Secrets of the City

gosh. . . in my neighborhood, putting something along the street means it’s trash or free

In retrospect, the Kittelsens think they were a bit too trusting to display the valuable painting on their driveway.

Gee, ya think?

trusting doesn’t seem to be the right word for it. also, people, please keep your bad art in your house…you neighbors’ children don’t need to be exposed to that stuff.

That goes for shitty poetry too, grote.

I’m sure the insurance company will think it’s an interesting way to incur a loss.

A business meeting? Ten bucks says it was an Amway meeting.

amway??

now that makes sense…I was wondering what kind of meeting that was…

AMEN. Someone absconded with my boyfriend’s bungee cords this summer – he was attaching our bikes to his car, set the cords down on the boulevard, and came in to ask me a question. Went back out three minutes later and they were gone. I laughed. A lot. Especially because we had just had the discussion not ten minutes earlier about not leaving anything on the boulevard – especially in uptown.

Amway? More like a Passion Party.

In my neighborhood, anything in the yard is fair game. Including 250 pound picnic tables.

The parties who picked it up will probably appear on Antiques Roadshow with it.

What is even more amazing is how this was the top news story on WCCO yesterday.

My favorite news station but last night they dropped the ball.

We keep an Elvis impersonator on the wall. We had to stop putting him out when he molested the mail man.

Did anyone watch the video link? One must assume Ms Kittleson had some indication that the TV crew coming to interview her would bring a camera…which would make the burgundy velor tracksuit a deliberate choice. The mind reels considering which outfits were passed over in favor of this one.

I’m pretty sure a sign or balloons would’ve done the trick if you want people to know where they’re going for a “business meeting” at your house. If something is that valuable to them, why would they put it out in the snow? And especially that late at night? The whole things seems contrived to me. I hope the insurance company is investigating this one.
