Job seeking has been foreign to me...until recently

I lost my job of 13 year this past July. I lost it partly to do with the economy, mostly due to poor business decisions by my employer and it's clients. Being a displaced worker after being gainfully employed for 23 years is a bit of a shock. Especially when my wife lost her job a month earlier (not to mention my daughter's mother loosing her's a couple of months before). I have been lucky to have contract work with my former employer although that has slowed. The Minnesota Workforce Center has… Continue

Introduction to Hostelling

This is my first post and i would like to write down a few sentences regarding hostels. Hostels are a good method to travel the world on a low budget. From the cheapest to the more grand there is something to accommodate every liking and plan. The important thing regarding backpacker hostels is that tons of college students flock to them because they are cheap and entertaining so there is constantly plenty of student travelers around to get-together with!… Continue

Logan Park 8/26/09

A man I've never seen before knocked on my door tonight. I refused to open door, asked what he wanted. He said he wanted to talk. I said I wouldn't open the door; it's 11:30 at night. He said he was neighbor from across street and needed to borrow $8 to buy formula for his baby. He is not a neighbor and I know of no babies on the block. The guy was white, about 5'8", skinny, mustache, straight thin brown hair. Wearing t-shirt, jeans (I think) and white shoes. Continue

New Speed Bump on Central Ave.

I’ve often complained about the speed at which vehicles travel on Central Ave. on the stretch between Lowry and Columbia Heights…. Well, it seems the rail crossing repair has created an unintended--or, perhaps, intended--solution. However, I doubt it was intentional since I’ll bet that the ongoing speed trap at 33rd is huge revenue source for the city of Minneapolis, and they wouldn’t want to lose that. The new crossing at 36th is so far above grade that it has the effect of a giant speed bump.… Continue

The First Annual Northeast Push Cart Derby at Waite Park was a success. The event drew over 100 neighbors from around Northeast Minneapolis to see eight teams compete in head-to-head racing.
