Someone put together a fascinating Web site after coming across a Depression-era collection of short stories written by fifth-graders:
The Hike in the Woods
Last Saturday my friends and I started for the woods. After we had traveled tow miles we came to the woods. After awhile I cried out, “Look out”, at that second a big rattle snake came out of the bushes and jumped at Frank. “Ouch”, cried Frank as the snake’s teeth went into his leg. Run for the doctor,” I cried.
All at once Frank dropped to his knees and was dead. After that we never went to the woods again.

Why, thank you, Joseph. There are plenty of other gems, too.

We are getting back down to business this Saturday, September 27 with a rousing rock show at the Terminal Bar in northeast Minneapolis. Bringing tha noize along with us will be Ryan K Sutter (formerly of Trumpet Marine) and Flink. We’ll play some new stuff. Ryan’s got a whole new thing going on. And Flink has been on my list of bands to play a show with sometime since I played with the The Traces and we’re finally doing it. Sometimes dreams do come true.

Parking: there are metered spots all over that are enforced until 10. But I think 1st Ave NE behind the bar is not metered and people tell me there are usually free spaces.
Come or we will cry!
