Long-time News Cut reader Derek Schille has the latest contribution to the summer photo series, “What’s the Story Here?”

Says Derek:

First the obvious NO SMOKING 3 feet from a butt bin, but also what is going on with the pipe running around said butt bin? I’m sure it’s just water but it would be extra hilarious/terrifying if it were a gas line (Bob notes: That’s exactly what it is). I snapped this on my walk in to Back to the Fifties.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
