This blog thread posted by the Irving Inquisition uses some explicit language, as well as depicting some aspects of life in North Minneapolis that some readers may find objectionable. Reader discretion is advised.
River of Ilion
Remember last week when it was hotter than Hades? One of those days it was 100+ out with brutal humidity. I was walking up Irving past Glengale Park and what do I see? A river of water pooling at the end of the park from a river of water flowing downhill from Illion.

| WTF? |
Naturally curious we—that’s me and the dog now—walked up the hill on Ilion. The flowing water gradually got wider and quicker.
 |
| Those rapids are just about kayak ready. |
Ah but of course! An annual tradition here in the ghetto; when it gets too damn hot the fire hydrants must be opened. Of course the waste is incredible and I’m sure it’s illegal, but when has that ever stopped the darling angels of Dawgsville—North Minneapolis—from doing what they want.

| Big D cooling off NoMi style. |

| Public water works at it's finest. |
As for the fire hydrant, I don’t particularly give a shit if it’s illegal or not. Let’s file that one under “Not My Problem”, a file folder that’s getting really big. If I had the time I would have gone back and joined my neighbor, Big D, in the water party. Good times.
