Can anyone recommend a good place to rent a pitchfork?

Real Minneapolis Homeowners (tm) have compost bins. Thus they have pitchforks.

Not if you are part of the new organics recycling program with the city.

Are they burying it? Could be CenturyLink

Canadian Pacific has extended an offer to buy Norfolk Southern for $28 billion, though it's hard to say whether NS will be amenable to the takeover. If this happens, I suspect CP's United States headquarters could move away from Minneapolis. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-17/canadia...

The interior offices and band space was hideous as well, very bad condition inside the building.

I work on the Empire Builder as a conductor. I'll be happy to answer any questions, so long as I know the answer. ; )
