In Minneapolis' Hawthorne neighborhood, hope still stands
The Rev. Floyd Beecham Sr. folds his 6-foot-plus frame into the passenger seat of a subcompact for a tour of Hawthorne — a neighborhood that, on paper, is the worst in Minneapolis. Beecham doesn't quite see it that way. He's ministered in the neighborhood for decades. He and his wife are founders of Hawthorne's Faith Tabernacle Gospel Fellowship.

'Nice girls don't go in the Army': Vet recalls her service
'Nice girls don't go in the Army': Vet recalls her service Ruth Knox in her Minneapolis home. She enlisted on July 5, 1944. Ruth Knox can joke about it now. But she had the opposite reaction to one of her first military assignments during World War II. It was kitchen patrol, a miserable task. "I sat on the floor and cried," she recalled with a laugh.
