Blind drug dealer and friend on 6th St. N.Jealous that a 70-year-old woman has managed to find herself a fulfilling hobby, plus get attention in the blogosphere, (see previous post) members of the "6th St. Rock Club" are organizing their own collecting activity...
There is talk behind-the-scenes of having some kind of large gathering which will feature a "stone soup" pot luck, hopefully with plenty of police attending to ensure the safety of the more rare and valuable rocks which--it is said--will absolutely blow away the 70-year-old woman's one-and-only rock in her rather overly-publicized collection.
It is said the whole tone of our North Minneapolis Summer 2009 is being (dare I say?) "set in stone" right now, depending upon how an incident like this is responded to by neighbors and, of course, police.
The thugs who hang out at 2207 6th St. N., the home of Calvin Stovall and Genevia Brown, appear to not realize THINGS HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED IN THIS PART OF NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. Decent people committed to neighborhood revitalization outnumber the scum committed to a thug life in "the hood." Decent people are talking to each other, very actively, using forms of social media including but not limited to this blog and e-democracy forums.
Furthermore, we have the ability to publicize, publicize, publicize what is happening at 2207 6th St. N. and how it is messing up the neighborhood. Whatever the "6th Street Rock Club" wants to publish--whether it be information, candid personal photos, or links to video posted on YouTube--this blog stands ready to do their bidding.
Have I mentioned that, in light of incidents like this--which certainly are heard about, whether this blog publicizes such incidents or NOT--the only viable strategy to effectively market North Minneapolis is my revolutionary theory of "Market And Romanticize The Struggle?"
Just thought I'd throw that out there. AGAIN.
