Photo and blog post by John HoffNo blog is going to top the Irving Inquisition when it comes to detailed coverage of the Steve Meldahl slumlord empire, click here for an example of that coverage. But today I was driving past 1223 26th Ave. N., which Meldahl lists as his master address for a number of properties he owns, and I thought: So that's where all the slummy magic begins!
But, of course, nobody in North Minneapolis believes that Meldahl really LIVES in this crappy little crackerbox, and yet...
...the building may very well be Meldahl's headquarters, in some sense of local administrative control over his empire of slum. When residents of North Minneapolis cast their eyes around at Meldahl's mess and ask aloud: Where is Meldahl? Where is this slimeball? THIS is the answer we get: 1223 26th Ave. N.
Well, Irving Inquisition blog can have Meldahl as a bone to chew, and good luck with that, but I certainly want to get my licks in before Meldahl's rental property empire collapses.
And why would I think that? Why would I think Meldahl's empire will fall?
Because North Minneapolis is turning itself around, and the empires of slumlords stand in the way. Something has to give, and it won't be progress, it will be the slumlord empires.
