Okay, you freaked me out with this post. When I grew up in Duluth, our first house was in the hillside neighborhoods. Later we moved to a place near Lester Park, which was still working class but a little nicer. Some of those neighborhoods around...is it Lake St?...are pretty seedy indeed. I have to say, though, I totally think you hit on something I had never considered - Hutch an art major!!! Him bragging about college, the art in his place. Man, you got me thinking!


And I swear I almost started shaking when you showed what the poster was in his room. Yeah, maybe not meant to be significant, but in so many ways it is! Hutch has a history with prostitutes for one, and of course there are the slash images. I feel like you have opened an entirely new door to me!
