I am trying to create a definitive list of properties linked to
the TJ Waconia scandal, pulling in information from all over.
So here are the properties I have pulled off a recent City of
Minneapolis "Findings of Fact" involve revocation of
rental licenses.
3243 6th Street N.
4335 Knox Ave. N.
3447 Oliver Ave. N.
2934 Queen Ave. N.
2639 Girard Ave. N.
3234 Humboldt Ave. N.
1207 Knox Ave. N.
(I had this one earlier from
my "television list" that I managed
to "freeze frame" from a news
report)
3229 Humboldt Ave. N.
3306 James Ave. N.
3240 Sheridan Ave. N.
3235 Vincent Ave. N.
Here are the properties I managed to pull off the
"freeze frame" of a news report on T.J. Waconia.
1000 Upton Ave. N.
1012 39th Ave. N.
1124 5th St. N.
1207 Knox Ave. N.
(Also appears in the "findings of fact" so it is a link
between the two lists) (I'm not sure why that
fascinates me)
1430 5th St. N.
1505 Russel Ave. N.
1526 Upton Ave. N.
1625 Irving Ave. N.
1631 Washington Ave. N.
1643 Sheridan Ave. N.
1643 Upton Ave. N.
1651 Sheridan Ave. N.
1706 Vincent Ave. N.
1710 Queen Ave. N.
2315 Jackson St. NE
Quite arguably, it was that moment that created Johnny
Northside and gave him his special blogging powers
to expose evil doers and help the valiant citizens of
the North Side achieve a dream of urban utopia.
(Pose with fists on hips, cape blowing in the wind,
square-jawed cartoon superhero grin, helmet
shining like the sun) (Or a divorced dad who needs
to lose 20 pounds and pay more attention to his
haircut but can type like a madman, take yer
pick)
Here is the list I got from the "TJ Waconia victims
blog" when somebody came on there and said,
"Here is a fairly comprehensive list. Do with
it as you will." Later I was told, "this is about
half the properties."

8504 CARDIFF LN In fact, as these homes hit the market (and they
inevitably will) actual pictures of the homes and
other information--like whether they have
plumbing or if the pipes have been carted off
to fund crack cocaine--will be easy to turn up
if your fingers do the walking on what George
Bush calls "the Internets."
What is not so easy to find out is which houses have
squatters. Really, the only way to find out that
information is to go there and see for yourself
while obeying all state, local and especially
federal laws.
ADDENDUM, OCTOBER 2, 2008, "The List of 17."
These are properties which were, back in 2003, linked to "T.J., LLC" and a former partner named John Stenroos, but may not be caught up in the current mess.

ReplyDeleteNathan Daniel Jesh. Sentenced to a year probation. He was the closer and knew the deals were fraudulent.
Gayle Deann Claus, age 50, sentenced to three months in prison.
Stacie Marie Ott, age 42, sentenced to two years probation.
How exciting it is to keep turning up pieces of the puzzle, years later.
