Let’s Leash Our Dogs at Minnehaha Park. Plus, Lynx on Top
The Lynx are sitting near the top of the heap as they make their way to the championships. Star Tribune women’s sports reporter Cassidy Hettesheimer tells us about the rookie player leading the way, even in Napheesa Collier’s absence. We’re also joined by Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner Jason Garcia, who explains why the board is decommissioning the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park. Plus, Sean’s cabin questions for when you’re sitting around a campfire (or taking a poop).
