Here’s a thing: The ever-indispensable Rain Taxi has been a mainstay in the Twin Cities literary community for a long time. Their history is an interesting one, and lucky for us, they’ve got it all chronicled in Rain Taxi Rewind, a reflection on the life and times of everyone’s favorite literary rag. Check it out!
