Advise and Dissent: Noel Nix

Leave a commentPrint this pageReprint rights

Noel Nix grew up in Flint, MI and now lives in Minneapolis. He is now working on his masters degree in urban planning.

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features Minnesota opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing.

Mr. President, this country needs you to truly govern in a bipartisan way—even when it gets hard and everyone from the left or from the right is attacking you—in order to bring about a change in the tone of politics. That’s easier said than done, I know. “Bipartisan” has become something of a cliché term, but true bipartisanship is something that we desperately need right now, to help us remember that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, bigger than just the group of people who agree with us.

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
