In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderful world of Minneapolis’s Kingfield and East Harriet—two neighborhoods so charming, even GPS refuses to misdirect you. We’ll uncover their rich history, drool over the must-visit restaurants, and explore the cultural gems and natural wonders that make them prime spots to live, visit, or casually pretend you can afford.
Plus, with open house season in full swing and bidding wars reaching gladiator levels, we’ll arm buyers with tips and tricks to survive the madness.
And finally, we tackle life’s most controversial questions like, Which cartoon characters would you eat and are bike riders actually the worst people on the planet? (Spoiler: It depends on whether they just cut you off.) Buckle up—it’s going to be a ride!
