Good morning,
Like a horde of Tony Hawks at a half-pipe convention, University of Minnesota students never stop grinding. However, I encourage you to check out some of our stories, as a tasty little treat.
Today we have stories on the opening of recreational dispensaries, a vintage store tour and a feature piece on a top-tier Gopher Womens Hockey goal-scorer. And more. In fact, news galore.
I’m not joking this time. Get to reading.
Pura Vida,
Sam Hill | Managing Editor | [email protected]
