Really Really Free Market
Join us Saturday, June 5th for a free sale/market at the Whittier Community Center.
The Really Really Free Market is an experiment in community and giving, a window into an actual gift economy. Everything here is FREE: offer what you’d like to give and take what you would like to receive. Food, music, and conversation are as welcome as objects.
If you bring things, please be prepared to take them back if no comes who wants or needs them.

Ilhan Omar wins primary race
Our neighborhood voted strongly for her, as did most of Minneapolis at large. The great exceptions were southwest Minneapolis, Downtown, and a tiny part of Northeast Minneapolis.

Depending on the political leaning of the media you read she either struggled to win, won in a contested race, or handily beat opponents. All she has to do now is win in the main election and she’s off to another term on Congress, which is very possible as Whittier’s congressional district has voted Democrat.
