Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:31:01 GMT

Before The High Hat opened this summer, I stopped by to chat with owner Michael Noyes.Albums by Taylor Swift and Thelonious Monk rest near the turntable at The High Hat, a new Cathedral Hill restaurant. (Jared Kaufman / Pioneer Press)I was first struck by the stunning transformation he made to the former Bon Vie Bistro and A Piece of Cake location in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill. The physical space was his starting point, he told me, and the food menu followed.He’s worked in St. Paul restaurants for years as a “front-of-house guy” and is also a drummer. The High Hat is his first solo project.I was excited to return for a meal once the restaurant had gotten on its feet — and Noyes nailed it. The cafe was bustling (but not overly noisy!) on a weekend morning earlier this fall, and the vibrant and jazzy atmosphere was truly delightful.Oh, and the food was great, too.My dining partner and I started with drinks. The staff, many of whom are Taylor Swift fans, created the coffee menu, a...

Biden goes to an Illinois auto plant saved by a labor deal as he promotes a worker-centered economy

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:31:01 GMT

By JOSH BOAK (Associated Press)WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden went to Chicago on June 28 to give a landmark speech on “Bidenomics,” only to learn in private during the trip about a soon-to-close auto factory, news that was a challenge to his vision for the country.The prospect of a shuttered Stellantis plant in the small city of Belvidere became an immediate priority for Biden. He ordered up an economic analysis and spoke to company officials about the plant, according to White House officials. The Democratic president wanted to show that his policies could deliver for workers, rather than repeat the decades of factory closures that had gutted parts of the Midwest and fed into a deep political divide.On Thursday, Biden will visit Belvidere to showcase that auto plant, which has reopened as part of the settlement of a targeted strike by the United Auto Workers union. The reopening “goes to the heart of who he is, the heart of his vision for the country and how he’s led,” said...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:31:01 GMT

Authorities with the Los Angeles Police Department have announced an arrest in connection with the torso of a woman found in a dumpster in Encino Wednesday morning.   At a press conference late Wednesday night, officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said 35-year-old Samuel Haskell was arrested at 11:25 a.m. at the Topanga Mall in connection with the crime. He has been charged with one count of murder.  While authorities believe the torso found in the bag is Haskell's wife, they said partial remains are harder to positively identify. “If a murder suspect is dismembering a body, it’s to delay identification,” said LAPD homicide detective Efren Guttierez.They also said they are looking for Haskell’s elderly parents who lived at Haskell’s Tarzana home in the 4100 block of Coldstream Terrace.  The gruesome discovery of a woman’s torso in a dumpster led detectives to a home in Tarzana where three people are unaccounted for on Nov. 8, 2023.
