Joe Ives recently founded his new company Ives Home Inspection LLC. He started the company after purchasing his home in the Cleveland neighborhood and found many unwanted and unneeded interior and exterior “surprises.” Through these surprises he underwent extensive research and training to prevent future problems in his home, and aims to help others find and prevent problems in the homes they live in or may buy. He does a thorough interior and exterior inspection of the home, as well as mold and radon testing. He specializes in Northside homes, primarily because this is where he was also raised. Info: 763-291-2512 joe@iveshomeinspection.com.

Orneary Rogers, owner of Real Cooks Kitchen Soul Food Restaurant in Crystal, is raising funds to take good eats to Northside streets via The Soul Food Truck on Kickstarter! Real Cooks Kitchen is seeking support in an effort to bring good eats to North Minneapolis streets by way of RCK’s Soul Food Truck. The truck is a 28’ freightliner commercial kitchen equipped to produce the same high quality food provided at their restaurant but at a lower price, making it accessible and affordable to Northsiders. RCK’s Soul Food truck will travel to many Twin Cities’ areas, but will primarily be stationed at 2010 Fremont Ave. N. It will provide North Minneapolis with cuisine, culture and community.
