Today, the leaders of the city of St. Paul are scheduled to consider whether a house at 676 Wells St., whose oldest section was built on our nation's centennial year, should be wiped from the landscape. I wrote about this conflict last month. The city says it's merely trying to protect the owner, Arjo Adams, from safety hazards. Adams, an artist, handyman and urban scavenger, said city inspectors are on a vendetta against him. His attorney failed to persuade a legislative hearing officer to give him more time to get the house up to code, so now it's up to the City Council to decide whether to destroy a property over the objections of its owner and the neighbors. The council meeting begins at 3:30 p.m. I'll let you know what happens.
