I agree with Rick that Dusty's would be a logical place for a gathering. However, my vote for most-endangered dive goes to the Viking. I don't know the grim details, but their liquor license was in limbo for most of last winter, and they are operating now on a provisional license (for the

My husband plays every Friday night at the Viking with a band called the Liquor Pigs (happy hour, 6:30-9). I would be devastated if the bar closed down! I would highly recommend it as a Mpls-issues gathering spot, except it's a little on the small side. But a wonderful place to hear music and

My understanding of the law is that assessors are still required to visit--or attempt to visit--a property once every four years. I suspect that most often the assessor makes the in-person appraisal by eye-balling the exterior of a given home, and then relies also on other information--building
