Greetings!

It's like gold, the month of September. We're spending it raising your voice to increase the share of attention and interest in the East Side. Gubernatorial forum coming up on the 18th. Min wage conversations between now and then, and a survey from Lower Phalen Creek Project on restoring a free flowing creek - daylighting it's called. Spending time by moving water decreases your stress. So does Lunch Bunch. There is no corresponding scientific data, but what we can say is joining together when you formerly felt alone increases your hope. And hope turns stress into energy for action. Join up and find a place you belong. Beside moving water, under a September sky, should we be so lucky.
Thursday Sept 13, Anytime 11am-1pm
Celebrate the 1 year Anniversary of East Side Lunch Bunch!

Sometimes you just need to reconnect with the best. Mañana has you covered and we'll meet you in their new digs for informal networking - sit down and grab lunch with your ESABA colleagues. The only agenda is the one you bring. Eat, Meet, and Repeat. Click Here to RSVP
The stream banks would be restored and stabilized, and public access amenities are also possible. For example, small wading pools could be created, like a smaller version of the one at Minnehaha Falls park. There are many other possibilities as well. Please take the survey(s) and share your ideas! Take the Survey Here
Urban Roots will be hosting a 'Honey Harvest' wood-fired pizza night! This will be a picnic-style dinner at our urban farm and demonstration site on the bluff in East Saint Paul.  Read More...
