Friends,

This week the team at Visit Saint Paul published the 2023 Insider's Guide. I'd encourage everyone to take a look. It's amazing how easy it can be to take for granted or forget about all of the amazing people, places and stories right here in Saint Paul. The theme of this year's guide is Local/Global and it is full of inspiration for how to feel like a tourist in your own backyard.

During a conversation we had earlier this week, Public Works Director Sean Kershaw asked me to remind folks that while their team is working hard to fill them, they could still use your help reporting potholes as you encounter them. The easiest way to do so is to email potholes@stpaul.gov with location details. You can also call 651-266-9700 to submit information.

Keep reading for some additional announcements from the City this week including the new plans for Pedro Park and information on creating more outdoor dining opportunities, as well as details on how to check out “The Revolutionists” which opens this weekend at Park Square Theatre.

Have a great weekend.

-Joe

p.s. Go Wild! Good luck against Vegas this week!

With site demolition imminent, new Pedro Park design unveiled

As demolition crews prepare to make room for downtown Saint Paul's long-awaited Pedro Park, a final park design has come together on paper. A landscape architect with Saint Paul Parks and Recreation announced on Monday the department has completed the design process for the updated Pedro Park plan and published the final graphics for the long-term vision.
