TMJ Nails = Trash Massing Jimmy Nails
Several weeks ago before, the weekend before NoMi would have its ass handed to it by the Great Twister of 2011; we in Jordan had a nice and successful Clean Sweep event. As the guy responsible for making sure everything happened as designed, I made sure to get everyone into their teams, supplied, and out the door with a clear mission. When the last straggler arrived, I assigned myself to garbage truck duty. I thought it was going to suck; turned out to be a hell of a lot of fun.

| My Clean Sweep chariot awaits to be loaded with 14,000 lbs of your garbage! |
We made our rounds through Jordan, and on our way back to the ranch we went through the alleys paralleling Broadway. Then we pull up to this…
 |
| Broken fence and siding just lying there. |
 |
| You can't store debris here. |
 |
| More piles of trash, broken fencing, and an illegal dumpster that's illegally locked. |
 |
| Note the lack of windows in the back. |
 |
| Ah yes, this reminds me of 2207 Irving. |
 |
| That electrical is so ghetto engineered, no way it could be legal. |
 |
| Really? You want people to park in the rear and see that mess? |
 |
| Probably just a front for drug deals. |
 |
| Let me just dump a big ass piece of siding right here on top of a pile of debris. |
Thuggery at its… day-to-day standard operating procedure, but worse. My trash collecting partner—who happens to be so nice and proper that you can see the golden halo twinkling over her head—was so agitated by the site that her language quickly descended into something reminiscent of a drunken dock worker with anger management issues. I already talk like that in my daily speech, so we were simply on the same page at that point.
Naturally we 3-1-1’d the site. After moving on, a half dozen of ΓΌber baggy pant wearing thugs came out and stared at us as we rode away in our chariot of nastiness. Arriving back at the ranch, we ran into Mr. Samuels and immediately ran the issue right up the flag pole.

| Don Samuels, make it happen! |
Dear Don Samuels, we have an unauthorized garbage dump in our neighborhood. Please close them down. Oh yea, can you get the building torn down too? It looks like shit. It’s not as if the neighborhood is going to miss this place. We still have like 37 more hair and nail joints all up and down Broadway, just say’n.

We're legit homey! Check out our FB page. Quit messing with our money. http://www.facebook.com/pages/TMJ-Nails/132670253438640
Oh yes, how I could I have been so foolish? Of course, a Facebook page means you're legitimate! If you're actually a legitimate business than clean your act up.
A total of 10 check-ins. 14 people like the page. 11 photos, the last of which was added almost a year ago. And this makes you guys "legit"?
Oh, that reminds me. Ever since I quit eHarmony last year, suburbanites named Brittany who have a Close Personal Relationship With Jesus will NOT stop calling me. So yeah, I get it.
First, lemme say, Ahhhhhh! It's so refreshing to have a good tall drink of that classic I.I.!
Second, your first clue of the illegitimacy probably should have been the half dozen baggy pant wearing thugs that came out of the NAIL SALON!!!!! WTF???
Third, my nail technician *always* says "we're legit homey! quit messing with our money" /sarcasm font.
Good Grief.
Furthermore, someone must have a "google alert" set up for their legit business. Either that or they are regularly googling themselves. Perhaps a little paranoia?
I'm sure a nail business needs to be licensed. Does that outfit have the proper licensing?
Sure, let's close every business in North Minneapolis. Then we can knock down every interesting building and slap together some prefab crap. While you're at it you can build a twenty foot tall wall around your home or, better yet, move to the suburbs where you wouldn't have to deal with "thuggery."
Sorry about that rant, but sometimes I have to be honest with my neighbors in Jordan.
A lesson in lower expectations by Anon 5:37.
Scottie, you do realize that nail technicians, barbers and beauticians have to be licensed by the State Department of Health? This is for the good of the public, to insure that an operator practices proper sanitation. That is, if it really IS a nail salon. And no quibbling over what IS is.
I would love to see more and legitimate business in NOMI, but there are standards for businesses that provide personal services. The outside of this dump would be enough to have the Health Dept. yank any license it has.
HAHAHA the Captcha password I had to enter for my last comment was "mobstrws" HAHAHA
@ Scottie,
Dude, I can't believe YOU are going to bat for TMJ Nails? Explain yourself.
Hey man, you're really talkin' a hard line all sarcastic n' shit. By the way, we missed you and your S.O. at the Clean Sweep.
Oh yea, how's baby Geek Squad coming along?
Best regards,
Irving Inquisition
Shit, i'm all about anyone working getting their chance to make a dollar. I also don't want to see Norph! Headed to vinylsidingville like the burbs.
Can we expect an apology from Nomi Passenger for her racist baggy pants comment? I think the NAACP would think one is deserved. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/naacp-making-baggy-pants-bill-racial-issue
@ Scottie 8:32,
I noticed that there isn't a hyperlink associated with your name in that comment, unlike your first comment. Doing the imposter thing isn't cool.
@ Anon 8:36,
No Don Allen, I'm sure there won't be any apologies for a comment that has nothing to do with race. Go see a shrink so you can work through your inferiority complex.
Not sure if this got through the last two times, but it was indeed not me on the second post under my oh so generic name. I might change that soon.
My main quibble with your post was the idea that problem property = demolition. I'm a preservationist. The built environment is all we have once you strip a neighborhood of businesses.
I do agree that these properties should clean up their acts, but then what would you do the day of clean sweep (kidding)?
Sorry I missed the sweep, but I'll try to make up for it in the near future. Have you seen the reporting and aggregating I'm doing over at alleycat.mn? I have loads of audio recordings on the back burner. Will start releasing those next week.
Let's all respect each other.
How about Nails and Wings? You could kill two do-do birds with one empty Mountain Dew can.Get the nails done on your left hand while gettin' slapped wid' a chicken wing from the right...while wearing baggy pants if you want to. Google? Do you mean Barney Google? Great balls of fire i'm bodacious, Google? Nowadays, a goddamn facebook page is all it takes to be"legitimate"? I am glad as hell that my values are not being formed in the fake fucking world we live in these days. The bar is so alarmingly low these days that you would have to get up just to get under it. What? there, i said it for you and it doesn't make alot of sense so i guess i'm just a face in the melting mural of mangled mentality. All thin-skinned projectionists like to throw the race card around also and it is played with a deck of 51 so you will have to figure out a different way to play,like it or not. One- Adam-12...you're all IDIOTS. Just kidding! Good Evening and please remember to spay or neuter your bedbugs.
That Anonymous was NOT a person from TMJ Nails. That facebook page was made by a friend that wanted to help them out, over a year ago, and was shortly discontinued and has nothing to do with TMJ Nails professionally.
