Bruce is right. I grew up at 31st and Central NE in a house my grandfather bought in 1901 and my mom and brother still call home. The park, bordered by 31 to 32nd Ave NE, Polk St to Fillmore with St Anthony Blvd bisecting it is the highest point. However, nobody called it Demings Heights. The first time any of the old timers heard the name was when the Park Board put it on a map. The name we all called it by was Norwegian Hill....great place to go, especially for kids. There's a patch of sumac on the southside of St Anthony that has the best 'forts' in town. Unfortunately, the walkway and stairs, which would even make Rocky work up a sweat, have fallen into disrepair and have been blocked off for years. On a clear day, you can stand up there and see forever. Great place to look for tornadoes, too, but don't tell my mom I said that.
