One of the things I’ve been meaning to write about here for a while is the Northeast Audio Walking Tour Workshop, which I have been participating in for several weeks. It’s a diverse group of 25 Northeasters, and the goal is produce three different audio tours of Northeast Minneapolis.

The group I’m working with is mainly covering the Bottineau Neighborhood, and one of the stops on that tour is Jax Cafe. Jax has been in the Kozlak family since 1910, and is quite a fixture here in NE. Their website has a decent amount of historical information, including a menu from bygone days that features $1.75 sirloin steak and a healthy selection of booze — I’m intrigued by the “Zombie (???)” under “Fancy Drinks.”

So here’s where you come in. I’m hoping to get a few folks who have encountered the Jax Cafe patio to recount their experiences on tape. This would be a pretty minimal time commitment, and part of your interview would hopefully end up on the audio tour — which will be available in NE libraries and as a podcast in August.
