I took over and kept this meetup group active because it is another social option for those of us who wish to enjoy all the Twin Cities has to offer, whether it is cuisine (from casual dining to ethnic), happy hours (from dive bars to wine bars), and various events and night life. Events at the TC Metropolitan are geared towards being social in nature. We've really got away from being involved in cultural events.  This group for those 25 to 45 years of age who wish to engage in fun conversation, …

All inclusive dance calendar for the Twin Cities area to cut across genre of music and type of dancing. There is something for everyone in the Twin Cities!!! About ten years ago, Jim Uttley started his personal dance calendar on pen and paper so he would know where the hot spots of the evening and what his choices were. As fellow dancers saw him glance and refer to this calendar, they began to ask for a copy to which Jim was happy to oblige. This calendar soon grew into a 20 page Word Document, …

 In early 2010, my wife Sharon and I started A Partnership Of Diabetics (A-POD) in the Phillips Community of south Minneapolis—considered the most culturally-diverse, economically-challenged in Minnesota. If we can make our program work here, we thought, it just might work anywhere! We began without a cent of grant money using just our Social Security and pension funds. The Center for Changing Lives of Lutheran Social Services initially provided us with a meeting space. Advertising through Meet- …

… It can be hard to find new friends that come in pairs (after all, you don’t often hear about the new “hot spot” to pick up couples)? Just think of the happy hours, concerts, brunches, game nights, picnics, sporting events, pub crawls, wine events, potlucks, restaurant outings and more just waiting to be shared with your awesome new neighborhood friends!
