. These sippers have a bold and spicy ginger flavor and come in convenient bottles perfect for traveling or sipping at home. Like other raw cultures, these probiotic sippers contain nonpathogenic “friendly bacteria.” Not only are these little organisms friendly, they are extremely beneficial to our

digestion and immune system and are said to have anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Bacteria in the digestive tract also aid in breaking down components like lactose and starches, which is good news for those who are sensitive to dairy and gluten. Adrienne is no stranger to these health benefits. She first started making sauerkraut one year when fellow Mill City Farmers Market vendor, Burning River Farm, had a bumper crop of cabbage. Adrienne figured that it wasn’t right to keep all that goodness just between a few friends and farm hands — everyone deserved to be able to eat it. So she started Kiss My Cabbage to sell the kraut to the public and

Ukrainian vareniki dumplings Recipe by market chef Nick Schneider Ingredients Filling 1/2 cup sauerkraut (regular, coriander or caraway juniper from Kiss My Cabbage) 1 pound goat cheese (fresh chevre or semi soft goat cheese from Singing Hills Dairy)

educate others about raw cultures and their health benefits. If you’re not eager to drink your daily dose of friendly bacteria, try the recipe below. It uses Adrienne’s sauerkraut and fresh goat cheese from the Mill City Farmers Market in a Ukrainian dumpling called vareniki. Vareniki are closely related to the Polish pierogi. They make great appetizers for

winter holidays or just warm snacks during the cold months. You can pick up the local ingredients you need for this recipe at the Mill City Farmers Market’s upcoming winter markets, located inside the Mill City Museum from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 18, Dec. 2 and additional Saturdays through the end of April. Learn more at millcityfarmersmarket.org.

Method Mince the sauerkraut and drain it slightly before mixing in the goat cheese. Set aside. To make the dough, sift together the flour and salt and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, oil and egg. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Mix with paddle for 3 minutes or knead by hand for 5–6 minutes. If the dough is sticky add extra flour. Rest dough covered for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using a metal cutter, cut into circles sized according to the size dumpling you want. Fill each piece of dough with a little filling covering the center but leaving enough room on the edges to seal. Seal by pressing with tines of a fork or using fingers. Set on a floured tray until cooking. To cook the vareniki, have a pot of boiling salted water ready. I use 1 quart of water per serving, approximately. Add the dumplings, boil for 2–3 minutes or until the dumplings float, which won’t take long for a small batch. Remove with slotted spoon to a sauté pan with melted butter and sautéed onions.

NICOLLET MALL BETWEEN WASHINGTON AVENUE AND GRANT STREET CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

Nicollet Mall City officials planned to celebrate on Nov. 16 (after this issue went to press) the long-awaited reopening of Nicollet Mall, which has been under construction for the past three years as it sees a $50 million renovation. Over the past few weeks the mall got final upgrades, including lanterns from Blessing Hancock featuring poems from local writers. New art, movable furniture and other touches came in recent months as the mall reopened to pedestrians, block by block. Steve Cramer, president and CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council and Downtown Improvement District, said the project is already spurring private development. “The pedestrian orientation, greatly enhanced greening, public art and lighting add up to a high-impact, public–private investment that will serve our community for decades to come,” he said in a statement.

419 WASHINGTON AVE. N. SWERVO DEVELOPMENT

419 Washington Another large office building has broken ground in the North Loop, and it already has a major tenant. Swervo Development and CPM Cos. are constructing a 13-story building in place of a surface parking lot behind the Internet Exchange Building on Washington Avenue. Calabrio, a customer engagement software company, will anchor the building and has signed a lease for 150,000 square feet, a spokesman said. The unnamed project will feature eight levels of parking, including five enclosed levels, for a total of 408 spaces. About 13,000 square feet would be reserved for retail and restaurant tenants. The building is expected to be completed and occupied in early 2019.

Grain Belt site* The City of Minneapolis is looking for an interested party to redevelop several properties near the Grain Belt Brewery Complex in Northeast Minneapolis. The semi-contiguous site is a conglomerate of nine properties, including several surface parking lots, located north of Broadway Street, east of Sheridan Memorial Park and west of the former brewing complex. City officials want to see a mixed-use project with housing — especially affordable housing — sidewalk-oriented commercial or retail opportunities, alternative parking options and opportunities for neighborhood artists. City planners plan to review proposals in January and February and make recommendations to the City Council’s Community Department of Regulatory Services next spring. A full vote is expected in April or May next year.

