Ode to St. Paul

Filed under: Books

It's fair to say that St. Paul is often overlooked by those that dwell in Minneapolis. Though there have been some efforts to "freshen up" Lowertown, for example, those that wander around downtown St. Paul during the weekend or after 5 may be disappointed to find businesses closed for the day, empty skyscrapers, and nary a resident in sight. Yet St. Paul does have one thing that Minneapolis doesn't have. For the past two years, St. Paul has had its very own almanac.

Now in its third year, the 2009 St. Paul Almanac is in search of submissions from residents, or anyone who digs the city on the east side of the river in general. So, if you have something to say about St. Paul, now's your chance. Suggestions listed on the official site include stories on local businesses (still running or long gone), funny things you might have experienced at St. Paul festivities like the Winter Carnival, the MN State Fair, or Taste of Minnesota, your experience in St. Paul as an immigrant, or a little poem on birding around various parks. Have a St. Paul-based rant or rave? Now's your chance to get it out there without the aid of a blog. The almanac people are open to format busters as well; poems, song lyrics, creative writing, and even graphic fiction submissions are all welcome.

Intrigued? Got a story? Check out there website herehttp://www.saintpaulalmanac.com/submissions.shtml for rules and information on how to submit.
