Steven and Laurel Clift Family Introduction
Hello, our family landed in Ericsson about four years ago during our hunt for
our first home. It still feels like we've discovered the secret neighborhood in
what seems like a conceptual Bermuda Triangle in people's understanding of
place in Minneapolis. We live in a 1911 across from the front of St. Helena's
school (32nd Ave and 44th St). If you see us out on our open porch, gardening
or talking to our neighbor Dale reading on a lawn chair outside his garage this
spring or summer say hello.
Laurel and I have two children - a son who turned two in November and a
daughter who is just six months. You might see us with our red double stroller
at Lake Hiawatha as it gets warmer. We are always looking for playdates in the
area. :-)
Laurel works downtown at Ameriprise Financial doing process improvement and is
a frequent light rail user. I work out our home for E-Democracy.Org, the
non-profit that I helped start in 1994. For about a decade I was a
speaker/consultant in 27 countries helping governments use the Internet to
engage people as citizens online.
Laurel's favorite thing about our neighborhood is our small town feel. The
chains are safely across Hiawatha and we have the unique bakeries, auto shops,
and personalities that come along with the small shops. I agree.
