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

JN-SPAN: Senate District 58 DFL Convention, part 2
Post and video by the Hawthorne Hawkman.
Linda Higgins and Raymond Dehn were first asked what their top three issues are. That video is shown above. After that, things got more nitty-gritty as questions were asked around...
Community safety, an issue that is becoming unfortunately more and more pressing.
Problem landlords was the next question. This blog has covered the slumlord issue extensively, so I must say I felt quite a bit of gratification to see it brought forward at the convention.
The candidates were also asked about economic development and entrepreneurs.
Thank goodness both Linda Higgins and Raymond Dehn support the Bottineau corridor coming down Penn and Broadway.
The final question that I shot video for was around housing in general.
Shortly after the Q&A session, Dehn bowed out gracefully by asking for a unanimous endorsement of Linda Higgins.
Just what we need. A train that will get folks from Chicago to NOMI Faster.
