A note from the president Friends, A huge congratulations to the St. Paul Saints, who took home the American Association title last Saturday. And what better way to celebrate than with a three-minute parade . We're already counting down the days to next season. I am also incredibly proud to share some of the data from our Streets of Summer program that recently wrapped up. The results are really impressive and I think our Street Team and the placemaking work was a huge benefit to our downtown. Check out the details below. Finally, congrats to our most admired CEOs in downtown Saint Paul -- Jeanne Crain and Dr. Eric Jolly! See you all around (down)town, Joe Spencer President The Saint Paul Downtown Alliance
