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

Get Yer "Huggable North" Images RIGHT HERE!!!!
Images Contributed By Collier White
Collier White--who came up with a grassroots "Huggable North Minneapolis" branding effort--sent me these images to share and said he welcomed more "lively discussions" about his marketing idea. (Which, for the effort, I consider more of a prank-like stunt than an actual marketing effort)
But I certainly do agree with that whole Uptown Is For Sissies idea. However, even if Uptown weren't for sissies--which it is--North Minneapolis is ultra-affordable, funky, and greener by the minute.
Uptown is just WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Yeah, it's a fun place to go, but who can afford to live there? Get yourself a house in NoMi, I say, and if you want to party all the time in Uptown, well, I won't judge you.

Any good apartments? What's the story there. What's the demographic? Is it "HIP" (Maybe Too Much)?
So, "expensive" means "sissy?" Or is there a REAL criteria that makes you agree with slogan?
