So I tell people about how great 311 works and then this wretched little house makes me eat crow...
I've spent a month calling 311 about 3020 4th St. N., reporting how the front door is unsecured and anybody can just WALK RIGHT IN. (Be warned if you walk right in: the second floor stairway landing lacks a railing. You could just walk right off the edge if you're not careful)
Sigh. Sometimes calling 311 isn't so much like making a report as it is like LOBBYING.
But I don't lose hope, and I don't let up.
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. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

Its 3020 4th St btw...and I just posted about it before I read ur blog..My fault
Thanks for catching that. I made corrections.
I know I called it in right to 311, because they told me about the boarding orders and, oh yes, they'd be getting it boarded. Just have faith, I guess.
I think mostly due to your compulsive blogging, they finally boarded up that door, I noticed when I went to pick the kids up from school today. Couldn't snap a photo the snow was too heavy and the car behind me was following to close
