Join Sean McPherson and the City Cast Twin Cities team every weekday morning as we bring you the day's conversations about life in the Twin Cities. With our cast of journalists, activists, experts and residents, we celebrate our wins with beaming pride, critique our shortcomings with the attention of a seed art judge and mutter “that’s interesting” for anything in between. Alongside our daily newsletter, we put the spotlight on the news and culture of the Twin Cities from every perspective we can find – including yours. It’s like a potluck where everyone’s invited and no one brings grape salad. So whether you've been here long enough to remember the Halloween blizzard of 1991, or you just bought your first winter coat, bring your dish over and let's talk.

We Need More Homes, Restaurants Inside Restaurants, and Rattiest City Ranking
How would you feel if you went inside a restaurant, only to find ANOTHER one nestled inside? Em Cassel, co-owner and editor of Racket, did exactly that at French Hen and found great pizza. Em also tells Sean McPherson and producer Tiffany Bui why “just finding a house” isn’t a silver bullet to the homelessness crisis. Plus, we’re side-eyeing a Rattiest City ranking, which puts Minneapolis at number nine.
