08/05/2009 - For this week's out and about, I chronicle the unfolding of events at Gold Medal Park during lunchtime. For many Minneapolians (is that a word?), noon hour at the park is their one bit of peace, serenity, and sunshine during the daily grind of nine to five. Also a favorite spot for lovers, picnickers, and harassed parents looking to rid their children of excess energy, Gold Medal Park is proof that even city-dwelling Minnesotans need their daily dose of nature.News Topic(s): Out + About

The sunny, sauna-like conditions of this morning and afternoon contrast sharply with the thunderstorms and tornadoes that are supposedly rolling in this evening. As an act of solidarity with the weather, Lauren and I decided to continue the extreme theme in this week's Out and About. We hit the streets of Minneapolis to find out just one thing: which type of extreme weather is your favorite?News Topic(s): Out + About

Though the legislative work may be done, it got us thinking: "If you could create your own constitutional amendment, what would it be?" We hit the streets to find out.News Topic(s): Out + About
06/10/2009 - We all have one…a song that never fails to make us long for June… a song that, for one reason or another, brings to mind boating, camping, and driving with the windows down. For this week’s edition of Out and About, we took to the streets of downtown Minneapolis to get the inside scoop on songs of summer.
