You may know James Brenner from such giant iron and glass sculptures as the backstop at the 22nd Ave Park (formerly Jackson Square Park), or the iron and glass pieces on the corner of 22nd and Monroe. Or even the massive iron and glass ring in the traffic circle by the Mall of America.

Brenner’s works use common materials, but he still manages to build pieces that are recognizably “Brenner.”

“Passages” is another classic Brenner that does as much to shape space as anything he has made. Come check it out with us on Sunday morning at 10am.

The Hook & Ladder “campus” features a ton of art actually (see photos) and has the JROW Sculpture Park right next door. This is what the Arts District is all about.

Standard reminders:

Coffee (Outside) is about getting to know Northeast’s people and places. It’s a low key hang with neighbors and friends in a different spot in Northeast Minneapolis every Sunday. We’ll have some treats to share. Hope you can make it! (Hint: bring your own coffee 😉

Also join us for yoga by Lisa at the bike shop at 9am. Easy class. We have mats to borrow.

And we launch the NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) each week at about 11am. This one is about activating our neighborhoods to make our streets feel more comfortable for people.

It’s free, open to all, and created to foster community. And that’s you!

I have to say I am utterly charmed by the owners and staff of Northeast’s newest neighbor. Umami Sushi has taken over where Market BBQ left off on Lowry Ave a block off of University and we’re excited to welcome them to the neighborhood.

Umami has a long and storied history that began before their first restaurant opened in LA over 30 years ago. This family brought Umami to Colorado, then Wyoming, and even Williston, ND. The journey has finally delivered them to Northeast Minneapolis.

In the words of the owners:

We fell in love with this city and the lifestyle because [Mpls has] a little bit of everything. It’s like an LA but smaller and the people here are nicer.

I don’t know about the LA stuff, but I know about the people. Give Umami a try. They are very proud of their in-house sauces, all made fresh with the family recipes.

Join us at Umami for Coffee (Outside) Sunday at 10am. We’ll hang out in front until they open at 11am for lunch.

Also join us TONIGHT for Jacle, a Halloween bike tour of the most grizzly places in Northeast’s past and present. Rollout at 6:30pm from the alley behind Recovery Bike Shop.

PHOTO: Bea! We often have to reject great bikes because of frame damage. But Bea rescued this All-City Big Block and rebuilt it (despite a dented top tube) into a daily rider.

Rollout from Sociable C***r Werks at 6pm. Shorter ride than usual. We also have a rain plan (which is not go on a ride and hang out at Sociable).

Costumes encouraged but not required. But there will be PRIZES!

Everyone welcome!

(Well done, 2025)

I have so many questions. First, is this a question? The comma is there. Where is the question mark?

Join us 10am Sunday under Chloe’s billboard to me on Central at 30th Ave NE.

Coffee (Outside) on Sunday will be at this bike rack, which is amazing! Meet us at 10am in front of Ichiddo Ramen at 1st Ave NE and University. And then marvel at this beautiful piece of bicycle infrastructure.

This bike rack is actually a work of art. It is called Longship Compass.

Artist, Kristen Arden puts bicycles and boats together as transportation and adds a connection to the stars and nature. It’s art with a purpose and a message. Come check it out at Coffee (Outside).

This is across from West Photo and Surdyk’s. (There’s also a Dero repair stand with no tools.)

We’ll embark from the Sociable parking lot in full daylight and ride until it’s completely dark. Bring your lights and maybe a friend because riders get BOGO c***r after the ride.

Nice easy ride so we can chat. Ten miles. Takes a little more than an hour. Expect good people to hang with before, during, and after.

Technically next week will be peak fall colors, but the leaves are already gorgeous. It almost doesn’t get better than these fall rides.

Change is the only constant. It’s coming either way. If there is no tool for change, change will just break stuff.

Just because you build a dam, doesn’t mean the river stops coming. There has to be a way for the water to flow or the dam will break and there will be uncontrolled destruction. Voting is a way to let the raging waters flow as a consistent stream.

If people don’t have a say in their own fate, they will get frustrated and start blaming. On a long enough timeline that frustration will boil over. But give people a say in society, and they will take responsibility for their own destiny. (They will blame themselves.)

If you don’t want violent revolution, you need voting (or religion). Voting is societally approved revolution. We all agree to a tiny revolution every couple of years and nobody gets hurt. It’s the steam release valve.

Woe to the country that stifles the voice of the people. That country continually moves toward violence.

Vote. Vote now. Vote on Nov 3. Coffee (Outside) 10am Sunday at the early voting station (which will be closed while we are there):

980 E Hennepin, Minneapolis

See you Sunday!

As always…
- Free yoga at 9am at the bike shop with .cro
- NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) at 11ish.

We’re getting into fall colors territory now. With temps in the upper 60s / low 70s, it doesn’t get much better than cruising around the city with good people. Hope to see you tonight!

We’re still doing about ten miles at an easy pace. Prompt rollout at 6pm to capture as much light as possible. 6:45 sunset means getting back in the dark, so make sure your lights are charged. Otherwise everyone is welcome.

Meet us at Central Ave where 36th should be (just south of the railroad tracks). Did you have any idea this was here?

Haven’t said this in a while, so…
