After reading about the recent drug raid on 2729 3rd St. N., one of my regular readers and contributors went by the house and snapped a picture...
What do we see here? Hmmm. Nice fence all around the property so nobody can just walk up to the door. An alarm company sign. A "Beware of Dog" sign.
Note how the grass around the house is about as neat as it can be in early Minnesota spring. Indeed, there is no reason for anybody to complain about the house and cause some city official to be sent out to make inquiries. The house is not easy to approach, but it's also not suspiciously like a fortress. Put this one right in "Better Homes And Grow Operations" Magazine.
Yes, Some damage is obvious right above the front door, but one suspects that happened during the police raid and associated search.
Will some kind of drug forfeiture law be invoked on this property? One waits and wonders. But thanks to the brave men and women of the 4th Precinct, that's one less drug dealer in our neighborhood. In the background there might lurk some good citizen who made a phone call or two, who knows? If this blog knew, this blog wouldn't be telling.
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

Where will you get your drugs if you run all of the dealers off?
It doesn't take a doctor to recogize the characteristics of a user.
