St. Paul resident. Generally, be specific.
Fred's reporting has earned him a spot on my ark, which is currently floating down Grand Avenue, headed toward the downtown.
There’s plenty of dead pockets downtown. 7th Place is not one of them. Between the new Pub at Palace, the Palace Theatre, the “new” Pino’s, Candyland and Afro Deli moving just across the street, plus the smaller farmer’s market, this corner is doing OK (minus the jazz club)!…

MELVIN CARTER VS HER?: State Rep. Kaohly Her has been making the rounds, asking lawmakers and others: Would you endorse my campaign for mayor, or at least remain neutral? Filings open Tuesday. Election Nov. 4. twincities.com/2025/07/25/is-…
What went wrong with Minnesota's "groundbreaking" Housing Stabilization Services program? I looked into the original vision, when and how problems emerged and what's next for a state program investigators say has been the target of "massive" fraud. startribune.com/what-went-wron…
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.
The problem with PILOT for Saint Paul is that the non-profits can simply say no thank you. If they give one year they can stop the next. PILOT is not something to expect as a reliable funding source. If we can get a little bit, OK. But let's focus on righting the ship without it.
The definition of "walkable neighborhood" is getting ridiculously narrow.
It not POSSIBLE to build a “Walkable Neighborhood” that does not have at least one good school Without a school it’s not a “neighborhood.”It’s too demographically limited. It’s like Epcot. Or a college campus. Not a real place. And it’s also not “walkable” if every family has…

I'll be up there visiting an outfitter in a couple weeks and I hope everyone is safe and as dry as possible.
Lots of flash flooding in Ely and other areas of northern and central MN today. Preview of possible coming attractions around MSP and southern MN this afternoon and evening. Tropical downpours with dew points in the 70s! #mnwx
