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

Hooping Fun at Sojourner Truth Academy!
Post and photos by the Hawthorne Hawkman.
Ariah Fine of Inside Northside came up with a series of events where NoMi folks could talk with or engage a third grade class throughout this semester. Connie Nompelis, NoMi's hooping queen, signed up for one of those sessions. I tagged along as kind of a last-minute thing, thinking that this would be a good way to bring some excitement into my day.
The kids, as you can see, had a blast. I'm even told a picture or two of me might exist, and I wouldn't mind putting that up as well.
(Do not click "Read More," but do go out and do something fun with kids in NoMi.)
