SUMMARY:Living New Deal / Twin Cities' Canceled Freeways with Aaron Isaacs
DESCRIPTION:During the Great Depression of the 1930s\, the federal government under President Franklin Roosevelt undertook a major investment in public infrastructure to fight unemployment and keep the economy afloat. Although it has been over 80 years since those projects were completed\, many are still in place\, functioning for what they were designed to do. Aaron Isaacs will show us sites in Minnesota. \nWe all know how I-94 and I-35W displaced African American neighborhoods. The impact on the Twin Cities could have been much more pronounced had eight other proposed urban freeways been built. Learn where they were supposed to go and how close they came to happening. \nAn optional lunch at Hilltop Restaurant (5101 Arcadia Ave.\, Edina)\, follows. Please make your lunch reservation below or call (612) 799-5141. Everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Prince: Places That Brought Minneapolis Music to the World
DESCRIPTION:By the time Prince was 18\, he was a fully realized and accomplished artist who could walk into the Sound 80 studio in Minneapolis’s Seward neighborhood and write\, produce\, record\, sing\, and perform all the instruments on his demo tape\, and then land a major recording contract by the time he was 19. How did the Minneapolis community he grew up in and the Great Migration which brought Prince’s ancestors to Minnesota influence his childhood and shape the artist he became? Archaeologist and historian Kristen Zschomler will help us gain a better understanding of this iconic singer songwriter musician.

What issues has the neighborhood faced? What’s still worth celebrating? \nBob\, a coach to more than a thousand children\, a Minneapolis Park Board commissioner\, a candidate for mayor\, a Linden Hills Neighborhood Council board member\, and more\, is uniquely qualified to talk about the more recent history of the neighborhood and the city.

SUMMARY:The Most Competitive Passenger Corridor: Chicago—Twin Cities
DESCRIPTION:From the 1890s to the 1960s\, the best passenger trains in North America traveled between the Twin Cities and Chicago. Until World War I\, seven railroads competed for the business. Four continued to do so after World War II. Starting in the 1930s\, the competition resulted in the Burlington’s Zephyrs\, the Milwaukee Road’s Hiawatha\, and the Chicago & North Western’s 400\, the nation’s fastest trains. Author Aaron Isaacs will tell their story\, based on his latest book. \nAn optional lunch at Hilltop Restaurant (5101 Arcadia Ave\, Edina\, MN 55436) follows the presentation. Please make your lunch reservation by RSVPing below\, or call (612) 799-5141.

SUMMARY:Ghost of a Chance with Eric Roper
DESCRIPTION:Harry and Clementine Robinson were one of a handful of Black families who owned homes more than a century ago in what is now the whitest part of Minneapolis. When Star Tribune  reporter Eric Roper moved into the same house where the Robinsons lived\, he became determined to find out who they were and what happened to them. He spent nearly five years piecing together the Robinsons’ lives through genealogy records\, old public documents\, and fascinating tidbits from articles in local Black newspapers from the 1900s. He\, with a team of other staff members and community members\, wrote a series of articles published as a special insert in the Star Tribune. In addition\, they created a six-episode podcast that takes listeners on an intimate journey into Minnesota’s past through the experiences of this one trailblazing couple.
