'Or it could be the fact that this year, for the first time in its history, the event was not hosted by Our Streets, the Minneapolis-based transportation advocacy nonprofit that founded Open Streets in 2011. After running the series for the last 12 years, Our Streets and the city of Minneapolis parted ways earlier this year—not exactly amicably—and the city sought new organizers.

This Saturday was our first glimpse at what an Our Streets-less Open Streets (this edition was organized by the Uptown Association) would look like. So we asked the org’s executive director if he’d stroll down Lyndale that afternoon, taking in the sights on the truncated route from 36th to 22nd Street, and he agreed. '

It's available at the Wedge for $5 per pint. (I called to check.)

My friend Pat makes a version of clotted cream in the microwave with regular cream, but it's only middling satisfactory, IMO.

What I like is the story about the guy who stumbled across the Emperor Concerto and was instantly converted into a stone Beethoven fan. It is indeed an extraordinarily attractive work.
