Was I scammed?

I donā€™t know how many of you were at the Capitol today-I was the old guy with the hat-but I havenā€™t seen the Soros money in my account yet. Anybody else still waiting? I was told Iā€™d get it today. Iā€™m retired and really could use that money.

Protest on April 19

34 Upvotes

At the rally at the Capitol yesterday, they mentioned a protest on April 19. I've only been able to find an event on Facebook that says it starts at 1 pm near Mickey's and march to the Capitol. There are only 35 people "going", so I'm not sure if I found the event they were talking about yesterday. Can anyone confirm? Thank you

Never use College Hunks hauling and junk- Minnetonka

We got scammed by a moving company. When I called to get a quote of $588 I spoke to some lady in an offshore call center who insured me and my husband that the price would not change so long as the items and distance does not change which it didn't. She failed to mention they charge hourly both on the phone and in the written estimate ( I got two written estimates one was sent to me at the end of the call the other was upon the movers doing their walk through both written estimate were priced at $588)To make matters worse less than 15 minutes in our house they managed to break out dining table which could have been preventable had they strapped both glass panels prior to flipping the table on its side. They left all that broken glass in my apartment and did not clean up and they never transported the item!! Once they were done they gave us a grand total of $1266.50 which was almost 3x the price of both estimates that were given to us. We spent almost 2 hours going back and forth with a hungry tired toddler and three random men refusing to leave our house without payment. We ended up paying $906. We plan to dispute. But I also want to go file small claim court for the damages to the old property and the clean up fee for all the broken glass they left. Do I have case ?

First date restaurants West Minneapolis

ā€¢ Upvotes

Iā€™m taking a girl out to dinner for a first date tomorrow and am looking for restaurant recommendations. Sheā€™s in Northwest St Louis Park and Iā€™d like for the drive to be no more than 20 minutes, so Iā€™m looking at spots West Minneapolis or even if people know spots in the surrounding area in other directions like Edina then Iā€™m all ears. Would prefer to keep it around $50 per person, but thereā€™s flexibility with price. Any recommendations would be great!

Anyone else on a packed bus today because of the Hands Off Protest

267 Upvotes

Iā€™m on the A Line going home from a walk right now before I go to work, and the bus is very packed. Thereā€™s more people on the bus than there are seats. Anyone else have a packed bus today due to the protest. I know itā€™s for the hand off protest because many of them have Stop Billionaires or anti Elon musk and trump signs, thereā€™s also stand with Ukraine signs, as trump for some reason thinks itā€™s ok to stand with a dictatorship (Russia) thatā€™s invading innocent countries rather than standing with Ukraine. Anyoneā€™s as Iā€™m writing this, my bus is basically overflowing, feels like an Indian metro Edit: as Iā€™m walking home from the A Line, there are also cars parked everywhere on selby Avenue and Dayton Avenue

Coffee shops with drip decaf?

6 Upvotes

Good morning! I am a caffeine-intolerant coffee lover needing a spot to study where I can get decaf drip refills.

Iā€™m in the Caffetto/Bobā€™s Java Hut/Canteen neighborhood, but Iā€™m not going to buy multiple $5+ decaf americanos just to have something to sip. Iā€™m willing to travel for good drip decaf!

Hoping someone knows of a good spot ā¤ļø

Thanks in advance and Happy Sunday!

Apartment search

Hey! So iā€™m looking to move out into a 2 bed 2 bath with 2 people, splitting the rent 3 ways. Is there any other ways to make money or afford to live in minneapolis. I want to live in the north loop or just in the city so things are walking distance. Iā€™m 21 and so are my other possible roomates, we are trying to move out for the first time and everything is so expensive we donā€™t know how to afford it.

Volunteer opportunities for unlicensed dental assistant

2 Upvotes

Hello! I just started working as an unlicensed dental assistant and was struggling to find information about volunteer opportunities in the Twin Cities. Iā€™ve only had 4 days of experience so far but I thought volunteering could help with learning faster and getting more experience. Iā€™ve also thought about calling dental clinics around me to see if I could shadow for a day too. Iā€™ll be starting school fall of 2026 and want to be as prepared as possible (and learn more information)!
