It was a Friday night in 1964, recalls Greg McMoore. A line of men stretched out the Young Brothers barbershop on Fourth Avenue in south Minneapolis. McMoore was just a kid then, but he could tell they were there for more than just haircuts.He remembers seeing a group head to the backroom and begging his father to let him sneak a glimpse. “It was all in fun,” he reminisced with a laugh. “They were back there cooking soul food, playing cards and having a good time in the backroom.”Now 71, McMoore carries vibrant memories of the southside with him each day — scenes from when it was a bustling and tight-knit middle class African American community. His brain is such a warehouse of southside knowledge he was recruited to help preserve the city's African American history. “I'm viewed as an elder now,” McMoore said. “And there aren't very many of us left to be able to talk about what was here.”Through May 2025, he'll be part of the African American Heritage Work Group — a 15-person advisory board guiding the city in efforts to research and document sites of significance, ultimately narrowing in on three to nominate to the National Register of Historic Places.It's a group with artists, educators and historians from the northside to the southside, including familiar names like documentarian Daniel Bergin and health advocate Beverly Propes.Each member brings their own passion to the table, and for McMoore that's serving as a voice for the southside, where his family has called home for over a century.A child of the 50s, McMoore is among the eldest in the group. His family escaped slavery in Virginia, making their new home in Hastings between 1865 and 1870 — one of the first Black families to settle in the area. In 1912, his grandmother moved to south Minneapolis after graduating high school, and his family has been here ever since.For McMoore, honoring history is more than just marking spots with remembrance.“I'm always thinking about where we came from as developing an understanding of where we're going to go,” he said. “You have to know where you came from if you want to talk about who you are and how you can move forward with it.”The hub of the southside communityOn a crisp fall day, McMoore pointed out some of those roots, starting with the former hub that had it all: the intersection at 38th Street and Fourth Avenue. Though he calls that intersection a flyover street now, he can quickly recall how it used to buzz. “When you came into this community, especially when you went across 38th Street, you know, there was something in the air,” he said. “You felt that you belonged to something, and it was a sense of strength and vitality.”Between the 1930s and 1970s, more than 20 Black-owned businesses stood tall along the corridor. One of the earlier gems was Dreamland Café. That was the social club opened in 1937 by Anthony B. Cassius, a civil rights activist and the first Black man to obtain a liquor license in Minneapolis.Cassius's bars were some of the first integrated spaces in the city and few places where African Americans could safely gather and socialize. Another Cassius-stamped staple — the Nacirema Club (that's American spelled backwards) — was a couple streets over. It's a church now, but McMoore amusedly remembers his father ushering him in when he came of age. Both Dreamland and the Nacirema, as well as Cassius's house, are on the heritage group's research list. Most of the iconic landmarks at the intersection of 38th and 4th are now gone, but still standing is the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, the Black-owned newspaper which recently celebrated its 90th year. A bright blue mural covers the brick, decorated with notable names and portraits, from Cecil Newman to Norma Jean Williams. “You can go along [the mural] and all of us, all the families, we all knew each other, too,” McMoore said. “In many ways, it's the families that drove this community and protected it.”‘It feels like I'm driving through my living room'As McMoore got in his white “retro Chevy,” driving beyond the intersection, the power of southside names was apparent. He pointed out their old homes. Willie Mays, baseball legend. Lena O. Smith, Minnesota's first African American woman lawyer. The Bowman house, where Earl Bowman, the first Black president at a Minnesota community college, resided; and the Hughes home, where the trailblazing golfer Solomon Hughes Sr. and legal scholars lived. Then, McMoore approached a bridge over I-35W. He looked down at the trail of cars, rushing 60 miles per hour over concrete — once green lawns in the old predominantly African American community.“Whenever I head to downtown Minneapolis on the freeway, I know exactly where the house was, and it feels like I'm driving through my living room,” he said. “Many folks talk about 94 going through St. Paul and destroying Rondo, but over here it was 35 going through South Minneapolis, and it dismantled our community.”Freeway construction in the 60s wiped out homes where over 80 percent of the Twin Cities Black population lived, destroying the opportunity to build wealth. To this day, the racial homeownership gap in Minneapolis remains one of the highest in the nation.“Things like that aren't just coincidental,” McMoore said, a hard glint to his eye. In his neighborhood, the freeway trench marked the start of a shift, as families were displaced and residents east and west were literally divided. The community's vitality dulled as pressures from crime rose, then took another turn when Central High School — the neighborhood's castle-like “pride and joy” on the hill — was demolished in the 80s. With the local high school gone —  a place that produced the likes of Prince, the city's first Black mayor Sharon Sayles Belton and the state's first Black woman judge Pamela Alexander — more families left.Marking history as a guideBut McMoore, who spent some years working in D.C. and South America, has always come back. He said the community in which he grew up — the foundation for his values, his home —doesn't have to remain a still life from the past. He says it's a guide to what makes communities livable, of how strength can be found in getting to know your neighbors and looking out for one another. “We have to learn from the past and how all of us can come together to revitalize the neighborhood,” he said. “And it starts with things like the cultural corridor, understanding the history of it, and honoring the history with markers.”There's more for people to learn from one another, he said, in order to collaborate and create together. There's more work to be done there, too, he said.On the steps of the Sabathani Community Center, McMoore punctuates his southside tour: “So let's do something about that.”

