It’s cold, why do you live here?

This just in from the “Because It’s Friday, That’s Why” Department:

Students from Franklin Middle School in Minneapolis, and their teacher, Michael Bratsch, are prepared for the onslaught of “It’s cold, why do you live here?” questions expected in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, in Bemidji: Organizers weren’t sure how many people would show up to make a video in support of the Vikings. They showed up.

About the blogger

Bob Collins

bcollins@mpr.org • @newscut

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.
