Happy New Year, friends!
I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and you are greeting the new year with increased optimism and motivation. The holiday season was great for downtown Saint Paul with crowds piling in for a hit show at the Ordway (Beauty and the Beast was amazing!), watching a hot Wild hockey team (8-2-0 over the last 10), the Glow Festival at CHS Field (I brought my family down and we had a blast), all the activities at the Union Depot (larger-than-ever European Christmas Market, Polar Express, and Hub for the Holidays), and packed restaurants. Our evening traffic numbers look nearly as good as they ever have. We’ll ride that momentum into 2023 and we should all feel optimistic about the year ahead for our downtown.
I also want to extend the warmest of welcomes not only to each of the new legislators joining the Saint Paul delegation, but to all legislators from around the state who will call Saint Paul their part-time home during the session. Downtown's doors are always open, let us know if you need recommendations for where to grab lunch or happy hour.
Enjoy the weekend!
Joe
