We’re neighbors! I live on the same side of Hanson, up on Osage and 113th. I’m at the Caribou by Mobile right now!

There actually is a pretty progressive element to the Coon Rapids population. Morgan, with the sign, lives in town too, I think. The local, based in Coon Rapids Vote No operation facility over by the American Legion post between Northdale and the RR tracks was always well staffed by large numbers of people. Maybe you were one of them? (in which case you may have met my daughter who spend hours there.)

There are more people in CR that voted No than you think Greg 😀

“Who is paying you?”
“What would your mother think”
“Do you have a wood stove. That’s where your sign belongs.”
“Faggot! Why don’t you play in the street?”
“Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“You look like an ass.”
“Stop the hate! Stop the hate!”
“What can we do to make you go away?”
“Do you believe in the Bible?”
Other misc:
“I’m Lutheran. I will pray for your forgiveness.”
Called a faggot, fag, queer, homo 30 times.
Flipped off 300 times.
Thumbs up and honks ~10,000 times.

Thanks, Morgan!!
