You've heard the great news about Broadway Avenue in Rochester, Minnesota, right?

Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - The overall project won’t be completed until next year but the section of Rochester’s North Broadway between Civic Center Dr. and Silver Lake will open to traffic Monday.
It is one of the largest road projects in city history with an overall cost of $24-million. Read More: A Major Rochester Roadway Ready To Reopen To Traffic

It seems like forever it was under construction, forever we had to take detours and betours, and wait-don't-turn-there-tours. And worse, businesses had to pray the customers would find their way. To celebrate the end of the detours, they're throwing a block party.

They're Throwing A Block Party?

They're throwing a block party! The Lowertown Neighborhood Association and DMC are sponsoring the event and have some goodies to give away to the first 100 people there. They'll be tented up by Minnesota's First Dairy Queen (stop by to get the swag).

There will be live music, a beer garden at the North Star Bar, restaurants open for business and your belly, a bike event where you can learn about the new cycle track, and more.

What: Broadway is Back! Celebration
Where: North Broadway Dairy Queen, and the mile of homes, businesses, and new infrastructure on North Broadway.
When: Saturday, November 20, 2021 - 11:30 AM to Whenever the last musical note fades away (3 PM...but that doesn't sound as poetic).
How: Just show up!

Running Home From Work Because Your Kid Is Sick?

Jessica just had to do this, so...behold, the gallery to help you.

Sick Kid Survival Guide for All Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin Moms

As my kid was hurling chunks of our pasta dinner into the sink (fyi...pasta that apparently he did not chew at all...because I could see it all sitting there in clumps) I instantly put my hair in a mom bun and rushed to action. I have no idea how I knew what to do in that moment of barfing, because if I'm honest, I wanted to barf myself, but I kept it in and rushed to get all the tools I had in the house for just this moment. My "Sick Kid Survival Guide" is a gamechanger and if you don't have these items at your house, maybe stock up now so you are prepared for cold, flu, and this COVID season.
