The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment has landed. They’re in town from the UK to participate in the St Paul Chamber Orchestra’s International Chamber Orchestra Festival. The OAE’s project manager, Ceri Jones, is blogging about her experiences traveling to St Paul (how ya like the weather, Ceri?), and has had some fun nuggets to [...]
My friend Kyle was off fries for all of 2008, so come 2009 he decided he needed to do something significant to celebrate that milestone. (It should be noted that Kyle did lick a fry at Matt’s one night, and still ate tots.) This led to Fry-Day, which was originally scheduled for a Friday but [...]
One of the biggest problems I see with nationally run restaurant recommendations websites is, while they have a ton of listings, their recommendations tend to suck when you actually try to get local. I don’t care how many listings or traffic you have. All I’m looking for are good restaurant recommendations that will lead to [...]
I’ve had a chance to check out the Bulldog Lowertown St Paul three times so far. Here’s what I’ve learned. 1. It’s easy to get to. If you’re coming from Minneapolis, take I-94 East around downtown St Paul to the 7th Street exit. After exiting, you’ll be at 7th & Wall St. Go straight 1-block [...]
I didn’t make it to the opening night of the new Bulldog in the Lowertown neighborhood of St Paul but I’m sure it was sweet. I’ve written about the pending launch a few times, so have received a fair amount of search traffic from people looking for more information about the launch. Here is a [...]
I’ve noticed a major uptick in traffic to The Deets from people looking for the latest information on the status of The Bulldog’s new St Paul location. The one nugget I can throw out is the website for the St Paul location. They appear to have two reserved: www.thebulldogstpaul.com www.thebulldoglowertown.com Both currently sport a coming [...]
Apparently, the RNC Welcoming Committee received an unwelcomed visit from the police tonight, who don’t seem to think the RNC Welcoming Committee’s plans for the upcoming RNC convention are well thought out. Below is the publicly published first step of their strategy on how they plan to crash the upcoming RNC convention: How we get [...]

St Paul police officer Dean Koehnen explains what’s come out of this program at around 1:50 into the video. It sounds like it has done as much to bridge the gap between the work done by police and social workers as it does that day for the homeless people themselves. Another great story from 612 [...]
