In the second image the church in the background looks really cool. I assumed it had been eliminated by I-94, but I looked it up and Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church is still there. They don't have much history on their website though.

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

For what it's worth I'm glad you're part of our city government and I think you do a very good job! You also deserve credit for changing your opinions when you receive new information.

It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

No, Sustain Saint Paul is a nonprofit but is organized as a 501c4, so contributions are not tax deductible.

If you care about urbanism in Saint Paul, be sure to follow Sustain Saint Paul, & come to our fundraiser next week! Your contribution will help us develop abundant housing, low carbon transportation, and a stronger tax base. (And more importantly, BEAT MINNEAPOLIS!!)

Sustain Saint Paul @sustainstpaul.bsky.social · 28d

Had a great time tabling at the 9th Annual Ward 2 Picnic hosted by Rebecca Noecker. Talked to many people about what they want to see in a sustainable city and a thriving downtown Saint Paul. Let's build it together!
