- Former women’s tennis champions and spouses Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss were integral in founding the Professional Women’s Hockey League. The seed was planted in 2019 when hockey player Kendall Coyne Schofield called the pair to explain the need for a new league. King and Kloss helped secure funding and make the dream happen, and the league debuted this January (with Coyne Schofield as captain of the Minnesota PWHL team).
King and Kloss attended Minnesota’s last home game of the PWHL championship series at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on Sunday, May 26, and after the game spoke about their new league’s first season. The Minnesota PWHL team went on to win against Boston in Game 5 of the best-of-five series on Wednesday, May 29 in Boston. #pwhl #billiejeanking #ilanakloss #womenshockey #womenssports #reverbmpr

- The corpse flower (named “Horace” after the landscape architect Horace Cleveland who designed Como Park) bloomed for the first time since arriving at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul in 2019. The flower started unfurling around 7 a.m. Thursday May 23 and was as open as it was going to get within a few hours.
Corpse flowers typically bloom for up to three days, but the night lighting outside of the conservatory threw Horace off and by Friday morning the bloom was already closed again. Still, the atmosphere was joyous and people who waited more than three hours in line to see it said it was worth the wait.

She said that opening day was the perfect time for the community to support her and that, “she’s going to feel right at home here in Minnesota.” #mnlynx #wnba #alissapili #reverbmpr

- The corpse flower is coming in hot (like garbage) to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul! The rare corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) affectionately nicknamed “Horace” will bloom for the first time since arriving at Como in 2019.
The conservatory expects it to bloom around May 19, perhaps a few days earlier. When it does, it will emit heat and a horrible smell, which is intended to attract pollinators that are also attracted to rotting animals, like carrion beetles and flies. The stinky flower will only bloom for about 12 to 24 hours but it can be smelled from up to half a mile away.
Brave sniffers can see and smell Horace at the Como’s Exhibit Gallery daily from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. In the meantime, you can keep an eye on the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory’s livestream to see how Horace is rapidly growing. #corpseflower #planttok #comoparkzooandconservatory

The transition comes after the Minnesota Legislature last year set up a commission to redesign the state’s emblems.
After 10 separate tries to pass a bill calling for a new state flag and seal design, the DFL-led Legislature cleared the proposal and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law. #minnesotastateflag #vexilology #minnesotastatehoodday

Customers come to Science and Kindness Denim and Garment Repair in St. Paul, Minn., to extend the life of their clothing and owner Satchel Moore helps them honor their garments through repairs.
Science and Kindness has seen an influx of younger customers who want custom garments to fit them and their personal style. These customers come to him with garments that didn’t fit well when they bought them second hand, but still have value and life.
Not only does it prevent these clothes from going to the landfill, Moore says mending them gives value to something that may not have been economically valuable. #mending #sustainablefashion #visiblemending #reverbmpr
