Mothership Pizza Paradise will land on France Avenue this fall
Soul Bowl began as a pop-up in north Minneapolis before growing into the fast-casual spot, popular for its menu of comfort foods with plant-based options. (There’s a State Fair outpost, too.)
As it marks 20 years in business, local burger chain My Burger has announced it will open its 10th location at the Viking Lakes complex in Eagan near the intersection of Interstates 494 and 35E this fall. The new location kicks off plans to double the number of My Burgers.
My Burger was founded in downtown Minneapolis with a skyway location in 2004 by the Abdo family with a menu of burgers, fries and shakes — including a current pumpkin spice shake. A My Burger opened earlier this year in Edina; other locations are in Eden Prairie, St. Paul’s Mac Groveland, Stadium Village, Richfield, Uptown, Minnetonka and Wayzata.
Speaking of My Burger, it’s worth noting that the burger of the month is a collaboration with Rise Bagel Co. The Rise & Shine burger is topped with Rise honey-rosemary cream cheese, arugula, havarti, everything bagel seasoning and a fried egg ($12.95).
All the screens are being installed at the area’s new subterranean sports bar. The Rabbit Hole (411 Washington Av. N., Mpls.) will sport 40 TVs and a menu built for enjoying game day. The bar and restaurant (no affiliation with the one by the same name that used to be inside Midtown Global Market) will take over the space formerly occupied by AxeBridge Wine Co.
Minneapolis leaders are divided over whether to keep paying for ShotSpotter as the city weighs a new contract for the gunfire detection system.
A public hearing at City Hall focused on the technology as Minneapolis negotiates a new contract with SoundThinking, the company that provides ShotSpotter. Deputy Chief of Investigations Travis Riddle told the council the system supports gun violence strategies and can alert police no later than 60 seconds after shots are fired.
Critics at the hearing said the technology is not proven enough and argued the money could be spent in other ways. The proposed deal would cost $3.7 million through 2029 and would expand ShotSpotter into new areas of Minneapolis.
“We have actually had a contract with SoundThinking for their ShotSpotter services since 2014, and even with this technology for over 12 years now, MPD’s solve rates for homicides and non-fatal shootings were some of the worst in the country,” Council member Robin Wonsley said.
Council members pushed back on the long-term proposal and said they want a one-year deal instead. Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw disagreed with concerns raised by her colleague during the debate.
“In my opinion, and in folks I’ve heard from the North Side who have shown up here time and time again to say that we want this technology, we believe that ShotSpotter is a tool that the police use to save lives,” LaTrisha Vetaw said
City Council is set to take up the issue again on June 17. Minneapolis police are expected to return with a one-year contract instead of the three-year contract brought forward at the hearing.
Premiere vocal ensemble, Cantus is bringing the songs of Dolly Parton to the stage with fresh interpretations.

Minneapolis police are investigating a hit-and-run that left a man seriously injured Tuesday afternoon.
The crash happened near Oliver Avenue North and Lowry Avenue North just before 2 p.m., according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
Investigators say an SUV struck another vehicle, which then collided with a motorcyclist. The driver of the SUV then fled the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police say the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.
