The Line is taking a break for two weeks so our editorial/photographic team can switch into holiday mode. We won't publish on December 22 or 29. But we will be back and raring to go on January 5, with more stories about the Twin Cities as a creative hub and a terrific place to live. Look for Holly Dolezalek on the possible effects of the Republican victories in November on the future of light rail and the area's cultural amenities. Resident Tourist Dale Connelly will look deeply into a U of M lab that's making national waves with its study of water. Dan Heilman will preview the emerging American Indian Cultural Corridor on Franklin Avenue...and that's just the start of a brand new year for The Line!
