Take an in-depth look at the historic Washburn A Mill complex and the award-winning Mill City Museum building on this guided tour. A museum interpreter will take visitors into the building’s many nooks and crannies, highlighting the lives of the men and women who worked there, how the building functioned during its peak flour milling years and the many changes to the building over time. Also covered will be how the mill ruin was converted to a museum and office building.
Although many parts of the A mill can be explored on a self-guided basis during a regular museum visit, this is the only opportunity for a guided tour through the entire museum building, and the only chance to see some of its non-public spaces. The tour includes admission to the museum gallery as well as the Flour Tower show.

EQ Spoken Word: Remi Kanazi and Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio
Hear, Here: Indigenous Location, Politics, and Poetry
Featuring Remi Kanazi and Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio With Chaun Webster and R. Vincent Moniz, Jr.
Remi Kanazi is a poet, writer, and activist based in New York City. He is the editor of Poets For Palestine and the author of Poetic Injustice: Writings on Resistance and Palestine. His political commentary has been featured by news outlets throughout the world, including Al Jazeera English, GRITtv with Laura Flanders, and BBC Radio. His poetry has taken him across North America, the UK, and the Middle East, and he recently appeared in the Palestine Festival of Literature as well as Poetry International. He is a recurring writer in residence and advisory board member for the Palestine Writing Workshop.
Daughter of Hawaiian Activist, historian and musician, Jon Osorio, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio grew up surrounded by passionate artist and activist and because of it she approaches her writing as a form of resistance and remembering. With the support of YouthSpeaks Hawaii Jamaica has honed her art to not only contribute to bringing back-to-back international slam championships to the islands (2008-09) but also to win individual awards as well. Part of Jamaica’s journey as a slam poet is captured in HBO’s 2008 Documentary series “Brave New Voices.” Currently Jamaica is finishing her final year at Stanford University while touring the world. One of Jamaica’s most memorable performances took place at the White House where she performed an original piece Kumulipo for the First Family and many other distinguished guests. In the near future Jamaica hopes to attend law school in New York City and then return home to work for the people of Hawaii.

With the weather turning cold and all the taste-makers growing moustaches for Mo-vember, the first meeting of the Minneapolis Beard & Moustache Club couldn’t come at a better time. The Club sent word that the group will have its first-ever open meeting on December 2 at Grumpy’s Bar Downtown, where the club’s bearded and moustachioed State Champions will be in attendance.
If you’d like to get more acquainted with these bearded gentlemen, the organization is Minnesota’s only chapter of Beard Team USA, which represents our state in elegant, distinguished fashion and describes themselves thusly: “We drink beer and live in tree forts. Our blood smells like shaving cream.”
