JNS BLOG EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Fire At 3020 6th St. N., Former Crack House...

Here is exclusive video of last night's fire at 3020 6th St. N.

The young man in the video who briefly breaks into song is named Alex a.k.a "Shmoo" (rhymes with "moo") and he hails from Goober Gulch, Virginia.

No, seriously, he's from near Virginia Beach and he's visiting a relative in the Jordan Neighborhood. Shmoo's infrequent visits to North Minneapolis are always exciting.

The other video is the "Bloodhound Gang" singing "The Roof Is On Fire" if you want to sing along with Shmoo. The sentiments expressed in the song were spontaneously uttered by several bystanders. This house has brought evil to our neighborhood for years.

All the same, I'll be the first to say the structure might be saved, and I still hope a success story can come from all this crack house drug dealing ugly-piled-on-ugly.
