Joe Doakes from Como Park emailed (just before Super Bowl weekend, when I was busy doing things other than blogging…):
Superbowl fans are being charged enormously higher prices than normal. This is price gouging, no different than after a hurricane.
I demand Gov. Dayton to impose martial law to curb this dastardly practice.

$50 for a parking spot?
That affects womynandtheirchildren worst!
I was only disappointed that the folks blocking the choo-choo were taken in to a nice, warm detention center. I would have left them out there for a long, long time, arresting only those who tried to get near them to take off those cuffs they put on themselves — in the name of keeping them safe, of course. 4 or 5 hours of standing there in the cold , arms outstretched and in constraining tubes, and unable to move might have changed how they conduct future protests.
