Meeting Notice: Proposed Kingfield Dog Park
There will be a second meeting hosted by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board regarding the proposed Kingfield Dogpark on Thursday September 2, 6:30 PM , at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet Ave.
Kingfield Neighborhood Association has supported the creation of an off-leash area because it would:
- Increase community interaction
- Bring new users to the park
- Serve a diverse population
- Improve safety in the neighborhood and park
- Encourage enjoyment of green spaces in the city
- Generate revenue for the Park Board by increasing the purchase of off-leash permits
Neighbors are needed at this meeting to advocate for this community-building, safety-creating strategy! If you want to learn more about the proposal visit www.kingfield.org/dog-park. You can also Friend Kingfield Dogpark on Facebook.
Show your support for a Kingfield Off-Leash Dog Park! Buy a Kingfield Dogpark t-shirt or doggie drink bottle at the Kingfield Farmers’ Market any Sunday from the KFNA table, 4310 Nicollet Ave. The $20 cost goes directly to the dog park project!
Alignment for Animals
By Sam Lane from the Southwest Journal
Dr. Moe, as her patients affectionately call her, owns Moe Bodyworks at 3541 Lyndale Ave. S., where she spends her days doing what she calls the ideal job: using the art of physical adjustment to change peoples’ — and animals’ — lives.
While the business is known for its animal and human chiropractic services, it offers yoga classes, rehabilitation services, acupuncture, massage, nutritional therapy, spa services and even meditation.

New Faces in Familiar Places
By Rick Nelson from the Star Tribune
Change is good. At least it is at three Minneapolis restaurants, where replacement chefs are shaking up familiar menus.
A Grand Transition
Ben Pichler met his friend and fellow chef Jon Radle when the two were working at Solera. When Radle landed at the top spot at Grand Cafe, he recruited Pichler to join him and, for nearly three years, the two teamed up against the hardscrabble challenges of running a small restaurant. "I think I saw him more than my wife," Pichler said.
After Radle's death in April, owner Mary Hunter promoted Pichler from sous chef to executive chef. A tough way to land a job, surely, but it's not taking away from Radle's legacy to say that Pichler is doing admirable work, continuing the restaurant's reputation as a neighborhood cafe that draws far more than a within-walking-distance clientele.
Here's why: The affordable, tightly focused menu remains seasonally sharp and skillfully rendered. The dinner menu's canapés -- I love that underused word -- remain, a plate of constantly changing small bites that could be roasted beets spooned into endive or gravlax on tiny toasts. They come six to an order, and they're a lovely way to start an evening.

Energy efficiency loans from CPED
Energy Efficiency Business Loan and Grants provide financing to Minneapolis businesses (retail, service or light manufacturing) to improve their facility in ways that would decrease the business’s overall impact on the environment. The City of Minneapolis would work in participation with the Center For Energy and Environment (CEE) to provide a loan up to $75,000 at a 3.9 percent interest rate and a grant in the amount of 10% of the project cost (not to exceed $5,000). The grant in the form of prepayment credits on the back end of the loan would be used to pay for a business’s engineering study. The loan term can be up to 5 years. Both the City and CEE charge a $200 origination fee due at closing.
