Taylor has spent years doing hyperlocal journalism and photography in Minneapolis, reporting on and photographing what’s going on in her neighborhood. Things like potholes, graffiti, interesting architecture, neighborhood association meetings and political conventions, odd local traditions & characters, local politicians both bland and provocative, and neighborhood businesses. Through covering her neighborhood, Taylor has learned a lot about how the city works. Her work helps make the mundane entertaining and has helped expose opportunistic politicians and fraudulent candidates. Recently Minneapolis catapulted into headlines with Trump's anti-immigrant surge & Minneapolis residents' resistance. This ostensibly started from a right wing YouTuber creating a hit piece on a Somali daycare center in Taylor’s neighborhood. The federal operation has subsided & the media has mostly moved on. So it seemed like a good time to talk with Taylor about her perspective on all this and more.I accidentally only recorded the audio of our conversation, so this is an audio-only episode. I’ll be back with video on the next episode.Taylor Dahlin onlineBlog https://taylordahlin.com/ BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/taylordahlin.com Twitter/X https://x.com/taylr Instagram https://www.instagram.com/taylordahlin/ Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/cabb/Wedge LiveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@WedgeLIVE BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.live Website https://wedgelive.com/ Related episode: ‘We Are Minnesota’ featuring Valerie Jardin https://youtu.be/MKmpk14GuSI?si=nwwo3Kifbe8732MB-----Rate & review Get the Picture! on your podcast platform, and follow, like & subscribe.Music used in the intro and outro is Fresh Flow Fiesta by Oleksii Holubiev.
