This is even a bigger week than normal in Sturgis, where the annual motorcycle rally is underway. It’s the 75th anniversary of the first event in the South Dakota city.

A little under 7,000 people call the city “home.”
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.
