My husband and I both grew up in Minneapolis. There are many things about growing up here in the sixties and seventies that are good to be nostalgic about. However, there are things that still need changing around here to make things better. Let me make a short list of things that need our attention: - The school system - Housing - Transportation - Jobs How many of us remember the percentage of children that are homeless and/or go hungry in the Twin Cities each and every day? How many children do not even graduate from our High Schools? How many of us suffer from inadequate or overly expensive housing in our tight "housing market"? How many of us hold down two, three or four jobs per two parent households to make ends meet? Just a thought, not intending to be a spoil-sport.
