The Planes


It must be Transportation Week here on Minnesota Stories. So far we've had bikes and cars. Today, it's planes.

Courtney, aka Miss Eda Cherry, says: Airport construction begins at the Minneapolis - St. Paul Int'l airport for runway repairs. As a result, air traffic has been rerouted. Expected daily arrivals over S. Minneapolis according to twincities dot com: 375

And if you haven't seen it, watch Courtney try to eat the spoonbridge cherry.

Maeve's Hair


From A Home in Mound: Dad tries to untangle his daughter Maeve's hair while Cecelia keeps going after the camera. It's a bit long at 12 minutes, but I guarantee you'll laugh at this increasingly absurd situation.

Recycling Truck Fire



You know how sometimes, you're driving home and the road is blocked by emergency vehicles? And you're like, WTF? I brought my gawker-cam down to the scene. Turns out a recycling truck caught fire. This is the aftermath. My neighbor Alden has the skinny.

Left Right



This video comes to us from Mike Scholz, who says: "Why settle for one Minnesota Story about Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, when you can watch two of them - side-by-side!"

Mooki's "Special Day"



This may well be a weekly threat. Unless y'all send in your stories (I know you're out there!) I will subject you to videos of my precious kitten Mooki. Actually that's a lie, you'll be subjected to Mooki no matter what. Here's his trip to the vet to get fixed. Be strong, little one.

Ninja Sign



First watch this video. It's short. Are you watching? Good.

J.A. del Rosario happened to see this sign and had his camera handy. A couple of days later, this photo of a man holding the sign was in City Pages. I have to wonder: Did some witty prankster make the sign and leave it in public, hoping a homeless guy would use it? Or had it been abandoned by one witty panhandler, and picked up by another?

CONTRIBUTOR: J.A. del Rosario, Jadelr's Notebook

Hooray, a new vlogger in town! J.A. recently moved here with his girlfriend. See also: Chasing Windmills, "a collection of sketches revolving around a young couple."

SITE HOUSEKEEPING NOTE:

Minnesota Stories was down much of this weekend due to server trouble. My ISP and I apologize for temporarily cutting off your supply of delicious videos. Fresh and free, every weekday, like some sort of pastry.

*** ALSO: Listen to Chuck talk about Minnesota Stories and video blogging on MPR's Midmorning this morning (Monday) between 10am-11am.
