by Stephanie Fox, TC Daily Planet • Last week, the signs announcing that
Sullivan’s SuperValu at Lake and Nicollet was closing were small so many

controlled riot,” a security guard joked.

redesign bus stops.
Feral cats in the city: A primer

by Megan Nash, Northeaster • What started as Don Waalen-Radzevicius
spotting a few feral cats living under his front deck has now turned into
caretaking of an entire colony of around 16 felines. When Northeast
Minneapolis resident Waalen-Radzevicius heard that the feral cats were
going to most likely be trapped and destroyed, he decided to contact a
local organization called Pet Project Rescue. The people at the
organization helped him to figure out how to trap the feral cats and bring
them in to be spayed or neutered.
