I have a pointless question I have wondered about for years but never actually asked until now. When filling out forms online, the addresses in some suburb cities are auto-corrected away from their specific city name. I've seen Mounds View and Arden Hills corrected to Saint Paul, and Saint Anthony and Richfield corrected to Minneapolis. Same thing with many realtor listings.

I know the mail still arrives because the zip code is correct, but what gives? These cities have their own utilities, city hall, and often police/fire departments. They are not Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

Has to allow Medicaid (so no hazelden unfortunately), and also has to allow methadone as well because I'm on 160mg a day and I've been taking it for 2 years on top of my fent addiction and I just want to try and get off the fent first and then work on getting off methadone with a taper afterwards. (Kicking fent is already hell as it is I don't think I could voluntarily put myself thru the hell of kicking methadone cold turkey at the same time too).

Now that summer traffic is upon us, thought I should repost this here

Warning signs are flashing about housing supply and affordability in the most populous metropolitan area in the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis' Ninth District.

According to new analysis from Juliet Cramer, Ben Horowitz, and Libby Starling, the Twin Cities region has failed to meet three annual goals related to housing production and homeownership rates. Although the region remains relatively affordable compared to peer regions across the country, it fell short in the areas of overall housing production, affordable housing production, and Black homeownership.

The findings are from a deep dive into the latest data refresh of our Regional Housing Affordability Dashboard, a tool we developed with the Itasca Project in 2022. Beyond the dashboard, trends such as low vacancy rates may signal that the region’s affordability will slip in the future.

We were both browsing backpacks at the surplus store around the corner from Fine Line. You pointed at a roped-off area with more merch and asked my military surplus-lookin ass "Can we go back there?" but before I could answer, you figured it out: "Oh, you don't work here." We laughed and you moved on; you seemed to be in a rush so I didn't ask for a number, but I wish things had been different.

Also, this was ten years ago and you were literally Jenny Lee Lindberg from Warpaint. I was there to see the show later that evening near the start of the Heads Up tour (it was awesome).

When St. Paul police launched a nonfatal shooting unit in 2024, the improvements came almost immediately: The department’s clearance rate for solving nonfatal shootings nearly doubled in just one year.

In an effort to replicate that success across Minnesota, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi and other local officials on May 7 pushed for the state Legislature to pass a bill that would put $1 million toward a statewide grant program aimed to improve investigations of nonfatal gun violence.

Created in January 2024, St. Paul’s nonfatal unit investigates shootings with the same resources and intensity as its homicide unit. Nonfatal shootings in St. Paul dropped 62% from 2024 to 2025.

One of the benefits of focusing on solving nonfatal shootings just like homicides, officials said Thursday, is that it can help with reducing other crime rates since it leads to the arrests of potential repeat offenders.

I posted in the Saint Louis Park subreddit, but I'm hoping to get a even broader reach.

Last week, on the morning of 05/01, our cat Octavio snuck out our home in the Era on Excelsior complex.
We have an indoor camera and when I reviewed the audio, I can hear him meowing outside our front door until about 05:20 AM. At around that time, I hear footsteps and then someone knocks our door softly a couple times before waiting and then leaving. After that time, I don't hear Octavio meow again.
We have flyers all over the neighborhood and given them to all the nearby vets and grocery stores, but no luck yet so far.
If anyone knows anybody who may picked up a cat thinking he's a stray in our neighborhood or has seen him, please reach out to me!
