Payne Phalen Neighborhood News and Events

Just minutes from downtown St. Paul, Payne Avenue and Arcade Streets, create parallel north/south backbones of the Payne Phalen neighborhood. Residents and visitors are drawn to the neighborhood’s rich architectural history, unique destination businesses, old world charm and the sparkling waters of Lake Phalen. Whatever your tastes: hot coffee and homemade pie, tamales, egg rolls, pizza or chow mein, you’ll find a global menu in local shops and restaurants. Strong schools, green parkways, and a spirited, energetic, committed and diverse community make Payne Phalen a vibrant neighborhood.

MONDAY PICK | National Waiter/Waitress Day with Candacy Taylor

By Morgan Halaska, TC Daily Planet

Working in the service industry, more often than not, comes with negative connotations and presumptions of class rank. That's no thanks to the media; take, for example, the movie Waitress starring Keri Russell or blog-turned-book Waiter Rant. In her book (a hybrid of photography and interviews) Counter Culture: The American Coffee Shop Waitress, Candacy Taylor refutes the stereotype of the age 50+ women waiting on tables in roadside diners, and helped Taylor to, "redefine my perspective on life, work, and happiness." On Monday, May 21, the final installment of this year's Friends of the St. Paul Public Library's "Untold Stories" labor history series will feature Taylor and her work on this project. Incidentally, the multi-media lecture is taking place on National Waiter/Waitress Day.

St. Paul students get down and dirty in Big Urban Woods

By Alleen Brown, TC Daily Planet

A neighborhood, three schools, a county and the DNR turned a forgotten patch of trees into an outdoor classroom and a community space.

That little patch of woods and all the things in it mean something different, depending on who you talk to and when. To passersby, the four-acre site is just one of those patches of trees you find all over the metro area — barely even woods at all.MORE »
