Josiah's Arsenic test


Yes, it's crazy. The only urban EPA Superfund site in America is located in south Minneapolis. The majority is in my neighborhood: East Phillips. I moved here because the rent was the same as Stevens Square ( or slightly lower ) but the amenities were much higher. I do not see drug dealers or strippers on my block. No one asks me "Wanna get hiiiiigh?"

The biggest benefit has been for my son Josiah. There are more children here! There were none in on my block, or even the apartment building of 110+ units! The negative: arsenic in the soil. My home was tested and was low. This did not mean I was not worried. So I had Siah tested for free by the Minnesota Department of Health. I have posted their testing results on the left.