As transportation officials in Maryland gear up to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, they're looking to Minnesota's experience replacing the I-35W bridge for guidance. And a Bloomington woman has been charged with assaulting two police officers, after a car chase and gunfire in Carver County earlier this week.Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Jeff Jones. Music by Gary Meister.

Six people are missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore early this morning. And some Minnesotans have actually experienced what people in that city are going through. We'll talk with a survivor of the I-35W bridge collapse about healing from disaster and tending to painful memories. Early detection of colon cancer saves lives, but there are disparities in screening for the disease. We'll learn about free colonoscopies for underinsured patients in the state.The recent death of former Minnesota Wild player Chris Simon is starting a conversation about possible links between hockey and CTE. We'll talk with a doctor. And we'll meet two artists from opposite ends of the Mississippi River. They teamed up for an exhibit that you can see in Winona.

In the wake of the bridge collapse in Baltimore Tuesday morning, many Minnesotans thought about the state's similar tragedy back in 2007 when the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed, killing 13 and injuring 145.In Baltimore, the mile-long Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the river below, around 1:30 a.m., after an enormous cargo ship collided with it.The reasons for the two bridges collapsing are different. But the trauma is similar.That's especially true for Lindsay Walz. She miraculously survived a fall into the Mississippi River from the 35W bridge more than sixteen years ago. And Tuesday's events brought back a lot of memories.She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about taking the first steps to heal from such a traumatic incident.

This week, we're discussing the I-35W bridge collapse that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota back in 2007. This episode explores the true risk of allowing aging infrastructure to exist in a state of failure. Bridge 9340 was rated structurally deficient in three separate reports, yet was allowed to remain open in its current state, and with continued monitoring. As a result, 13 people lost their lives and another 15 were injured.Show Merch: https://destinationdisaster.company.site/Follow the Show! https://www.instagram.com/destination.disaster/https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinationDisaster/Episode Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridgehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Saint_Anthony_Falls_Bridgehttps://infrastructurereportcard.orgMusic: Cody Martin - Leviathanhttps://app.soundstripe.com/songs/14667 Hosted on Acast.

Bridges are an essential part of allowing us to get from point A to point B. Without them, we would be unable to freely get around while on our commutes and family trips. We know there have been massive bridge collapses due to natural disasters, but what would you think if you knew that over 45,000 of American bridges have been deemed structurally deficient? Structurally deficient bridges have led to catastrophes like the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota in 2007, killing 13 people, and the recent closure of the I-40 bridge near Memphis. These aren’t isolated incidents either -- 4 out of 10 U.S. bridges need to be replaced or repaired. Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they discuss the terrifying nature of America’s crumbling bridges.

The top headlines from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Thursday, April 22, 2021, including a report on the fatal I-35W crash that killed six in February, a DFW school district comes under fire for a teacher's social media post, updated COVID-19 numbers for Tarrant County and a former Dallas Cowboys player arrested in Louisiana.

