Annie's Parlour in Dinkytown shuts its doors for good just one year after reopening
These two popular Minneapolis bars are closing this summer These two popular Minneapolis bars are closing this summer These two popular Minneapolis bars are closing this summer More than 50 years after it first opened its doors, Annie's Parlour in Minneapolis closed for good on Wednesday. "We looked things over and we made a decision Monday afternoon," said Tony Rimarcik, co-owner of Annie's Parlour. The signature family-owned spot in Dinkytown was known for burgers, malts and its special place within the University of Minnesota community. "It's very much a place tied to the neighborhood, and the university, and the students," Rimarcik said. Annie's Parlour closed during the pandemic and reopened last year. The most recent closure is due to a fall in student foot traffic, Rimarcik said. The parking in the area is terrible, with construction making it worse, Rimarcik added. There's also a perception of crime in Dinkytown, Rimarcik said, but he believes that is overblown by some. "We simply are going to lose more money being open than being closed," Rimarcik said. Palmer's Bar in Minneapolis' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood announced on Wednesday that it is also closing its doors, after nearly 120 years.

U.S. Bancorp Comments on Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test Results
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) commented on the results of the Federal Reserve's Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) conducted in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Based on the 2025 stress test results and current rule requirements, the company's preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) is 2.6 percent for the period beginning October 1, 2025, and ending on September 30, 2026. The SCB, when added to the Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital to risk-weighted assets ratio minimum of 4.5 percent, requires the company to maintain a CET1 ratio at or above 7.1 percent throughout this period. The Federal Reserve has stated that it expects to finalize the SCB for all firms by August 31, 2025. All U.S. Bancorp regulatory ratios continue to reflect strong capital levels and exceed 'well-capitalized' requirements. The company's CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio using the Basel III standardized approach was 10.8 percent as of March 31, 2025. U.S. Bancorp's planned capital actions include a 4 percent increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.50 to $0.52 per share, subject to approval by U.S. Bancorp's Board of Directors, effective in the third quarter of 2025. The Company plans to continue share repurchases under the Company's existing $5 billion share repurchase program. 'The results of this year's stress test demonstrate that we are well-capitalized, have a healthy balance sheet, and remain prepared to manage potential industry stress and withstand a severe economic downturn,' said Gunjan Kedia, President and CEO of U.S. Bancorp.
