What's Behind the Green Door? - Marshall, MN

What's Behind the Green Door?

"What's behind the green door?" This question has plagued me the entire time I've lived in Marshall, MN. I'm sure I drove my friends crazy because I would point it out every time we drove past but I really wanted to know.

I'd walk past it to get from the college to get downtown and I never had the courage to get up close to it. It's pretty freaky looking.

Since I'm moving at the end of the month I figured I better get some pictures of it or nobody will believe me when I tell them about it.

Also, this place is apparently for sale. I know I could call and ask about it but that seems weird.

Everything is completely boarded up with plywood. You couldn't get inside even if you want to. Mainly because that green door isn't even actually a door.

It's a piece of plywood with a doorknob on it.

P.S. I've tried searching for it online but all I get is a porn from the '70's.

So if you for some reason know something about this or find this post when you're trying to look it up yourself let me know. I'm partly posting this just so there is some record of it on the internet.

Anime Club - A Cultural Experience

I am the secretary of the Mustang Anime Otaku (Southwest Minnesota State University’s anime club). Our anime club is pretty awesome. We have an office and everything. Up until now the office hasn’t been used for anything more than storing the anime. This weekend the officers and a few other club members decided to renovate it.

The office is now a fully functional hang out spot. A member loaned us their mini fridge and microwave and we bought a desk lamp, a coffee maker, a blizzard maker, and a mini projector that allows us to watch anime on the unused white board hanging on the wall.

Anyway, through this club I’ve discovered that anime club is more than just a bunch of college students sitting around watching cartoons. It’s a hobby, an activity, and a culture of its own. I’ve learned a lot about the club members, their personalities, their likes and dislikes.

I'm only really a partial anime fan. There are series I like and ones I don't. I like funny girly shows. I'm not much for the violence and giant robots. But some of my male friends really like those ones. It's a compromise, especially when it comes to what anime to purchase for the club. We've been having quite the discussion about that. It'll get worked out, and the library will expand once again.

I love the anime club I'm a part of. It's been slowly growing since I started at this college. I think that's really awesome. The posters I’ve put up as advertising have helped a lot. We’ve been working on getting the word out in other ways as well. Anime club is a great way to relax and its fun making fun of the shows we watch.
