Happy Thanksgiving friends!
This is my very favorite holiday of the year, and an opportunity to reflect in gratitude on my life and my community. Let me start by offering my thanks to you, dear reader. You are the best part of my beloved hometown – you create downtown Saint Paul’s personality; your business brings jobs; your theaters bring visitors; your restaurants bring diners; and your vision and volunteerism bring an optimism about our shared future. Thank you for the opportunity to play a role with you in strengthening this district. This is the greatest place in the world and I’m grateful to all of you.
There are a couple things to shine a light on this week (in spite of it being a holiday week), not the least of which is the exciting new development proposed for the Riverfront Properties on Kellogg Blvd. Also, as folks are thinking about their holiday shopping and special outings, make sure you check out the opportunities to
celebrate

Restaurant gift certificates and theater tickets make great gifts for the people you love.
See you all around (down)town,
Joe Spencer
President
The Saint Paul Downtown Alliance
