With the number of bicyclists on the rise, Minneapolis is encouraging extra bike safety in a clever campaign. The city worked with the City Bicycle Advisory Committee, MCAD Design Works, and illustrator Bill Rebholz to come up with catchy posters. The visuals are on display everywhere from bus…
The Smell of Beach Fire
This time of year always makes me want to be winding the day down on a beach in Nantucket or California. Friends piled on a blanket with drinks, kids running in the sand, sun setting on the ocean, bonfire beginning to burn. While my sundown reality is much more about the daycare…
Take Two on JCPenney’s
After reading rave reviews from our own local shopping expert Allison Kaplan and national style maven Mrs. Lilien, I vowed to stop back into JCPenny’s. My last visit a few months ago was a nightmare. I went with my mother and two crazy kids under 5 and it was unclear who wanted out the most—the floors were sparse and dark, merchandise…
House Hunting? There’s an App for That.
by Taylor Selcke
There seems to be an app for everything local these days. You can search stores, restaurants, movies, gyms, and now—homes.
New for Androids and iPhones, the Edina Realty Property Search allows its users to view listings on every home for sale in the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, and western Wisconsin. All you have to do is pop in the city, zip code,…
Mad For: Indoor Gardens

Resolve, Redesign, Repeat
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to read more classics. First on the docket is Little Women, which I received as a gift this year in the form of a lovely Penguin Classic hardcover edition.
I see these all the time on…
Mad For: Painted Furniture
In Boston I lived within walking distance to a shop called Eddie’s, owned by a guy named Eddie who had a thing for vintage furniture. He’d find it everywhere from our neighborhood’s sidewalks to estate sales in tony suburbs and take it back to his shop where you could smell the paint fumes in…
