Friends,
As we each continue to navigate our days with a combination of in-person meetings and video calls, I have been enjoying the increasing levels of vitality in downtown. Today we got to enjoy a wonderful Securian event, Together Again, celebrating the opportunity to work together with our teammates. We have been rolling out musicians and food trucks on Tuesdays at Landmark Plaza (with new tables and chairs too); the 370 Sets happy hour concerts return today on Osborn Plaza; Farmers Markets are coming to Securian on Wednesdays and returning to 7th Place next week; and of course Lowertown Sounds continues to bring us live, local music on Thursday evenings – these are truly the best summer days in downtown.
This last week, Emma and I shot some videos to promote several new businesses in downtown. It was great to spend some time with the entrepreneurs that very recently invested in our community and are playing a huge part in what makes downtown special. Watch for those to roll out soon.
And as we gather more and more with each other in our downtown spaces, this week's story about the City’s increased investments in public safety is an important reminder of the need to ensure that all of Saint Paul feels safe and inviting to everyone. We are grateful for these additional efforts and look forward to seeing them roll out.
And finally: Go Saints! Go Loons!
Joe
