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

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Officer Mark Klukow Promotes NoMi At One Man Minneapolis Pageant...
Officer Mark Klukow, who beat a crowded field of contenders to win the "One Man Minneapolis" pageant, heavily promoted NoMi during his question and answer session.
Klukow said North Minneapolis had changed tremendously for the better, and he pointed out the charity he represented (Peace Foundation) had recently been credited with helping to bring about that positive change, including a sharp and notable drop in crime statistics...
Klukow was a bit at a loss for words when asked to tell a colorful cop story, and realized just about all his good stories were too disturbing for the formal event. At one point Klukow--a married father of three--looked to his wife in the audience and said something like, "Help me out, honey."
Boyish, endearing, and described even by a fellow competitor as "Super Cop," Klukow won the contest and brought victory back to NoMi. A loud "Klukow cheering section" was pulling for him every step of the way, with each appearance by Klukow and mention of his name bringing a sustained round of yelling.
