<b>HEADLINES</b>

Common Good Books: Local flair for the St. Paul bibliophile

by Jill Ackerman, TC Daily Planet

The smell of freshly brewed coffee wafts from Nina's, a cozy coffee
shop on the corner of Selby and Western in St. Paul. People mill about
on their way to work or stop by the shops on this tree-lined St. Paul
neighborhood.  Gold lettering on the building's exterior advertises
general fiction, good poetry, and "Quality Trash."  An arrow with the
word "downstairs" points to a dim stairwell where bookstore patrons
descend underground to a dark brick entryway.  It is not the entrance
to a subterranean cave, but to Common Good Books.

Northside meals keep on rollin' along

by Charles Hallman, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

Denise Harris is truly thankful this year, as are her volunteers and
staff. More importantly, her North Minneapolis Meals on Wheels (NMMOW)
clients are thankful because the longtime organization, which started
in 1973, is still delivering hot meals to their doors each day.

<b>HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEK</b>

The lost children of Laos: Advocating for liberation of detained Hmong
youth

http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/16182

By Michael Solis, Hmong Today

Worn fabrics and remnants of personal belongings hang from the ceiling
bars, impeding the flow of sunshine through tiny windows. The mixed,
stagnating stench of food, urine, human waste, and unwashed bodies
permeates the air of the cramped living space where people have to
eat, toilet, and sleep. Small and fragile silhouettes peer through the
light wondering what lies beyond the bars, guards, and locks.

Xcel plans substation, high power lines in Phillips

http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/16181

by Lauretta Dawolo Towns, TC Daily Planet

Xcel Energy plans to build two substations in South Minneapolis,
connecting them with high power transmission lines. Xcel says the new
substations are essential to meet increased demand for electricity in
the community and to replace an outdated distribution system.
Residents in the Phillips neighborhood and advocates for the Midway
Greenway want more answers before Xcel gets a green light from
regulators.

Has there been any decent architecture in St. Paul in the last 30 years?

http://tcdailyplanet.net/node/16110

by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet

My friend dropped a gauntlet: "Name one building that’s gone up in St.
Paul in the last 20 years that you’d look at and say, ‘Now <i>that’s</
i> great architecture.’ Or 30 years—I’ll even give you <i>30</i>
years!” I put his challenge to some local architecture experts; here's
what they had to say.
