In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack attends the Stearns History Museum’s Breakfast Club presentation of Dr. Annette Atkins, professor emeritus from the College of St. Benedict St. John’s University.
Following the death of George Floyd, Dr. Atkins began developing a program called “Missing Pieces” that detailed the racial makeup and development of the St. Cloud area so that we might all have a better idea of where we came from in order to be able to move into a better future.
In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, we take true-crime back over 100 years to Darling, Minnesota, and the murder of Annie Kintop. Not only is it an unsolved crime, but it is also now an original play written by Taryn Verley and coming to the Charles A. Martin Auditorium in Little Falls this Thursday, August 5th through Sunday, August 8th.
And now, please join Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack as he talks with folks from the Morrison County Historical Society and the Little Falls Summer Musical group about the creation of and the history behind Darling.

In downtown Minneapolis, there’s a gay bar with several dance floors conveniently named the Gay 90’s.
The Gay 90’s hasn’t always been gay. The bar began as a supper club for a straight crowd. It opened in the 1950s and the name was a reference to an earlier decade, the 1890s.
Then, in 1975, the vibe changed in a big way. The owners of the Gay 90’s bought a disco ball, hired DJs, and turned the 90’s into a club catering to gay men.
In this original KFAI documentary, “Fly Robin Fly: That Disco-Crazed Moment When The Gay 90’s Came Out Of The Closet” by KFAI’s Todd Melby, you’ll hear a history of the bar featuring some of the people who worked, danced and connected at the Gay 90’s.
