If artist Jeff Lohaus has his way, northeast Minneapolis will receive its defining symbol, courtesy of Lohaus’s artistry, towering over the corner of Central and Lowry avenues: a giant pierogi on a fork. The neighborhood’s Eastern European heritage, of course, is increasingly historical; newer residents hailing from Asia and Latin America may be hard-pressed to recognize the dumpling’s significance. What do you think? Put it up, or stick a fork in it?
