What is This All About

After perusing the blogsphere, and the Internet I have found that there are no sites that are keeping up to date posts regarding the 'State of the Ward' for Ward 1 in Minneapolis. My hope for this blog is to change all of that, and to keep an honest, (somewhat) non-biased look at politics and life of NE and SE.

For too long it has seemed that Ward 1 is the forgotten ward, and has become the dumping ground in Minneapolis. From the underdeveloped 'main street' of Central, to the over industrialized Mid-City Industrial, to the under-utilized Shoreham Yards, this ward needs some work, and more importantly, some attention. I'm not saying I'll have the ability to change the landscape by any means but I can at least offer a sounding board for the residents of this ward. I won't be censoring any posts (unless spam) and welcome any comments as they pertain to the posts. I also welcome your thoughts on the ward, and the direction of this blog to help better serve the community.

Let the fun begin.
