Downtown Developers Want Data Centers. Plus, Glassblowing Classes and Riverfront Upgrades

Minneapolis and St. Paul are both set to see some major developments along the Mississippi River in the coming years, and there's already plenty of great amenities to check out on the riverfront in North Minneapolis. There's also a lot of talk about bringing data centers to downtown Minneapolis as the city council is voting on whether or not to implement a six-month moratorium on new data center development in tomorrow's meeting. And St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her posted a video about how she's currently learning to swim via a program offered by St. Paul Parks, so we wanted to highlight some of the great adult education offerings available in the Twin Cities.
