Justin Vernon of Bon Iver created a meatloaf jingle for Howard’s Bar in Stillwater. Bar owner Adam To explains how the meatloaf dippers captured the hearts of patrons. The Chroma Zone Mural & Art Festival is later this week, which transforms an industrial neighborhood of St. Paul into an outdoor gallery. Mike Davis of the graphic design studio Burlesque talks about bringing together 70 plus large murals for this festival. Plus, we pitch some topical Halloween costume ideas.
