Fall is upon us with a snap and with it comes this c larifying light but also wait for it... 'brisker' temps. For those of you holding on to summer we give you a couple of last blasts to look forward to in the coming weeks like papaya salad. For those of you rushing ahead into fall we give you steaming bowls of pho. You guessed it, find the best of the transition from summer to fall at our October Lunch Bunch at Hmong Village.   

October Monthly Member Meeting extends our trends from summer as well - on the Road! We'll be at HealthPartners new Neuroscience Center learning about the Neighborhood STAR program and your aspirations for capital improvements to your business, plus 50 Favorites for the East Side and a sneak peek at a Fall gem to look forward to - our annual Pub Crawl. Save the date for Thursday November 16 this year. With special guests stars TBA.

Looking forward, there are many things to be excited about. Looking back there are many things to be thankful for. Find our recap of Mayoral Forum and Harvest Fest Parade below. Thanks to all ESABA members who gave feedback for our mayoral questions and who marched with us in the parade - Including Juan Cervantes and his 1965 MG. You all looked great!

Here's to the best of looking forward and back,

Mayors at Metro
Last Friday Metropolitan State University held a mayoral forum with six candidates for St. Paul's top job. A good turnout of students and community members were on hand as the forum featured questions about Higher Education and East Side community development specifically. Two of the five questions we developed from member feedback were addressed. Candidates dug into
  • their own plans for supporting the East Side business community and
  • how they would promote the East Side and raise awareness about all the positive aspects that we have here.

See our full list of questions for the candidates and some quotes of what each of the candidates said here.
