Early reviews have been very positive.

Hey, does anyone know why there are two Chinooks flying into Minnesota? I just clocked two of them flying in from Alexandria tonight.

The ads on tv are bad but this really takes the cake.

I live her to experience the winters. I enjoy them.

You live here for "XYZ"? Great.

I would never live somewhere that I didn't like the climate... But I guess now I do...

The Department of Homeland Security searched Democratic US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home with less than 30 days until the midterm elections. Here’s how the political stunt may actually boost Omar’s campaign—even as it instills fear.

A lobbyist once told state Sen. Aric Putnam there are three types of legislators at the Minnesota Capitol:

• 1/3 are dedicated public servants.
• 1/3 are furniture.
• 1/3 are dangerous morons.

Putnam considers himself part of the first 1/3. Attack ads, including one calling him an “airhead,” would have St. Cloud-area voters believe otherwise.

Well-funded special interest groups are using such ads in an effort to unseat him and other DFL senators in battleground Greater Minnesota districts. Why such a focus on them? Because the stakes are high.

Party control of the Senate could hinge on outcomes in St. Cloud, northeastern Minnesota and Moorhead, each held by incumbent DFLers.

The Summit Brewing Company is no longer on the precipice of closure.

A new lender has acquired the famous St. Paul brewery’s loans from BMO Bank and is working with the company on a “long-term growth strategy aimed at strengthening Summit’s balance sheet and supporting its vision for the future,” the brewery said in a short announcement.

Thursday’s announcement does not disclose the identity of the new lender, and it does not detail any terms around the arrangement.

“Today is a day of gratitude and genuine excitement for all of us at Summit,” president and CEO Brandon Bland says in the announcement. “That starts with our employees, who have shown up every day through months of uncertainty. Their professionalism has inspired all of us to keep pushing toward a resolution, and I can’t thank them enough.”

He also used the statement to thank shareholders, distributors, retail partners, and “loyal Summit fans” for their “outpouring of support.”

Nicolas Cage's post-apocalyptic film “Parish” will shoot in Minnesota through the end of the month.

“Parish,” currently filming on deteriorating property near Axdahl’s Greenhouse, centers around a post-apocalyptic survivor taking on zombies. But the shoot Tuesday afternoon didn’t feature any battles or bloodshed, which may explain why an actor famous for his intensity both on and off screen seemed so relaxed.
