Silenced Majority Portal: Honk For Christ and for Lucky

I was shopping today with Miriam in St Paul. We drove and, as usual, we passed a bunch of signs about guns and divorce as we approached the freeway ramp at Dale and I94 on the return trip to our home in Minneapolis. Today, however, was different. There was a black man sitting beside the signs and he was waving to cars as they passed. I stopped to talk with him for a few minutes. His name is Lucky Rosenbloom. Lucky didn't want his picture taken.

Lucky told me that he now runs his Dad's business and is responsbile for those signs by the roadside. He also told me that the fellow holding the sign that says "Honk for Christ" is of his late father. His father was St. Paul icon Jack "Tiger" Rosenbloom, who for fifty years sold candy, firewood, and various other items from his tiny store front at the corner of Dale Street and St. Anthony Ave. Tiger Jack died in 2001. He said his dad always was on that corner holding his sign and that everyone in the neighborhood knew him. He said he got the image of his dad from the state historical society. So if you are ever in St Paul, stop by and honk for Christ and get yourself a cheap divorce and a gun while you are at it.
