Promoting A Better Mankato. Category dealing with sustainability, environmental problems in cities, and green infrastructure. Video games would suck without walkable cities. March 20, 2016. I was lying in bed last night, feeling forlorn for the days of my youth (ok actually like a year ago) when I could just sit on my butt and play video games for hours on end.

In case you need proof that you’re pretty much alone in your decision to camp out in sprawl, Owatonna has their farmer’s market here. Faribault has theirs here. And St. Cloud has theirs here. If you want to Google some other cities in the area, go ahead, you’re going to get the same result. There’s potential here…. Again, you’re just...

Promoting A Better Mankato. You want to be an Ag city? June 9, 2015. A diversified economy is somewhat of a modern phenomenon. I think there’s something romantic about this notion.
