What?! No Water At "Water World?"

I was driving around with Jeannie Hoholik of Keller Williams Realty, when I noticed something odd at 406 30th Ave. N....

Oh, my word, could it be...a utility shut-off notice? Common enough in North Minneapolis, yes, but here's the rich irony: this is the house I dubbed "Water World" because of a rather dramatic story I heard from a real estate agent about copper pipes ripped out...the entire basement being flooded, then FROZEN SOLID.

But this summer "406" was completely renovated, albeit with some corners cut. Check out the paint job, above. I'd call this a "Stupid North Minneapolis Home Repair" but the standard for that is high and hard, and it's difficult for something as minor and mundane as a bad paint job to qualify.

In any case...no water at Water World. Huh.

What next, blood and toads from the sky?!!!!!
