The Witches: Prospect Park, The Witch’s Hat & Sandwich Wars

<p>This week, we spin a tall (and mostly true) tale about one of Minneapolis’ quirkiest and most beloved neighborhoods: Prospect Park—a place born from a whispering hill, a lost organist, and a water tower with a taste for the stars. It’s the kind of story that feels like a dream and smells faintly of river fog and optimism. Think Vonnegut, but with more zoning questions.</p>

<p>We explore how Prospect Park came to be (and nearly floated away), why its streets curl like old-timey mustaches, and what it means to build a neighborhood on eccentricity, hope, and light rail proximity.</p>

<p>Oh—and because we’re professionals—we conduct a hard-hitting sandwich showdown between two Twin Cities icons: 🥖 Lu’s legendary Banh Mi vs 🐖 The Iron Ranger’s molten hot Porchetta. One is crispy, punchy, and herb-forward. The other is a meaty fever dream. Only one can reign supreme.</p>

<p>Come for the history, stay for the sandwiches, and maybe you’ll hear the faint echo of an organ on Tower Hill… 🔔 Like, subscribe, and tell your neighbor who still calls it “Southeast” to tune in.</p>
