In two previous postings (click here and also here) I republished a letter sent by the chair of the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners to the State Department of Corrections. The letter concerned the unacceptable concentration of Level Three sex offenders in Hennepin County (particularly North Minneapolis) and has been described by a high-ranking government source as a "shot across the bow" letter.

Well, what do you know? My bad. The letter includes three footnotes and I forgot to include them. It turns out those footnotes have quite a bit of pithy and pointed substance. What more can I say except here they are...

Images, 810 30th Ave. N., Subject Of A Previous Story About "Damascus Way Reentry Center"

Anonymously contributed photos, thank you, blog post by John Hoff


The house at 810 30th Ave. N. was the subject of a recent blog post, hitting my radar after a predatory offender on the jail roster reported it as his address, causing me to do some digging.

And then more digging.

Then I find myself asking the question which seems to upset my detractors so much:

WTF?

I still don't have the answers to my "WTF," but in the meantime a behind-the-scenes contributor sent me two images of the house in question, so at least readers can picture what I'm writing about.

Hmmmm. Looks like some nice, large picture windows have been blocked off and replaced with smaller windows. No screens in those upstairs windows.

(Sarcasm font)

Classy.
