823 Penn Ave. N. Is Just...GONE!

I do make an effort to mark the passage of buildings in North Minneapolis. A reader recently told me 823 Penn Ave. N. is GONE. I don't have a photo, so I've substituted this pleasant images of Limca bottles. This is the legendary house where the owner was inadvertently boarded inside.

Since randomly buying some Limca in the West Bank area, I've researched a bit about this Coca-Cola product sold in India. Click here to learn more. Click here to enjoy a Limca commercial.

So, yeah, 823 Penn Ave. N. I wonder what will replace it. But is it gone? It is so, so gone.

On the bright side, it turns out that if you buy the right kind of soft drink, beautiful women will just...fall for you. This is even true in INDIA.
