“...fifteen years on the Erie Canal...” You must be of an age when children were taught to celebrate our history instead of being ashamed of it. I grew up in SoCal and we sang that song in school and even learned about the Erie Canal.

That’s neat. I thought it was a 7th-grade New York History topic in the ‘60s.

Will it be near ‘Justine Damond’ Boulevard?

MN is so effed up. Well, The Twin Cities are. I’m sure that family living close the the Canadian Border, ‘Up Dare’ votes for Trump! ;)

It’s like that in Wisconsin, too. Once you’re outside of Madistan and Milwaukeestan, we’re quite NORMAL!

Which street is named after Stalin, Lenin, and Adolf Hitler?

I mean if a city is going to screw up that bad; they might as well go all the way into pure evil.

Don’t forget Pelosi and Soros; the two living most evil people on the planet.