128 2ND ST. N. SHARON COHN

Foundry Developers have submitted updated plans to the Heritage Preservation Commission for the redevelopment of the highprofile North Loop block that includes Foundry Home Goods. New ownership, represented in plans by Sharon Cohn, of one part of the project is now proposing to rehabilitate a public alley between 1st and 2nd streets instead of vacating the alley. The new group is responsible for developing a six-story, mixed-use building that would front 2nd Street North. The dark gray brick-clad building would have retail and apartments inside. It’s just one piece of a three-part project that includes a retail and office building and a renovated Commutator Building.

The projects would be built in succession to maintain the current food center, which serves more than 300 meals per day.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation has begun rebuilding Hall’s Island, a small landmass that was absorbed into the Northeast Minneapolis riverfront more than five decades ago. As part of the project’s $3.5 million first phase, the board will carve a new back channel out of the 11-acre Scherer site just upriver of the Plymouth Avenue Bridge. Once work is complete, the new Hall’s Island will match the approximate shoreline it once had before it was dredged in the 1960s. The island will not be accessible to parkgoers until future phases, which will bring improvements like pedestrian bridges and an observation platform.

‘Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley’ With “Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley,” Jane Austen’s beloved “Pride and Prejudice” has received a holiday sequel. The play was created by San Francisco playwriting duo Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon as a response to the lack of original holiday programming beyond Dickens and “The Nutcracker.” The play reconnects with the Bennet sisters and their spouses as they gather at the Darcy home for Christmas a few years after Austen left off, and its 2016 debut received a rave review from The San Francisco Chronicle, which said it was full of “bursts of smart, infectious humor.” “Miss Bennet” makes its Minneapolis debut this holiday season at the Jungle Theater with a production that should charm and delight even the most casual of Austen fans — and anyone looking for a holiday alternative to “A Christmas Carol.”

MCAD Art Sale

‘Seconds’

For 20 years, the MCAD Art Sale has been a tradition for novice art lovers and serious collectors alike. The event has gained a reputation as one of the nation’s top destinations for affordable, appreciable artwork by up-andcoming artists and designers — many of who go on to have successful careers kick-started by the sale. Shop close to 7,000 pieces of original art, including paintings, drawings, prints and multimedia works, by 400 students and recent grads of the lauded art institution throughout the three-day sale. Pro tip: Look for hot pink ribbons that signify exciting artists to watch.

Over the past decade, breakdancing has moved out of the nightclub and onto the stage. The Minneapolis-based BRKFST Dance Company, founded by iconic local b-girl Lisa “MonaLisa” Berman, is a local example of this phenomenon. BRKFST’s signature blend of classic breaking — a dance style that was born out of the hip-hop scene in the 1970s — with contemporary dance and martial arts is at the center of “Seconds,” a new production from the group. The show explores how individuality and innovation are commodified and censored in consumer culture through the act of “biting” — a term that describes one dancer who steals another’s stylistically unique move in breakdancing, culminating in the classic breaking battle.

When: Thursday, Nov. 16 and Friday, Nov. 17 from 6 p.m.–9 p.m. plus Saturday, Nov. 18 from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Where: Minneapolis College of Art and Design, 2501 Stevens Ave. Cost: $150 opening night, $20–$25 on Friday, free on Saturday Info: mcad.edu/about-mcad/events/ art-sale