In the early morning on February 11, 2021, 133 vehicles were involved in a pileup on I-35W during historic winter storms in Texas. One of those involved was MedStar paramedic Trey McDaniel, who was headed to work when his 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser hit black ice and he was struck from behind by an out-of-control semi-truck. Trey was launched into the northbound lanes and his car was totaled, but he was able to crawl out of the mangled FJ with only minor injuries — and he immediately started helping first responders care for other victims of the massive accident. We at Toyota were honored to be able to offer Trey a 2021 4Runner TRD Pro as a replacement for the vehicle he lost in the process of helping so many others and to be able to share his incredible story on this show.

Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Mike McGowan. Mike's father started a landfill operation in the 60's that straddles I 35W in Burnsville. Coincidentally, the property abuts Walser Experienced autos and would have been a great site for the new Subaru Dealership. The problem is that despite following the state and federal rules, the state and more specifically the PCA has waged a multi-generational war against the family. We talk about a similar problem Walser faced with an arbitrary eminent domain issue forcing us to relocate from our Richfield campus to our current facilities in Bloomington.

We're a little bit late with this week's Rosemount Town Pages news podcast, but we hope you'll feel like it was worth the wait.This week's podcast is a little bit different. We caught up with Rosemount High School choir director Gina Toso Thursday night at one of just two rehearsals held for a joint St. Joseph and RHS choir that is scheduled to sing today at a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the I-35W bridge collapse. A similar choir sang at the funeral of St. Joseph member Peter Hausmann, who died in the collapse.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has a tough choice to make on Monday. Legislators have sent him a letter indicating he can either show up to tell a legislative committee how the money he said he had for the 35W bridge disappeared just as suddenly as the bridge did, or he faces delaying other transportation projects.The "Transportation Contingent Appropriations Group" is the legislative commission that must approve Governor Pawlenty's request to use money from the state's reserves to cover costs for the 35W bridge rebuilding. Earlier this month, Governor Pawlenty convinced legislative leaders that a special session on transportation was not needed because the Federal Government was paying for the 35W bridge reconstruction and the state had plenty of funds to cover its obligations.Since then, President George Bush has threatened to veto the legislation that contains the funding for the 35W bridge. Also, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has said it needs to use the state's reserve funds to pay for the 35W bridge or it will need to delay other construction projects.Before the special session Lt. Governor Carol Molnau, who is also the head of the Department of Transportation testified that the funds were there. This is a portion of her testimony to the Joint House and Senate Transportation Committee:Senator Steve Murphy: Lt. Governor, I believe the question is: are there going to be other projects delayed because of this delay in payments from the Federal government?Molnau: I’m hoping that there will not be. I don’t believe so. I think we do have some resources that we can, can move to if we have a project we’re going to let, we can bond rather than pay out in full right now, if we have to do that, and then reimburse the bonds using those Federal dollars. So, I think we can pretty much take care of what we need to take care of on this project, if that’s what you’re asking for, with not, hopefully not a lot of negative impact to other projects or delays.Murphy: The bonding authority that you’re talking about, where is that from?Molnau: I’m assuming… now I think we can bond for something, that we do have some authority to do some additional bonding. So I think we can do that…ah... on some of it. Knowing that it would be short term, or we can do short-term borrowing from other accounts, and we can do that.Murphy: the (undecipherable) funds?Molnau – We could use some of those, yes but we also have opportunities, at least from what we’ve heard …as we’ve talked to the department of finance of being able to… and we’ve done this before knowing there are dollars coming in behind it to do some short term borrowing.The commission has sent the Governor a letter asking him to appear before it on Monday to explain why the financial information he and the Lt. Governor gave lawmakers last month turned out to be wrong.Because of the unprecedented nature of the request, we believe it will be to the public’s benefit for a full discussion of the request made by your administration. It is our hope that you, and your representatives, will attend the meeting to provide insight into the reasons behind the request and the delay in federal funding promised to the state to meet the reconstruction needs of the I-35W bridge.We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this matter during this important public meeting. The commission meets Monday at 11 AM in room 15 of the State Capitol. If Governor Pawlenty shows up, he will face some rather pointed questions such as, "how did the money you said we had disappear?". If he doesn't show up, it is very likely the Department of Transportation will need to delay construction projects, which will cost taxpayers even more money.

Click To Play Congressman Jim Oberstar talks about how he has introduced a bill to fund rebuilding the I-35W bridge that collapsed. Currently the cap on emergency funding is $100 Million. Oberstar's bill would increase that to $350 Million. Congress made a similar exception earlier this year when a bridge in California was destroyed in a tanker fire.
