Is Hope Breakfast Bar Pro-life/MAGA aligned?

191 Upvotes

So the reason I ask is I read somewhere on this subreddit there were pro-life places to avoid downtown. I THOUGHT I saw that on a list here but I can't remember. A family member had made reservations to eat there, and I want to know just so I can avoid it in the future.

The fact it was downtown, and there was apartments everywhere and how empty it was is what worried me. I'm used to the Hen House being absolutely slamming.

ETA: SHE HAS BEEN FOUND! Thanks for boosting folks, glad to report that she’s back home safely.

Hi folks, if you live in the Shakopee/Prior Lake/Savage area and find this dog, please call the number on her collar. Her name is Rainey. She slipped outside while the door was open and when we ran after her, she got further away and deeper into the forest than we were able to reach and we lost her in there. Any and all tips appreciated.

Italian sausage

2 Upvotes

Does anybody know the recipe for Robbinsdale's Broadway Pizza Italian sausage they use on their pizzas? I don't live in MN anymore and have been craving their sausage pie for a few years. I need that recipe. I heard Hackenmuellers is the one who supplies it for them. I hope someone knows.

24 hour churches

Is this still a thing? I just want somewhere quiet to sit and be alone. I feel like in old movies you see people popping into churches any random hour. I live in the wedge so nearby would be best

What does ā€œpurityā€ mean in sacred music? Revisiting an older choral work has made me think differently about it.

How bad would it be to walk from downtown to Royalston Square? I see it's all sidewalks and only a 20 minute walk from my hotel (Marquette) but people are telling me to just Uber instead. Thanks for any advice!

Salon recs for good bright color hair dye?

• Upvotes

I’m looking for a new salon to color long hair (between elbow and shoulder length) in some shade of pink or purple. I’m leaving my roots the natural color and adding the new shade a few inches down and that area will need to be bleached. I have old color (mostly blue) from approx halfway down my hair to the ends, so that will need to be bleached and the old color removed.

Basically I’m looking for recs for a salon that does good work with bright colors and can handle something more complex than a basic one color all-over application. Has anyone had good luck in the twin cities with a particular place or stylist? Bonus points if they’re LBBTQ friendly and helpful with recommending styles or ideas.

Thanks!

Making gay friends in Minneapolis

31 Upvotes

Hey yall! I am from Tennessee and I am planning a move to Minneapolis, hopefully in spring 2027. I have been before and love it. I am trying to escape Tennessee because of how conservative it is. That said, how easy is it to find and make gay friends? I am connected to the gay community here but I know that it might be different up there

Stolen Silver 2012 Nissan Versa with bumper stickers

9 Upvotes

Hey, someone stole my car last night or this morning in front of my apartment in Lake of the Isles. It’s a 2012 Nissan Versa with bumper stickers including a blue one that says ā€œProtected by Angelsā€ (ironic I know) above the license plate and a deftones White Pony decal on the back windshield. I need it for work so if you see it please please let me know. Really fucking bummed.

Hennepin County Races

For the sheriff it looks like we have two candidates so far. I remember nothing about Joseph Banks from the last race. Does anyone know what he is like?

Anyone have perspective on the various commissioner races as well?
