Fred, I bought and totally renovated inside and out the small mansions at 2431 Pleasant Ave. S., 2434 Pleasant Ave. S. and 2439 Pleasant Ave. S as well as 2438 Pillsbury Ave. S and 2434 Pillsbury Ave. S. in the late 70's and early 80's. I lived in 2434 Pillsbury Ave. S. from 1975 through 1988 and we had nothing but trouble from the residents of the group homes.
When they weren't robbing the Franklin National Bank, they were harrassing my good tenants in the aforementioned properties. I finally gave up and sold all of those properties and moved farther out in South Minneapolis. I do not know when you lived there in the middle of Whittier, but maybe things had changed by the mid 90's.
