Urban geographer Bill Lindeke has been writing for MinnPost for over a decade, bringing readers insights and observations like these:
- To watch the city’s lights go dark is like death by a thousand cuts, the deformation of wires sticking out the base bottoms like unhealed wounds. (Column on wire theft)
- It’s both amusing and tragic that one of the main jobs of urban planners in the 21st century is to undo the mistakes of urban planners in the 20th. (Column on Nicollet Kmart)
- In many Minnesota cities, the glory daze of legal, recreational, public marijuana use might be all too short, briefer even than the famously curt Kardashian-Humphries nuptials of 2011. (Column on public marijuana smoking ordinances)
MinnPost readers will continue seeing his columns on our site every Monday, but we’re excited to also offer something new: a Cityscape newsletter.
Arriving in inboxes each Monday afternoon, the newsletter will include a link to his latest column to ensure you don’t miss it. In addition, the Cityscape newsletter will offer:
- A short, personal note from Bill
- Links to other stories Bill’s been reading, local or national, that he thinks might interest Cityscape readers
- A space for reader questions and comments
You can already sign up for the Cityscape newsletter below, ensuring you’ll receive the first edition this coming Monday.
At MinnPost, we’re committed to bringing readers essential reporting and commentary to help Minnesotans statewide explore challenges and opportunities in their communities. For readers in the Twin Cities, that will include reporting from our new Twin Cities reporter Winter Keefer along with Cityscape and commentary by our Community Voices contributors.
If you have questions about our Twin Cities coverage or suggestions for our writers, please send it to feedback@minnpost.com.
