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.

Crap Piled High On The Grassy Median At 2929 6th Street North
Photos by John Hoff
This is on the grassy median near 2929 6th Street, the house which a reporter from Minn Post wrote about in his great story on my neighborhood, with quite a description of the ankle-deep debri inside the house.
Something seems to be happening at this property, though I'm not sure what. Here are some pictures of the pile of belongings tossed curbside. (I'd probably rummage for a few good items of salvage if I weren't worried about a confrontation over being a neighborhood do-gooder)
I can't tell if this is the beginning of an orderly clean-up by a responsible (or somewhat responsible) property owner/manager, or if crack-dealing thugs are just making themselves at home and were trying to clear out a patch of floor.
Dear Johnny,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that "evil pink pony" is not responsible for the proliferation of phone books as well? See how the reflection of the phone books shine in pony's eye?
Sincerely,
A fan
p.s. Be careful out there. You won't help anybody if you get seriously hurt by some thugs. Right? Right.
