I want to start by thanking our friends at Visit Saint Paul for pointing out this
Chicago Tribune piece
naming Saint Paul as the top place to visit in the Midwest. Don’t wait to have guests in town to revisit some of these great places in our fair city – get out there! In downtown specifically, I want to congratulate Julie Bauch for shepherding one of Saint Paul’s great buildings into a new era – more news on that below. I’ll also wish a happy birthday to our Mayor (and SPDA co-chair) Melvin Carter! Finally, I want to offer a warm welcome back to all the legislators who arrive in Saint Paul this week for the start of of the 2019 session – as the capital city, we are happy to be your temporary home for the next several months!
See you all around (down)town,
Joe Spencer
President
The Saint Paul Downtown Alliance
