Ep: 33 Everything is Prettier in Whittier: Art, Acronyms & A-holes14 Jul 20251 h 06 min

<p>This week on This Must Be The Place, we dig into all things Whittier — the Minneapolis neighborhood that somehow manages to be both the birthplace of the city’s arts scene and the epicenter of mysterious acronyms. MIA, MCAD, CTC... we cover the ones you’ve heard of and make up a few more just for fun.</p>

<p>We also confront an uncomfortable historical truth: pretty much every revered institution from the 19th and 20th century has a sleazy white guy somewhere in the background. Neat! Andrew pitches alternative names for the Juicy Lucy while attempting to bridge the gender gap in American bar food.</p>

<p>Trivia is played, boom times are analyzed, and Casey tells the story of how he nearly lost his nieces and nephews in a shark attack,, and more.</p>

<p>Join us — for art, burgers, light trauma, and a bit of Whittier history.</p>
