Photo by John Hoff It's funny how you can drive by a house hundreds of times, but then one day you look at it closely and notice...oh, the thrill of it! A STUPID NORTH MINNEAPOLIS PROPERTY REPAIR!
This house is....
...on Lyndale Ave. N., and any Realtor (trademarked word!) worth his/her commission will tell you the houses along Lyndale are finer inside with nice wooden buffets, leaded glass, that kind of thing. This particular house shows something old and fine on the exterior which hints treasures which may reside in the interior: a porch column made to look like--good grief--a Greek or Roman column.
(Some people know the difference. I merely know there IS a difference)
But check out the replacement column in the middle. Clearly, Rome has fallen and barbarian hordes have overrun a once-proud empire.
I've always thought the "stupid home repair" on that property was the stairs that look so poorly inserted into the front porch/balcony. How much you wanna bet that's a duplex now?? Another dollar, John?
