First – the radical left’s annual Iraq invasion anniversary march drew a record-low turnout.<\/p>\n

Then – eternal dyspeptic Mark Gisleson shuts down Norwegianity.<\/p>\n

And now – the Jack Pine Community Center<\/a>\u00a0is calling it quits:<\/p>\n

Twin Cities radicals and activists will lose one of their most beloved meeting grounds when the Jack Pine Community Center closes its doors<\/a> this week. Citing a lack of “sufficient energy to make the Jack Pine financially feasible,” the group has decided against renewing the lease<\/a> to its East Lake Street location.<\/p>\n

Opened in April 2006, the Jack Pine<\/a> sought to provide “a child-friendly and sober radical space” and resource center…The space also hosted organizing and networking events for individuals planning to protest at the upcoming Republican National Convention in St. Paul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I figured it’d be something more like “their landlord evicted them for damaging the place”.\u00a0 I’m actually almost gratified to see the owner blame “lack of activist energy”.<\/p>\n

The last full day of operation for the Jack Pine will be Friday, March 21, with a closing party<\/a> to be held on Saturday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Count on a commemoration on the NARN this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
