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

Hawthorne Voices Blog Up and Running!
Guest post by the Hawthorne Hawkman. Contributed photos.
When John gave me the keys to the kingdom a few months ago, I started doing my own thing on the Johnny Northside blog. This often meant Hawthorne-specific blog posts, or mortgage/policy wonk posts appeared next to political satire or other quirky JNS items. Things even got a little hairy when it seemed to some people that I might have been using Hawthorne non-profit/tax-exempt time to write my personal political views.
More importantly though, the message about Hawthorne-specific issues was getting diluted. So the Hawthorne Neighborhood Council has decided to revive the Hawthorne Voices blog. For now, Housing Director Jeff Skrenes, aka "The Hawthorne Hawkman" will be writing and monitoring that blog. Please be patient as that site undergoes some changes. For now, many of the items may be re-posted in their entirety on JNS. As Hawthorne Voices readership picks up, links will appear on the right-hand side of JNS and stories will remain on the Hawthorne Voices blog.
