Going Bananas Run a smashing success, in it's first year

Over 420 Going Bananas Run participants donned banana suits and raced through the heart of the Lincoln Park Craft District on Saturday morning. A surprise guest known as “The Gorilla” joined the race two minutes after the start, aiming to catch up with the runners. Those who outpaced the gorilla earned a special prize and triggered a donation to Project Joy, a local nonprofit dedicated to combating childhood hunger in the Northland.

“This has been an event four years in the making,” said event creator Andrew Weisz.

Howie: A spring ritual returns to Minnesota

In the wild, peregrine falcons typically nest on high, open ledges such as rocky cliffs. In modern cities, tall structures — including skyscrapers — serve as stand-ins for those natural cliff faces, and the St. Paul nest box has become a reliable urban nesting site.
