The fifth season of Bravo's runaway reality hit "Project Runway" is already upon us. It's not clear whether production was sped up for what will be its final season on Bravo (the rights were purchased by Lifetime in a messy legal battle), and all we can expect is that host Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors will return. There will now be 16 contestants rather than 15, but fans can expect little in the show's formula to change. Carry on! (8 p.m. Wed., Bravo.)

Blacklist Vintage

Another week, another vintage store sets up shop in Minneapolis. This time it's Blacklist Vintage, which specializes in men's and women's vintage apparel and housewares from the '50s through the '80s. Highlights include cool '80s jewelry, glassware, lamps and a men's clothing selection that, unlike most vintage shops, rivals its women's. The shop is run by Jennifer Mumm and Vanessa Messersmith (wife of local singer/songwriter Jeremy Messersmith), who've been collecting their wares for more than two years. They're hosting an open house party this weekend with electronic music duo Beatrix Jar and a 10 percent discount on everything in the store. (8 p.m.-midnight. Sat. Blacklist Vintage, 2 E. 27th St., Mpls. 612-872-8552.)

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
