Jason DeRusha's Tumblr

Hello Jason,

I can’t begin to express to you how offended I am by this article. Aside from the fact that I live in Blaine, your comparison of the quality of one city’s people to quality of another was unbelievably insulting. How dare you suggest that “someone from Blaine” doesn’t mix well socially with “someone from Edina”! What would make you even write something like that? From what I can gather, you live in Maple Grove. How would you feel if someone wrote an article such as this, using your town as the low-class half of this food comparison? My guess is that you probably wouldn’t like it very much either.

- From a reader comment on my review of Kona Grill in Minnesota Monthly, in which I said “In life, there are things that just don’t go together naturally. I mean, you can force someone from Edina to hang out with someone from Blaine”
