Where was the blocks-long traffic jam on University Avenue in St. Paul trying to get to today?
Here….
It was almost as if Porky’s, the long-time burger joint, was lying in state as people came to pay their last respects. It will close on Sunday.
Those who didn’t want to wait in a long line of cars, waited in a long line of people instead.

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.