MUSIC

Grieves runs wild on new album

With his humble, introspective lyrics and collaborations with Minneapolis label mates Atmosphere and Brother Ali, one might think Grieves was a Twin Cities-based rapper. It’s a mistake that trailed Grieves, the stage name of Chicago native Ben Laub, to Seattle, his home of 15 years. “We just played here, and people will still come up to me saying ‘You’re never here,’” he said. On his fifth record, the 33-year-old emcee meddles with the music that has earned him a following here in Minneapolis, where his label, Rhymesayers Entertainment, is based. “Running Wild” meanders in and out of the self-reflexive style that has made Grieves a well-known name in underground hip-hop. While there’s plenty to love on the 15-song record for core fans, Laub says “Running Wild” has “opened doors” for hip-hop heads because it draws from new inspirations, new sounds and new styles. “I think people … immediately assume an artist is being disingenuous whenever they try something new,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to just not be one thing.” The record starts out with a classic-style Grieves tune, “Postcards,” which lyrically sets the tone. Laub flew 14 hours from Seattle to work with a Swedish music producer, Stockholm’s Chords, who supplied the album’s unfamiliar beats and lush production (“I said I woke up in a city I ain’t never even been to / Called the homie Chords to see what s--- we could get into”). From there, “Running Wild” takes a turn. “What it Dew” and, to a lesser extent, “Boop Bop Da Willy Willy” have the rapper channeling a tongue-in-cheek, soulful party rapper calling out liquor companies and parts of the human anatomy. The first’s music video features a bizarre cast of characters, from a miniature Grieves puppet to human coat racks and a lethal devil woman. Other songs are clearer combinations of Laub’s style. On first listen, “Gutz” is a trippy — Laub describes it as “wonky” — jazz-laden talk-rap, but further listens show that it’s another song about love gone wrong, one of the rapper’s staples. “The plate that it has been served on is

different and uncomfortable for people. I want it to feel like a cold, unfamiliar house,” he said. Laub has gotten flak from fans for what some call disingenuous songs, but that’s not how he sees them. It would be dishonest to ignore these trap, jazz and party pop influences, he said. “I’m not going to force you to like all these new songs,” he said. “… But I’m also not going to take lessons on hip-hop from a 16-year-old on the Internet. If you’re sticking to one thing, that means you’re sticking to one thing because you know that it works, and you’re denying yourself the truth that you can and want to do other things.” This is not to say there isn’t a ton to love if you enjoy classic Grieves. “Roses” features Grieves hallmarks — a minimal, pianobacked beat and inward-facing lyrics — with beautiful hooks from Davey Jones and strong verses from Fearce Vill, both Seattle-based collaborators. Nearly all Grieves albums feature a largely instrumental track and “Levees” manages to get its point across in just a few lyrics. The self-aware, J. Coleinspired “No Sleep” has Laub reflecting on producing a different kind of album, mortality and his career (“You see the world’s much realer on this side of the camera lens / You see depth, but only get six feet”). The result is a layered album with a message, if there is one, that’s not quite clear. What listeners get is a portrait of Grieves with all his quirks — both old and new — that at times feels intentionally uncomfortable, adventurously produced and deeply honest. Grieves will perform songs from “Running Wild” at First Avenue’s mainroom on Friday, Nov. 24. Openers of the 18-plus show include Minneapolis-based Sean Anonymous and ProbCause of Chicago. For readers, Laub recommends checking out “blkswn,” the latest release from St. Louisbased rapper Smino. “His swag and his whole being reminds me of the first time I heard André 3000,” Laub said. “He’s so weird. He must be an alien.” “Running Wild” was released Aug. 25 via Rhymesayers Entertainment.

SHOPPING

SHOPPING SEASON IS HERE

Believe it or not, but the holidays are fast approaching (I know, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet). But that Target Christmas display has already been up for weeks now. Maybe you’ve already started checking names off your gift list or maybe you don’t know where to start. Luckily, there’s one massive craft sale that will help you kick oﬀ — or continue — the shopping season with locally made style. The American Craft Council will have more than 60 Minneapolis makers and their wares at the Grain Belt Brewery complex just over the Plymouth Avenue Bridge from downtown Minneapolis. Shoppers can peruse jewelry, pottery and much more from vendors curated by the Minnesota Jewelry Arts Guild and A Conspiracy of Strange Girls. The best part is that because it’s all local, the people you’ll be buying for likely won’t have seen any of these goods before. The sale goes down on Saturday, Dec. 2 from noon–5 p.m. at 1224 Marshall St. NE.

DRINKS

Cheers to the night owls

One of the classiest places to hang out just got cooler — and cheaper. The recently opened 510 Lounge from The Kenwood chef Don Saunders has started a late-night happy hour every night at 10 p.m. Each night diners can get $12 lamb burgers and $1 off oysters (now $3) served with champagne mignonette. For drinks, this means cocktails will generally go for $10, or $2 cheaper. As noted in a previous column, the bar serves a mean martini

Submitted photo and perfected versions of classic cocktails. Beer drinkers will save a buck on each brew. Night owls can check out the lounge after dark at 510 Groveland Ave. in the former La Belle Vie space.
