I wonder if it’s because of the large Muslim population.

The West Bank, where Palmer's is, used to be a cool and funky old hippie/student neighborhood, but now it's the middle of Mogadishu on the Mississippi.

This was my dive bar on 60th and Lexington. It opened in 1937. Many nights the bar would lock up with me and the bartender Johnny drinking and talking to dawn. The owner, Charlie would be sleeping in his usual booth. The bar is gone. Where Johnny went, I don’t know. Charlie passed on. Later, I learned that Charlie, who claimed perjury, owned the entire building. The best of times are the thoughtless kind…

Lot of it probably also has to do with the price of booze. It is out of sight and even wholesale and there is no room to add any profit and still have it sell... They are killing their own industry with price fixing. Their costs are now no more than before Covid yet they have chosen to keep Covid overpriced mark ups. A lot of products/industries are still doing this and refuse to blame themselves for their own low sales.

Wonder why they didn’t try to sell it instead of just closing.

Garson Keillor on Lake Woebegon, Minnesota.

GARRISON KEILLOR: Where all the women are strong and all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average.

As Minnesotan Bob Dylan wrote the times they are a changin’.

Should be this.

Where all the women are Marxist strong and all the men are looking as wimpy as Tampon Timmy and all the children appear to be Somalian.

...Today, Cedar-Riverside is sometimes described as “Little Somalia” because of the many Somalis who live here and who built the mosques, malls and restaurants that now line Cedar Avenue. Some residents prefer “Little United Nations” as a more accurate representation of global connections in the neighborhood represented by the Oromo, Ethiopians, Turks, Iraqis, Vietnamese, Koreans, Ecuadorians, Eritreans and other newcomers from Africa, Asia and Latin America who have moved into and through the neighborhood since the 1970s...

...To commemorate these communities, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Streets west of Cedar Avenue were recently renamed Oromo Street, Somali Street and Taleex Avenue...
