Steve Pape has not yet completed Ballotpedia's 2024 Candidate Connection survey. I asked why.

I clicked the "Send a message to Steve Pape asking him to fill out the survey." link. He replied to me personally instead of ansering the 12 questions which included:

  • "Who are you? Tell us about yourself. "

  • "Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? "

  • " What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? "

His complaint to me was that it "took too long" and the questions were "misleading".

If he doesn't have time to answer 12 questions fairly described as neutral, what time does he have to represent his constituents? Why can't he answer " What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? " - how is that a misleading question?

Italian food

Hello! i am from an Italian-American family. I moved to this area and I am desperately trying to find authentic-ish food, as close to what I grew up with as I can get. Are there any other Italians who can give some recommendations? I am especially trying to find New Haven or NY style pizza, cannoli, and true Italian bread (crispy crust, chewy interior).

Needing A Roomate in Coon Rapids Area

My friend (18F) and I (18F) are about to become college freshmen. We're planning on moving into the Coon Rapids area early August, we'd love another female college freshman to be our third roommate.

We want to find an apartment thats about $1800 a month, so we can each pay $600 as that is within our budget. A roommate's wants and needs are just as important, and if we all decide it's a good match we can discuss boundaries, chores etc.

Neither of us are looking for a new best friend (but that would be great too!) We just want somebody who is considerate and relatively cleanly.

DMing is the best way to reach us!

Any advice on roommate hunting is welcome too.

Where to go?

starting a short term gig in Coon Rapids and wondering what are the vibes to the surrounding areas/suburbs? looking for a 3(ish) month rental in a cool spot not too far from Coon Rapids.... Hoping for a hispanic area? Lived in South and Central America for a bit. Just hoping for any kind of input about what the general feel is in each i.e. strip-mall central, diverse, industrial, hipster. Ive never lived anywhere in The Cities so any input is appreciated!

Are there any fish in coon creek?

I recently moved to the area and I regularly walk through some park trails running along the creek. The water seems like it's in good condition and flows quite fast but I haven't seen a single person fishing. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me

Is there a public dumpster or something like that around here, to dump things we don't need?

Moved here recently, trying to downsize. We do have lots of stuff and not sure where to put them. We've been to thrift stores several times, but there are like broken things...

Help! Good Alfredo needed!

I recently moved to CR from closer to the cities. I am looking for a decent local (or the closest) Fettuccine Alfredo (or similar Alfredo dish). Any suggestions?

I tried Pizza Flame and Mansetti's recently. I am pretty sure they use the same frozen supplier because they both came in the same container and were horrible.

I also noticed Barzini's or Buona Sera. My family went to Buona Sera and said it wasn't great. Does anybody have experience with either of these?

If anyone can recommend anything close. Maybe Maple Grove? Help!
