Totally normal South Minneapolis things:

Biking home from lunch and passing the 🦖 car from the Southside Battletrain.

Just a little Southside Battletrain horn serenade on a rainy, Wednesday night in South Mpls. Gotta love it.

Sad Fact:

This T-Rex is also why people thought the videos of Jonathan Ross killing Renee Good were AI, because why the fuck would there be a T-Rex in the background.

That's why - it's the battletrain.

Most definitely Southside Battletrain. The eyes flash too and steam comes out the mouth.

No, much love for the battletrain! Context is everything!

For those who don't know, this is part of Southside Battletrain, i believe. It's a big art project from southsiders and they usually are in the May Day parade.

Part of what I didn't know before is that the T Rex tail MOVES.

I’m always almost too happy when I bump into the Southside Battletrain crew! Find them at Cedarfest until 5PM.

Image ID: the T-Rex part of the Southside Battletrain with Hard Times in the background. The beautiful dinosaur head is set against a densely cloud dappled sky, its mouth is open, and its eyes are glowing red. Majestic AF
Streets are amazing places when people are centered over cars. @ourstreetsmn.org

And then the Maker’s Fest! Saw a bunch of cool art and projects, had a lovely bike ride there with my kid, and we SAT ON THE SOUTHSIDE BATTLETRAIN TREX.

Someday you should come to Minneapolis for the first Sunday in May to see the Mayday Parade, including the Southside Battletrain.

Seems like a great collab opportunity between the Southside Battletrain & @bunchbike.com

I’ll try to get a spot in next year’s May Day Parade. 😆

locals: If you've been to the Mayday Parade and/or just enjoy the occasional mad-max-lookin' vehicle on our streets you likely know that the Southside Battletrain is a treasure.

They are in need of a 96 – 02 Toyota drivetrain if you have an old car you have no use of www.southsidebattletrain.com

Dude came out from Mpls Water to change my meter. He:

1. Told me he loved “my byline” (from like 18 years ago at City Pages)

2. Showed me pics of his kid in the Battletrain ferris wheel, which is stored in my driveway

3. Said “Kool Moe Dee” in a scheduling text.

I love Mpls Southside so much.

There were multiple dinosaurs in the Battletrain so we are plentiful with dinos regardless!
