Goda Café: A Restaurant To Suit Everyone’s Eating Pleasures

I have seen the rotation of many businesses come and go on the corner of 34^th and Nicollet Avenue South in Minneapolis over the past few years. Most have closed their doors within a year.

In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater has been putting on May Parade and Celebration for over thirty years. This year In the Heart of Beast needs the people of Minneapolis to help this long time community organization put on this year’s May events. They need people that are willing to be in the parade and in the ceremony. Unlike other years this year they need your financial assistance. In the Heart of the Beast has to pay the Minneapolis Park Board for rental of Powderhorn Park which cost a lot of money. The real rub is that this year In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater has not received enough monetary contributions to be able to continue the May Traditional Events.

Listen to "Let's Talk Race" First Podcast. It gives a quick rundown of what is being reported on the events that occurred on Friday May 10th, 2013 that lead up to a suspect killed as two police officers were shot. I give my editorial on the situation as it is not new as to how some MPD handle the rounding up of a black suspect. Unfortunately, Friday's situation ended horribly exposing the process of what has stayed silent for so long.

If mainstream media does not want to let residents of Minneapolis know what is going on then maybe our readers can help fill in the blanks. Please share any info you may have.
