City officials appear to be taking action, yet again, on 2700 Morgan Ave. N., the notorious whorehouse which is almost single-handedly dragging down the quality of life on the Jordan Pond.
Recently, city officials recommended...
...revoking the rental license, which is held by "Dana D III," the name of a property empire which appears to have fallen on very hard times and, lately, it's hard to tell who exactly is in charge. Dana D III made no attempt to appeal the recommendation of rental license revocation. If you want more details, check out this city document.

Lately, when driving by the notorious house, I've been told by a friend in the neighborhood "Turn your face away. Glare in the other direction." It seems there is constantly some no-account individual sitting or standing outside, waiting for...well, this is a family blog, so I'll refrain from further description.
But I notice they seldom have to wait longer than 15 minutes.
I'm just saying.
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.

Brandt is a very fair and impartial reporter. NOMI is lucky to have him.
Hi Johnny- I'm wondering if you know who the best person at the City would be to contact regarding rental licensing. More and more I am blown away with the places that the city will issue rental licenses to. What in the world is the reasoning for continuing to license a known crack den?? I live next to a duplex that is run down, owner stopped paying taxes and or mortgage, and the rental license is held by Steven Scott Management. The home is not livable- the city had to order a new roof, water heaters, stairs, etc. which are just tossed onto the tax bill. What the hell kept the City from revoking the rental license immediately and fining the party in charge?? Who is running Minneapolis rentals???
