Greater Eastside Neighborhood News and Events

The Greater East Side neighborhoods provide suburban comforts within minutes of downtown Saint Paul, the businesses along Phalen Corridor, 3-M headquarters, and employment and retail opportunities in the neighboring city of Maplewood. Most homes were built after World War II, in rambler and Cape Cod styles—some are located on curving streets and others face the Hillcrest Country Club’s golf course. Many families live in the neighborhood and are close to several different schools and recreational facilities.

White Bear Avenue is the “Main Street” of the neighborhood –with churches, schools, small shops, shopping centers, homes, restaurants and bars, nursing homes, libraries, medical offices, community centers and other services.

By Phyllis Louise Harris

The cold, rainy spring has held many local farmers back from bringing produce to the area farmers’ markets. But there is one market that is open rain, shine or snow. It is the Hmong Village at 1001 Johnson Boulevard in St. Paul.MORE »
