Share Your Views on Sustainability with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
;)
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board(MPRB) has provided a link to its community survey on sustainability, hoping that you'll take a few minutes to complete the survey before February 26.
The survey is one way the MPRB is collecting public feedback on its sustainability initiatives – from watering trees to recycling in the parks and at community events. Sustainability was identified in the 2007-2020 Comprehensive Plan as one of the five core organizational values upon which the MPRB performs its work.
The MPRB will use the survey's findings to help plan its education and outreach efforts regarding sustainability in Minneapolis parks, programs and events.
Click hereto complete the survey online. Paper versions are also available in all of MPRB's recreation and service centers.
Please feel free to pass the survey link on to others who may be interested in keeping the park system green.

FERC Gives Crown Hydro 30 Days
Letter from FERC dated February 13, 2012 which may be the last straw for Crown Hydro, given their need to use either the existing historic tunnel and tailrace, or construct a new tunnel (not feasible), both of which would require at least subsurface rights from the City of Minneapolis or the Park Board.
Based on our review of the history ofthe license and your filings, and before we will agree to consider your proposal and not to pursue the implied surrender of your license, you must: (I) affirmatively demonstrate, with a detailed map and proposed project description, that no MPRB lands (to include any subsurface rights, easements, or other legal claims) would be affected or included in the new proposed scheme of project development and boundary; and (2) provide a plan and schedule, including all efforts and steps needed, to complete the development of this project.

Our Mill District Valentine's Day
"Thank You!" to City Gardens Flower Mill and Sanctuary for making our Valentine's Day special!
Whenever an occasion calls for a special meal, Sanctuary is our go-to spot. Our Valentine's dinner started off with drinks from the Martini and Potions menu - After the Storm and Orange Gargoyle.
For this visit we chose the Marinated Giant Shrimp and Hawaiian Opakapaka.
We usually start with an appetizer, but this time we opted to have dessert instead. The Caramelia Chocolate Marquise is pure melt in your mouth ecstasy. You just have to try it to understand.

Mill City Farmers Market Visits Singing Hills Goat Dairy
I'm a huge fan of the yogurt, chevre and other cheeses produced by Singing Hills Goat Dairy, one of my must-see vendors at the Mill City Farmers Market. Thanks to the winter Farmers Markets at Local D'Lish, we don't have to go without Singing Hills' products during the Mill City Farmers Market off season.
MCFM recently paid a visit to Singing Hills Goat Dairy this winter took this video:

Washburn Crosby Elevator No. 1 to Get Repairs
According to Brian Johnson's article in the February 4 Finance & Commerce, the Minnesota Historical Society is seeking construction bids to patch and repair the Washburn Crosby Elevator No. 1, part of a complex that rates among the most historically significant structures in Minneapolis.
MHS owns the building and wants to make it safe and prevent further decay. The estimated $1.25-$1.5 million in repairs will be paid for with asset preservation funds the MHS received from the state over several bonding cycles.
Bids are due to MHS by February 23 for services that include demolition of the mill’s cast-in-place concrete roof over the grain bins, application of a waterproof membrane on head house roofs, concrete repairs, and installation of window and door coverings.
