Greetings!

Wednesday, Anchor Paper Company celebrates 95 years on the East Side - Congratulations! Wednesday, Visit Saint Paul hosts their Annual meeting and we celebrate one year as a neighborhood partner. Move MN Open House on Wednesday shows off their new digs. And Sustainable To Go Packaging will be considered at City Council - on Wednesday. Here's an idea we'd like to test - buying in bulk - especially if small businesses could join the state-wide buying contract that counties use. Worth kicking that idea around? Chime in. If you're a food vendor and want to be considered for the new soccer stadium, get over to this meeting - yes, on Wednesday.

Don't miss:
