Summit University

The Summit University neighborhood is ethnically and economically diverse—home to new arrivals from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; the Rondo neighborhood which served as the center of Saint Paul’s African-American community until the construction of I-94 in the 1960s; and historic and upscale Ramsey/Cathedral Hill area.  Well preserved homes and buildings from the late 1800s abound in the neighborhood, with landmarks around every corner.  There are a number of retail areas in the district—Selby Avenue, with its shops, gathering spots, and destination dining is probably the most well-known.  The neighborhood is close to downtown, has great transit service and free-way access, and is very easy to walk and bike around

Central Corridor outreach: Good will, but do they have any power?

By Nathaniel Minor, TC Daily Planet
Lost parking spaces. Business survival during construction. Community cohesion. Residents and business owners along the University Avenue corridor have voiced these and other concerns about the upcoming central corridor light rail line to Shoua Lee, a Metropolitan Council community outreach coordinator, but some doubt she has the power to do anything about them.

THEATER | At the Chanhassen, "Footloose" is fun

By Rebecca Mitchell, TC Daily Planet

More than a decade since the musical originally opened on Broadway and over 25 years since the film it was based on was released, Footloose still resonates. The musical, currently playing at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, isn't an artistic breakthrough and it isn't the best show I expect to see all year, or even all month. It is, however, an energetic experience that's sure to meet audience expectations for a fun night out. And beyond the expected dance show, this staging offers an additional emotional punch, underscoring the various ways we deal with heartache and the ties that bind us.MORE »
