Longtime #Dinkytown shop owner Greg Ketter is the 70yo you may have seen in a TV interview speaking his mind and walking away into a gas cloud. The September 1985 Southeast (Minneapolis) neighborhood newspaper noted his shop's move from above Gray's Drug to a street level entrance around the corner.

Brief news item: DreamHaven changes location. Specializes in science fiction fantasy books, comic books, art and t-shirts. According to owner Greg Ketter, DreamHaven supplies the only Bloom County books and t-shirts in the Twin Cities area.

The Marshall student apartment building in Dinkytown stands on the site of Marshall High School (later Marshall-University High School) which closed in 1982. It became a small business incubator bldg (you could share a fax!) before being razed for housing (can't find a pic w/the big MARSHALL sign)

Marshall-University High School, three story brick building with windows and trees

University Technology Center ... same building, new sign, windows are new too

The Marshall apartment building with a small Target store on the first floor. It's six stories and pretty massive (has multiple wings running down the block)
