When In The District

Yeah, it's been a while...
Hey - if you're in 66B, you know the big non-political event of the year is the Minnesota Street Rod Association convention at the Fairgrounds.
Of course, the personal is political, and noplace more than Saint Paul, where "neighborhood activists" got the annual "cruise" - from the fairgrounds down Snelling, and from the Capitol to Porky's - banned. These people - largely the same folks who banned smoking in bars, and want to ban billboards, because they think that a major city should sound and smell like a farm town - complained about the noise (one lousy night a year!), and developed enough pals at City Hall to make their wishes overrun those of the thousands of people who used to drive miles to sit along the route and watch the amazing display of Detroit muscle.
Blah.
Anyway - the convention survives, and I hope to see you there; I'll be broadcasting from the Patriot's new spot on Dan Patch Avenue. Stop by, I'll look forward to seeing you all!
