Looking to relocate from out of state and are liking some of the areas we visited a little further out/not too far out, such as Stillwater, Shoreview, Hopkins, Golden Valley, St Louis Park. We have some family and friends living in Diamond Lake and Uptown. I keep hearing warnings that we won’t be visiting people in the winter if we live that far out due to winter driving, etc. Realistically, how often would we be wanting to drive into the city during winter?

I haven't taken Amtrak before. This summer I'd like to take Amtrak somewhere for a trip over the weekend. I prefer a scenic route, or a route not especially scenic but has a lot of interesting things you can see. Is there any good recommendations?
Since I'm taking Amtrak, I need to either bring my bike or rent a car at the destination.

I used a transcription software to get all this down, so it may be slightly off. I cut out some redundancies and a section where they talk about the new Batman movie for a bit.
Marek: Couple of days ago you heard about Alex DeBrincat of the Ottawa Senators and that organization doing their due diligence seeing what's out there what the marketplace is. He's someone who's poised to become an unrestricted free agent. Not next year but the year after, we all know there's new ownership coming in. That'll bring with it various management complications, et cetera. What is the latest with Alex DeBrincat?
Elliotte: You know what that writing that story was like, Jeff, I knew what what it's like for Batman to go up against the Riddler. Everyone was speaking in codes. They're like, well, you've got to find out but they're exploring what to do and things like that. Basically, it was a euphemism of, they're probably going to trade him. You have to be careful, because you know, there's always a chance that they don't buy. There certainly appears to be a feeling around the league that he's much more likely to get traded than not. And, you know, to be fair, there were some people who said to me, there's no chance he's re-signing there, but I had some other people say, don't go there because they think that you know, some of those guys really want to try to convince him to stay because they think he could be a real important part of their team for a long time. But the bottom line is, and I completely understand this from DeBrincat's point of view is he's not signing until he understands for at least for long term, until he understands who the new owner is going to be and what the plan is. And we're not going to know that anytime soon like even if one group suddenly gets okay, you have the right to negotiate to make the sale. It's still going to take two or three months to sort that out. So, Ottawa has made it very clear they at least to have have to have an idea of who's interested by the draft at the end of the month. So you know, they're doing their work there and I think there is interest like for to break it to be tons of interest.
Marek: With that release, I look at DeBrincat and I say on a team that played the way that the Chicago Blackhawks used to play and that is that strong heavy possession game, hold on to the puck and you know, get it to the net, just shoot it whenever it's on your blade, as opposed to a dump and chase team, you know, fetch and catch. I think DeBricnat just sings on any team, the ones that hold the puck as much as possible. I mean, choose your team around the NHL that's like that. I think the DeBrincat would be an outstanding addition. There'll be huge interest.
Elliotte: Absolutely. And like I'll say this, I don't know that this is where he's gonna end up going. But there's a lot of focus on those, like central area teams like, well I shouldn't say that because Detroit's not in the central but they're central ish. We'll call them that, central ish. Like Detroit St. Louis. Like, I had one guy say to me that that's a Doug Armstrong player. Like that's a guy that Doug Armstrong would want. So those are some of the teams that people are kind of focusing on but obviously I think there's a ton of interest
Marek:I kind of look at I kind of look at the Carolina Hurricanes.
Elliotte: Yeah, that's absolutely true. But the hurricanes to me seem like the kind of team that would rent him for a year. I don't know that they would sign him to what he's going to get in the free agent market.

“@TheAthletic reports that although there have been rumors of Bobby Firmino's fate including Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it appears that MLS and St. Louis seem like a likely destination.”

The MLS transfer window opens on July 5th, and that is the first day Miami would be able to register Messi. These are all the guaranteed games that Miami will play after that date.

Date	Day of Week	Home	Away	Capacity	Competition
8-Jul	Saturday	D.C. United	Inter Miami	20000	MLS
15-Jul	Saturday	St. Louis City SC	Inter Miami	22423	MLS
21-Jul	Friday	Inter Miami	Cruz Azul	64767	Leagues Cup
25-Jul	Tuesday	Inter Miami	Atlanta United FC	64767	Leagues Cup
23-Aug	Wednesday	Inter Miami	Charlotte FC	64767	MLS
26-Aug	Saturday	New York Red Bulls	Inter Miami	25000	MLS
30-Aug	Wednesday	Inter Miami	Nashville SC	64767	MLS
3-Sep	Sunday	Los Angeles FC	Inter Miami	22000	MLS
9-Sep	Saturday	Inter Miami	Sporting Kansas City	64767	MLS
16-Sep	Saturday	Atlanta United FC	Inter Miami	71000	MLS
20-Sep	Wednesday	Inter Miami	Toronto FC	64767	MLS
24-Sep	Sunday	Orlando City SC	Inter Miami	25500	MLS

