dumples, 4 months ago to msp in Is Grand Avenue thriving or dying? Some businesses close while others report brisk sales

Grand avenue is perfect for having sections as a pedestrian only boulevard especially near the new apartment / storefront areas. Start with a few weeks in the summer or around Christmas to try it out. There are wonderful small local businesses close together as well as restaurants. That's what's needed.

Also whatever nonsense the pension fund is doing

…and CGP Grey is currently jumping up and down with excitement. :)

Don't blame him tbh. F1953 was my favorite out of the 6 finalists, so I'm glad to see that it's going to become an actual state flag.

Now let's hope that they don't mess it up with all of the changes they're making….

BorisBoreUs, 5 months ago

No blame :) that was the one he was gunning for. It’s definitely the best of the finalists.

Watch, they’ll put the state seal inside the star and write “MINNESOTA” on the white band and make it look hideous.

There’s one guy on the commission who really wants to make the “Minnesota” part asymmetrical…

Hooray, Whale Vomiting Toothpaste beat Windows XP Background and Caricature of a Sad Clown.

“Green Lives Matter”, I guess?

msmc101, 5 months ago to vexillology in Commission selects a final concept for the redesigned Minnesota state flag

that is a solid flag

It’s nice, really close to the unofficial Cascadia flag though.

F29 was better. But at least it’s not the weird “origami flowers” finalist.

NewNewAccount, 5 months ago to vexillology in Commission selects a final concept for the redesigned Minnesota state flag

This was the best choice of the final three. I wonder which variation will be chosen.

Somalia captured Minnesota? Blimey, when did that happen.

FireTower, 5 months ago to vexillology in Commission selects a final concept for the redesigned Minnesota state flag

I think they should just slightly shrink the star then move the dark blue chevron a tad bit to the left.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568, 5 months ago

We'll see what they decide on. To be clear, the thumbnail of this thread isn't what they've decided on, just a potential design they might use. They're also looking at a bunch of others, though I don't like most of them very much.

Drusas, 5 months ago

I would shrink the star and leave the chevron.

Super clean. Much improved over what they have now.
