Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia.

Jeff's New Apartment Bears An Odd Resemblance To "Bowser's Castle"
Photo By John Hoff And Image of Bowser's Castle From This Blog.
When Jeff fled his apartment at "Upper Drug-O-Topia" after only a month, click here, he ended up at a much better place which, according to Jeff, reminds him of "Bowser's Castle" in the "Super Mario Brothers" video game.
I asked Jeff...
..."Is Bowser safe in his castle, in the game?"
Jeff said, "No, Mario usually gets him."
"Well, then," I said. "See yourself as Mario, not Bowser."
Here are images of Jeff's new place and the only good picture I could find of Bowser's Castle, so readers can compare and judge for themselves. But this is a case where a man's home is somebody else's castle!

Oooooooooooh, it's one of the historic concrete block houses!!!
Fancy. :-)
It is, indeed, and there are a few right around it. I'll probably get around to putting up more pictures.
I've got a better pic than that to show a resemblance.

The problem with seeing myself as Mario is that in the first video game, he rescues like seven princesses and there's always this line: "Sorry Mario, but our princess is in another castle."