21-Oct	Saturday	Charlotte FC	Inter Miami	74479	MLS

If they win their USOC quarterfinal tonight against Birmingham, the semifinals are scheduled to be played on Aug 23 (so a game would have to move). There are another 5 possible games in the Leagues Cup, and another 1 if they win the USOC semifinal.
That is a potential total of 23 games over a period of 105 days for an average of a game every ~4.5 days. Messi has already played in 53 games for club and country since the start of the 2022 euro club season for an average of a game ever ~5.5 days.
You'll notice that I listed the home capacity for Miami as 64767 instead of the 18k that the temp venue in Ft. Lauderdale has. I firmly believe that Miami will move all their home games to Hard Rock Stadium (aka Dolphins Stadium) for two reasons:

1. Miami isn't selling any single game tickets past July 1st.
   
2. IMCF and the Dolphins only have 1 potential "overlap" on the schedule, so it almost looks like the facility schedule was built for this change. IMFC's last home game is on 10/7, and the Dolphins play at 1pm on 10/8. Atlanta flips the stadium over like that once or twice a year, so it can definitely be done.
   

Miami is also playing 3 of their last 4 away games in shared NFL/MLS stadiums, so the home teams will get a huge boost in ticket sales.

Anyone know anything fun going on after the show in St. Louis tonight? With the early curfew does anyone know anywhere fun with any music after the show?

Hi! I'm taking a vacation to St Louis (I'm from CA) and I'm curious to know what people consider the best carts! Looking on weedmaps I didn't see any Raw Garden, but I did see Select carts which I like. I'll be in St. Louis, so any shop recommendations would be awesome! Since I'm out of state I am recreational though.
Also, I will have access to a car, is it better to shop in MO or to cross to IL , price and quality wise?

I'm about to start a new OOTP game when I started thinking that I wanted to play in a greatly expanded MLB structure and have it where divisions are based on specific locations rather than the vague east, central, and west.
Another goal was to add a little more international flair by including two new teams from Canada and starting two new Mexican teams.
A caveat is that I tried to make it so that cities didn't have two teams (like say New York or Chicago) but kept teams if they played in nearby towns (like Baltimore / Washington DC or San Francisco / Oakland).
So, here's my working list so far:

Eastern Conference

East Division

• Montreal Mets [formerly New York Mets]
• Boston Red Sox
• Philadelphia Phillies
• New York Yankees

North Division

• Toronto Blue Jays
• Detroit Tigers
• Cleveland Guardians
• Cincinnati Reds

Mid-Atlantic Division

• Pittsburgh Pirates
• Washington Nationals
• Charlotte Ghosts [expansion]
• Baltimore Orioles

Southeast Division

• Nashville Stars [expansion]
• Birmingham Firebirds [expansion]
• Atlanta Bulldogs [formerly Atlanta Braves]
• Jacksonville Judges [expansion]

Gulf Division

• Monterrey Jaguars [expansion]
• Miami Marlins
• Houston Astros
• New Orleans River Otters [formerly Tampa Bay Rays]

Western Conference

Midwest Division

• Chicago Cubs
• Milwaukee Brewers
• Minnesota Twins
• Indianapolis White Sox [formerly Chicago White Sox]

Central Division

• Memphis Stallions [expansion]
• Kansas City Royals
• St Louis Cardinals
• Texas Rangers

Pacific Division

• Seattle Mariners
• San Francisco Giants
• Oakland Athletics
• Vancouver Sparrows [expansion]

West Division

• Tijuana Saints [expansion]
• Los Angeles Dodgers
• San Diego Padres
• Anaheim Angels

Southwest Division

• Arizona Diamondbacks
• Albuquerque Isotopes [expansion]
• Las Vegas Aviators [expansion]
• Colorado Rockies

So those are my divisions. Take a look and let me know what you think, and if there's any cities you'd have added!

Looking for rabbit meat cutlets for a dish. Any idea of where can I find some in St Louis?
