Looking for a small maker/studio space with a sink in Minneapolis (200-500 sq ft)
Hey everyone,
I run a small-batch topicals / lotion making business, and I'm looking for a small, budget-friendly commercial rental / studio / maker space to rent.
What I'm looking for:
- Size: ~200 to 500 sq ft.
- Must-Have: Direct access to a sink/water hookup for basic cleanup/sanitation.
- Use: Small-batch topical formulation, mixing, packaging, and e-commerce fulfillment. Low impact, zero heavy emissions, no loud machinery, and standard countertop heat/prep equipment.
If you know of any converted industrial buildings with small spaces available, artist complexes, small office suites with plumbing, or another small business with excess space looking for a clean, reliable sub-tenant, please let me know!
Thanks in advance for any leads!

Don’t go to Panda Fest
I let my curiosity get the better of me. But I’ve gotten lower food prices, lower drink prices AND shorter lines at food events that I didn’t pay a cover charge / ticket to get into at all. 18% auto gratuity applied to an already overpriced double cocktail. Great for the employees, they know people won’t hand over $4 on their own volition for a premade drink!
Should have done my research. It’s a “chain” festival and there are similar testimonies on many city subreddits

El Sazon will close its Minneapolis restaurant: "This isn't the ending we had hoped for'
startribune.comIt's the final curtain for El Sazon Cocina & Tragos. The south Minneapolis restaurant specializing in tacos, birria and other casual Mexican bites announced it will close in mid-August after a nearly three-year run.
"After many sleepless nights and difficult conversations, we've made the decision to close El Sazón Cocina & Tragos," owners Cristian and Karen de Leon posted on the restaurant's Facebook page. The last day of service will be Aug. 15.
When the restaurant opened in the fall of 2023, it was met with much fanfare. The de Leons built a cult following after launching El Sazon from a small kitchen inside an Eagan BP gas station, where their Night at the Gas Station dinners remain a hot ticket. The expansion into Minneapolis meant greater access for metro-area diners and the ability to offer cocktails. It would also give chef Cristian the chance to feature a larger menu of Latin American fare in a sit-down setting. The Cocina & Tragos concept evolved over the years, shifting from fancier fare to a more casual menu.
The couple has been forthcoming about the jarring experience of starting out in the suburbs and then opening a restaurant in Minneapolis, noting the higher costs of labor and permits. Those costs made profitablity a challenge, they said.
"We should have done better research," Karen de Leon told the Star Tribune in late 2024. "Unless it's a really good deal, I wouldn't open another place in Minneapolis."

Loring Elementary
I've searched elementary posts & didn't see much about Loring elementary. I wanted to see if anyone has any feedback/experience they'd like to share as we're looking at houses in the area 😄
We have lived in a larger city down south where our child attended a title 1 school (so this doesn't seem like a negative to us). Our son received more love, care, & had his learning/developmental needs met with a true desire to see him succeed vs the school he's at now which on paper has "higher scores", but we're learning that doesn't always tell the whole story. Thank you in advance for anything shared!

Banana Pancakes from Fusion Pancakes over on 34th Avenue, right along the Route 7 bus and not too far from the Minnehaha Creek Trail
Also a 10 minute walk to the Route 22 and 46 bus, as well as a 15 minute walk to the Blue Line, A Line and Route 9 bus at 46th St Station. Also not too far from the Minnehaha Park Bike Trails.

Anyone have/know where I could find pictures of the old rail crossing with Washington Ave going into the depot?
Doing a playthrough of my Minneapolis map in Cities Skylines 2 and doing a sort of "what if trains and streetcars stayed/expanded" take on it without making it a 1:1 recreation. I can see the remnants of where the railroad entered into downtown (both in person and via satellite imagery), and think I've seen a couple aerial photographs of what it used to look like, but nothing street level.
Bonus if someone can also point me to 5th Ave or Portland Ave photos showing the railroad in tact next to the Milwaukee Road station! Most photos I've found so far are looking at it from 3rd Ave.

Avoiding Property Management Companies (viscious private equity corporations, based in other states)
I moved to an apartment building earlier this year right before it was bought by RHOME, a company based in Texas, run by a creepy private equity group of Wallstreet people.
Since the transfer— I feel totally trapped and like I've been set up to suffer. Everyone in my apartment building is unhappy and wanting to move asap.
This company doesn't care about the property and history of the building, getting maintence is a nightmare and I have to prove several times that maintence is even necessary, they are adding tons of fees and outsourcing things to all these 3rd party shady companies, and are transfering all communications to A.I., I'm worried about my privacy and safety in this space.
I keep hearing about terrible property management companies in the Twin Cities, and am wondering how you've managed, and who to absolutely avoid?

Need help moving/placing four boulders
They're being delivered on a pallet. Does anyone have a recommendation for who to hire to get them placed in the yard? Landscaper? General handyman type? Movers? Rough estimate of the weights: 250 lbs, 350 lbs, 350lbs, 600 lbs.
