The wonderful Minneapolis poet Dobby Gibson has discovered a
mysterioussilver star on First Avenue’s legendarily star-spangled facade, and posted a photo of it on his Facebook. Conrad! Who is/are he/they?YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
- Tell me who Conrad is. Wikipedia doesn’t know. There’s all sorts of things I don’t know about Minneapolis, though, despite stomping around all the time and loudly pretending that there isn’t. So there must be a story behind Conrad’s place on the wall. Like the editor says at the beginning of Citizen Kane: it’s probably a very simple thing.
UPDATE: It turns out, like, everyone knows who Conrad is (read the comments for some excellent descriptions of who Conrad is, or read this or this). What a jerk I am! I had better just go ahead and relinquish my Minneapolis citizenship for the day.
