Good Sports Bar and Grill--which recently featured a "Jim Wentzell Day" celebration of revitalization and neighborhood volunteerism--just recently got their wireless internet up and running. The way it happened, actually, I was at the bar eating chicken wings with Jordan Neighborhood "super citizen" Megan Goodmundson and I was all, like, do you guys have wireless internet here at Good Sports?
The question ended up sparking a telephone conversation with their internet service provider. In no time at all, wireless internet was accessible with a password and the signal had been renamed after the bar instead of some kind of alpha-numeric lable. The first website to come up on the new, speedy, accessible internet signal was, of course, JOHNNY NORTHSIDE DOT COM.
Yes, it's true Minneapolis has wireless internet everywhere, and you can get it if you subscribe for a low monthly fee. Well, I find their signal slow and frustrating. There, I said it, and let the chips fall where they may...hopefully right next to my delicious chicken wings at Good Sports bar and grill.

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
