This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.

Homer no function beer well without

Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis. Standing before the city council on Thursday, Peterson’s bid to become the permanent police chief was denied by an 8-5 vote. The driving concern among the no votes was concern about his ability to drive reform in the department.

The Trump administration recently said it’s permanently denying over $112 million of Medicaid money to Minnesota, part of the $259 million it had threatened to claw back in February.

A New Governor With A Pledge For Rural Minnesota

There is no doubt that rural Minnesota faces multiple challenges. Many counties have seen substantial population loss as family sizes shrink and young people move away to metropolitan areas.

Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment supporters renew push for ballot

Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment supporters say the DFL's sweep of the State Capitol could give them their best shot yet at getting the measure on the ballot. Why it matters: The proposed language would ask voters to add broad protections for gender, race, abortion, national origin and LGBTQ rights to Minnesota's 169-year-old constitution. The big question: Whether backers, who plan to launch their renewed campaign Thursday, can secure the votes in the reshaped Legislature to place the measure on the 2028 ballot. What they're saying: "There's real momentum to finally get this done," DFL state Rep. Leigh Finke, the chief House author, tells Axios. "There's a lot of enthusiasm, and I'm optimistic." Catch up fast: ERA supporters came within what Finke called "a hair's breadth" of passing the measure in 2024, when Democrats last had full control of state government. Disagreements between House and Senate Democrats over the precise language slowed that effort, and boosters ran out of time to get the bill through both chambers before the adjournment deadline. What we're hearing: Supporters say hang-ups over language have largely been resolved. "We are ready to go," DFL state Sen. Mary Kunesh tells Axios. "I think this is the year."

This Minnesota Underground Cave System Was Once A Mine, Then A Mushroom Farm, And Later A Gangster Hideout

Tour guides still point out bullet holes from an unsolved gangland shooting inside a sandstone cave nightclub. I noticed that the shooting is only one chapter in a very strange story. The same hand-carved tunnels once supplied sand for glass. Later, they grew mushrooms by the ton. One detail I...

This Free Seven-Mile Wildlife Drive In Minnesota Puts Eagles, Swans, And Sandhill Cranes Right Outside Your Car Window

A seven-mile wildlife drive winds through prairie, oak savanna, and quiet pools, and it costs exactly nothing. That alone made me sit up. Free scenery is rare, and free scenery with eagles and sandhill cranes feels almost suspicious. The loop has pull-offs, short walking paths, and signs that explain what...

This Sunday Flea Market In Minnesota Has Quietly Rewarded Treasure Hunters For Half A Century

Somewhere in rural Wright County, a quiet patch of land fills with folding tables, rows of booths, and people carrying bags they did not plan to fill. Collectors come for vinyl records and old signs, crafters come to sell and scout, and families come for the puppies, plants, and pony rides.
