THE SLEEPLESS UNREST: THE REAL CONJURING HOMEThere has always been a fascination with the supernatural and demonically possessed. When The Exorcist tapped into the American zeitgeist of the 1970s, horror cinema was changed as we know it. It cemented itself in history as a pop culture phenomenon that would ultimately pave the way for its many derivatives. Not long after, The Amityville Horror entered the scene.

Heather Corndorf, boss lady of mXe (pronounced “moxie”), classifies her dance-based fitness center as a movement studio, and move she does. This spring, Corndorf took a step in a new direction, linking arms with Katie Haggerty and Brad Wagner on their new venture. The Move For Good is a fitness collab for the future, featuring virtual classes both live and on-demand from a smattering of local and national pros, outdoor classes, and community outreach programming.

North Loop-ers, give that signature “nice” welcome to Los Angeles-based Barry’s, finally opening on Washington Ave. in July. The opening of our first-ever Barry’s has been teased since late 2019, when the chain started eyeing expansion to Minneapolis. The North Loop studio was slated to open in February 2020 but paused with the turmoil and uncertainty of the year and has been mostly crickets since. Well, the Barry’s team is setting up shop for real now.
