Shortly before the army swearing-in ceremony for Peter Teachout, former Chair of the Hawthorne Neighborhood, I stopped by So-Low to pick up some "fake champagne" for the party at the (abstaining) Teachout residence. As always, So-Low had sparkling grape juice at a great low price, near the front of the store close by the meat and produce sections.
Walking inside the store, I noticed a new addition to the front entryway...
It was one of the "We Watch, We Call" signs which are popping up everywhere in NoMi.
As if super-cheap brie cheese wasn't a good enough reason to love So-Low, their commitment to improving the neighborhood is another good reason.

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
