hook and ladder

A couple of weekends ago, I was at the Magnuson Park off-leash area, and a huge hook and ladder rig appeared and drove down a narrow alleyway full of parked cars on both sides.

The hook and ladder resulted in a touchdown.

“Prices have gone up significantly,” John Mohlenhoff, secretary of the hook and ladder company for the Huntington fire department, told the newspaper.

The Professor charged up and down the green aisles like a stout Teutonic knight, with a pole for a lance, leading on the boys, who made a hook and ladder company of themselves, and performed wonders in the way of ground and lofty tumbling.

The Hook and Ladder, a popular venue in south Minneapolis, survived through donations and streaming local bands’ performances.
