    EP: 51 Battle Creek, Escaped Gorillas & Timberwolves Grief Counseling

    This week on This Must Be The Place, we somehow go from the Blue Rooster vs. Spoon and Cherry debate to escaped gorillas, stolen clothes, Minnesota history, PFAS, Timberwolves playoff stress, and why Battle Creek might be one of the most underrated corners of Saint Paul. We dig into Minnesota statehood, the state flag debate, Pig’s Eye, Garden City, Battle Creek Regional Park, and the role 3M played in shaping the area for better and worse. There’s also neighborhood talk, local history, playoff basketball anxiety, questionable opinions about NYC, and a very important discussion about the five stages of grief as a Wolves fan. Also: • Chris Finch coaching masterclass • BooMTiMeS • Mayday Parade • Knights of the Seven Kingdoms • Shout out to our amazing clients • Casey accidentally learning too much about murderers. If you like Twin Cities history, neighborhood deep dives, pop culture tangents, and two guys slowly losing their minds on microphones, welcome home. Questions or comments?
