To some recent messages: 1. Tom's drugstore is not only a neighborhood institution--he is a great resource to the city &, if it's a permissible city issue, the whole blinking human race. Tom is also a great keeper of the Wellstone flame. 3. My motions & votes on the NRP renters-to-owners proposal today were to keep consideration of the proposal by the NRP, MCDA, neighborhoods & Council alive as a possibly promising idea. I objected to the way the Council was proceeding (not all that differently than it was accusing the NRP Board of doing). And at bottom I do think there could be real merit to such a proposal. 9. I have it on high authority (my wife Betts who is editing a book about Prospect Park)that the highest point in the city is the Witch's Hat Water Tower in Prospect Park: The plaque on the Tower reads as follows: "The Witch's Hat Water Tower was designed by Norwegian Architect Frederick William Cappelen and constructed by the City of Minneapolis in 1913. Occupying the highest natural land area in Minneapolis, the water tower was built to improve the water pressure in the homes of Prospect Park residents. The tower was decommissioned in 1952, but has been preserved as a significant part of this city's history. The Witch's Hat Tower and Tower Hill Park are listed in the National Register of Historic Places."
Peace to all in these difficult days, Paul Zerby Prospect Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
