Como Park Zoo euthanizes Skeeter the giraffe, a favorite of visitors and zookeepers

Skeeter the giraffe, who called St. Paul’s Como Park Zoo home for 16 years, was euthanized Thursday following months of declining health. “It’s hard to put into words what Skeeter has meant to our community. Skeeter was everyone’s giraffe,” senior zookeeper Jill Erzar said in a news release. “He was our tallest animal, our largest by weight, and I would argue our most charismatic. He inspired countless children with his soulful eyes and the excited way he took snacks.”

Beyond the 'Indian burial ground': Indigenous creatives make horror their own

ListenBeyond the 'Indian burial ground': Indigenous creatives make horror their own. With Halloween coming up, a scary movie night might be on the to-do list. If a classic like "The Shining” or “Pet Sematary” is in the queue, you might notice a familiar horror trope— an “Indian burial ground” becomes a source of supernatural danger. The trope has been used in literature and movies for decades, even prompting parody, treating Native people as ghosts.

5 Best Restaurants in Saint Paul, Minnesota You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Saint Paul, Minnesota — a city where the Mississippi bends in a slow, thoughtful arc, where Victorian mansions stand shoulder to shoulder with painted porches and corner bars, where the air is thick with the scent of coffee, cardamom, and barbecue smoke. Here, the streets hum with the footsteps of Hmong grandmothers, Irish musicians, Somali shopkeepers, and college kids with dreams as wide as the river. It’s a city stitched together by memory and migration, by the laughter of families at Como Park and the quiet wisdom of old-timers who remember when the streetcars still sang.

Fuhr, Minakova team up to win 5 titles at MN State Horse Show

A slightly mischievous, fun-loving new horse made a challenging situation into an unforgettable experience, as Andover’s Selene Anne Fuhr and Blaine’s Sophia Marie Minakova combined to win five titles at the Minnesota State Championship Horse Show in Winona Oct. 9-11. After their regular lesson horses were no longer able to compete this year, Fuhr and Minakova were introduced to Aries, new to Minnesota after spending years in the same barn. The duo helped quickly bring Aries up to speed, gaining trust with only a single competition before the state finals. “Working with Aries this year was so much fun, and through him I get to see how much I’ve learned on all the other horses I have ridden over the years,” Fuhr said. “I connect with him really well and we have so much fun together. I enjoy a lot about Aries, but one thing that stands out is just how cute he is! You can never be anything but happy around that squishy face.” “He’s got so much personality, which adds an extra layer to the shows,” Minakova said. “Like with any animal, you can’t always predict how they will be feeling on the day of the show. It’s
