1) Blaisdell YMCA Lunch & Learn: Featuring Kingfield neighbor Steve Brandt,
discussing his Star Tribune Opinion Piece on Why He is Staying in Minneapolis
Friday, March 25, 11:30 AM
Register here for in-person or via Zoom
Except from the Minneapolis Star Tribune February 16, 2022
By STEVE BRANDT
“In 1976, my wife and I chose to become Minneapolis homeowners.
With two good union jobs working as cub reporters downtown at the Star Tribune, we had locational choices. We'd grown up in suburbs, came here for college, and stayed for the big-city energy.
Forty-five years later, we're still here and we don't regret it.
Bashing Minneapolis is fashionable lately. The Wall Street Journal recently published a disavowing essay by the writer who long ago penned the Time magazine cover story that has passed into Minnesota lore for declaring us "the state that works." His mostly Minneapolis-based case that we're no longer so exceptional is based on portraying the city as a hotbed of crime, a capital of wokeness and (horrors!) more diversity.
Andy Brehm suggests ("Anarchy in Minneapolis goes unchallenged," Opinion Exchange, Feb. 15) that the city is in a downward spiral. He describes Minneapolis as a hell world after dark, citing a recent spasm of Uptown hooliganism.
Gee, we senior citizens must have missed that memo...”
Come hear more from Steve Brandt on Friday March 25 at 11:30 PM at the Blaisdell YMCA (or stop by the Sap Tap on Saturday the 19th and get a preview of the presentation there, straight from the source!)

3) A slow sap year--but that didn't bother Kingfield's pancake lovers;
1st Annual Kingfield Community Pancake Breakfast was a huge success!
The sap is running late this year, but that didn't stop our Tapping Team from demonstrating the build process to over 100 neighbors who joined in on the first annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser, supporting this great partnership and programming of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park and the Kingfield Neighborhood Association.
Sap has just really started running so be on the look-out for the boiling stoves this week to be working on the northern side of the park building near the "cabin" ...and feel free to stop and say "hi" and hang out at the fire with our Tapping Team Volunteers!
