Sigh. This neighborhood used to be almost all Scandinavian immigrants and is now largely populated by hipsters and liberal busy bodies.


I guess they road the train straight from Minnesota to Seattle?

“I guess they road the train straight from Minnesota to Seattle?”

My grandmother was 17 when she came over to the USA back in 1906 or something. All alone, didn’t know anybody. She landed in New York. She asked about where the Norwegian’s lived. Some guy pointed to the sign and got her headed in the right direction on a train.

“I didn’t know I was going to Minnesota until hours on the train! I just wanted a neighborhood in New York City with some Norwegians. But, here I am.”
