The lives of Barack Obama: An interactive timeline: There are at least two versions of Barack Obama’s life: There’s his version - the story he tells in his speeches, op-eds, and books. Then there’s the media’s version - news articles, columns, and investigative pieces about him as he rose to prominence and since his presidential campaign began. We can learn a lot by comparing the two.
I just want to say that the Bella (roasted portabella, crispy prosciutto, red onion, goat cheese chive spread) at the Bulldog NE is the best burger in town. I’ve had it three times now, and am amazed every time. Yes, the beer usually helps, but it’s just so dang good. The bun, the burger, the toppings - it’s all amazing.
Native Minneapolis, from pre-history to today | The Bridge: Last month, Scott Anfinson, Minnesota’s state archaeologist, opened the first of four monthly lectures on Minneapolis history with some bad news: there is no prehistoric archaeology in the city. “There has never been an archaeological dig of a prehistoric site in Minneapolis,” Anfinson said. “The rapid expansion of the city basically destroyed most of the archaeological sites here.”
While archaeological signs may be scarce, the speakers that shared the Downtown Central Library stage with Anfinson on July 22 proved that the words and culture of the area’s pre-settlement population are alive and evident.
