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

422 30th Ave N is Safe Once More!
Post and photo by the Hawthorne Hawkman
Well that was fast. John and I found out about the raze order on 422 30th Ave N on the same day. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep him from blogging about it, so I went to work talking to our friends at the city of Minneapolis. The INSTANT I began reading the post John had written, I got a call informing me that the property will be taken off the demo list.
Whew! The "brick house" is safe again.
(Do not click "Read More," but do keep an eye on this house!)

To those of us late to the game, what are the particulars of this house that you think warrant keeping it off the raze list?
The big appeal is the house's unique exterior. There just aren't many like it in Hawthorne, or NoMi for that matter. The house is pretty much a shell and most everything needs to be replaced. But it's a shell that appears to be in fine shape, and in that case one of our developers said, "We like shells."
Oh, my word. I went and saw "How To Train Your Dragon" with my son Alex...I come back and the house is saved.
Nice. Very nice.
I think I better keep blogging about L3SOs being concentrated in NoMi and doing something about that, if this kind of good luck is going to persist.
Quick, all the contributing bloggers. BLOG SOMETHING. It's make a wish and get instant results day on Johnny Northside Dot Com!
needs a new garage!
@ John - LOL You crack me up!
