Warhol-in-one

Anyone who grew up in the suburbs knows the sweet sound of that little mini-golf "putt-putt" on a hot summer day. The Walker Art Center knows this, too, and they go about this nostalgia in a rather artsy way, asking artists to create their own one-off mini-golf course on the rooftop terrace. My favorite arty-farty piece is "Thrillo-Brillo" (Hole 4) by Yousif Del Valle, Tom Loftus, Andrew MacGuffie, Meena Mangalvedhekar and Amy Toscani. Stacks of Warholian Brillo-pad boxes block the putter's way across the green, making it nearly impossible to score a hole-in-one, but also inserting some tongue-in-cheek commentary on the Pop-py nature of the game. Grab a hot dog at the cafe next door after you play. (11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Wed., 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Thu., 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. through Sept 2, subject to weather. $8-$10, free for ages 6 and under with paid adult. 725 Vineland Place, Mpls.)

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.
