vanslooten-009.jpgThis morning, I’m already hearing that Mary VanSlooten’s predicament, illustrated above, isn’t unique. Read more about her shattered tranquility in south Minneapolis and watch the video. I should note that WCCO and KSTP beat me to this story, although neither station appears to have the video available on its web site. The text of Darcy Pohland’s story on WCCO is here. Some who have commented want to know if we’ll report whether the state follows through on its desire to buy the house. The answer is yes.

    that bridge. Where are all the supposedly intelligent people i Minnesota?
