Ted Lowell says fixing up the new home of the Acadia Café feels like playing until about 12:30 a.m. when he has to finish a project before the plumber comes the next morning. With the Acadia's January 20th reopening just days away, Lowell can't afford to lose any time.

by Reece Rushing, Minnesota 2020
In August, an eight-lane interstate bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during evening rush hour, killing 13 people and injuring 144. This collapse, and the failure to anticipate it, calls into question the adequacy of current bridge inspection methods. Why were problems with the bridge not identified? And if problems were missed in Minneapolis, could they be missed elsewhere? Could this happen again?

by Andy Birkey, Minnesota Monitor
Presidential candidates from each party are vying for delegates at caucuses and primaries throughout the country this winter and spring, but some delegates cannot be wooed by courting caucus-goers and primary voters. In the Democratic Party they are called superdelegates, and in the Republican Party they are unpledged delegates. Unlike pledged delegates, many are not selected by the voters in each party.

We stopped in last night at Musashi, the new Japanese restaurant in the former Olive Garden space at 6th and Hennepin, downtown, and took a seat at the sushi bar.
When I asked for omakase, the sushi chef who greeted us gave me a puzzled look.

Cabin fever. Some fight it by getting outdoors to ski or skate, and these build up a good appetite. Some give in and nest, all the while craving the warm richness of comfort foods. Either way, we recommend visiting Brasa to get you through the long dark of winter.

By Jeff Van Wychen, Minnesota 2020
