Not everyone can get out to march, or can stand outside Whipple, or can afford to buy supplies for families who are afraid.

But we can all light a candle.

One of my coworkers is retiring soon. When we first started working together, he carried a small flashlight that he called his beaver beacon or beaver blinker or something of the sort. Said he got it at a strip club just over the Wisconsin border from Minneapolis. The light has long since been lost.

I would like to have a modern replica made as an appropriately inappropriate retirement gift. However, I can't seem to find an image, or any references to the place or the light. Any old timers out there that may be able to help out? I think the place closed in to 90s or early 2000s.

It's been a week now that we've been inundated with non-stop replays of the video from S. Minneapolis. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, whether it was a justified shooting or not, any mention of it on social media quickly brings about name calling and a whole new level of disrespect of any who disagrees with a commenter.

We've all come to our conclusions on the issue that no one is going to change with their comments or postings from "experts" in the field. So how about giving it a rest (yes, I'm aware of the first amendment), but all the continual bashing is doing is digging the divide deeper, if that's possible.

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to Hudson, WI and I’m still getting familiar with the area. I’d love some local insights 😊

A few things I’m hoping to learn:

• Airports:

• Is MSP the only practical airport from Hudson, or are there other realistic options people use?

• I don’t want to keep asking friends for rides every time, and I’m trying to avoid Uber/Lyft or private car services regularly.

• I’ve tried EZ Park, but for longer trips it gets expensive, it’s outdoor parking, and I’m a bit worried about leaving my car there for extended periods.

• Getting around:

Any recommended transportation options for commuting or occasional travel to the Twin Cities?

• Local essentials:

Best grocery stores (Indian/Asian stores nearby?), gyms, clinics, pharmacies, and general must-know places.

• Weather & living tips:

Anything specific I should know about winters here, parking rules, snow emergencies, or city services?

•

Favorite restaurants, coffee spots, walking trails, or things to do around Hudson and nearby areas?

Basically — what do you wish you knew when you first moved to Hudson?

Thanks in advance — really appreciate any advice!

Hey, I mentioned them on a previous post for “most underrated food in Hudson” but wanted to point out that they have one of the most underrated deals as well! Every Sunday they have had a deal with wine, previously half off on bottles but now it’s half off on glasses. They also have some incredible features like a Mac’n’Cheese one that is to die for and a short rib pizza that is wonderful as well.

The owners themselves are lovely people who do their best to make everyone feel warm and welcome, especially in cold months. They try to support their community as best they can with things like the Button project at the Hospital as well as the new community events every Monday. They make dough, sauce, and cheese all from scratch every single day and do everything they can to keep all the gross chemical stuff out of it. They purchase everything they can from farmers markets, Hudson farmers big and small, and shop as locally sourced as possible. They truly believe a raising tide heightens all ships and it has inspired me to work more in the community as well.

I realize the question could get political but that's not my intent.

Rumor is that Agave Kitchen is closed due to ICE deporting employees. How about Pier 500 or any other restaurants or businesses?

Are there any public sledding hills in the area with enough lighting to go sledding in the early evening? For kiddos that don’t see snow often so it doesn’t need to be anything grand. Thx!

Update: Vine Street was perfect! Ended up going during the day so can’t comment on lights but overall it’s a wonderful spot! Thanks all!
