Re: [Mpls] Yellow Water From The Tap and other "Risky Behavior"

I believe if Mark read many of those posts he would find that I have been very, very critical of the City Council that has allowed the deterioration of the City. Plain and simple we do not have adequate leadership of the City. The Council bears a great deal of the fault because in a "Strong Co

Lake of the Isles, of course, is in fact a "swamp" that was turned into a lake (excavated to deepen, with spoils deposited along the shoreline to create a distinct edge) during the era of man's domination of nature, when the ultimate water amenity was a civilized pool suitable for strolling aro

I have a few Barbie Dolls hanging by string over a power line inbetween my home and a neighbor's. I always took this as a protest against gender roles and unrealistic physical standards for women perpetuated by American Pop Culture. If it has something to do with Drug dealing I don't know.

The Washington Avenue shoe tree is a hackberry at the southwest end of the W.A. bridge that is afflicted with witches'broom--a virus that just disfigures trees but doesn't kill them. When I took Plant-Path (ca. 1976) I cited that tree for my pathogen list. At the time, there were no shoes on

I wonder if the LOI residents who so stubbornly hold on to the vision of a "civilized pool" have been to Loring Park in the past year or so. The managed wetlands there are, to my eyes, quite wonderful, and greatly improve the feel of the park. Bravo to whoever was responsible for that. Becca
