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.)
Hey thanks for the blog post and for hanging with the kids. They look like they had a blast.
