Cicadas
Because nothing says “summer” quite like the sound of droning insects.
Dusty's Dagos and Liquor
The hidden neighborhood bar. Frendly bartenders, never crowded, and a great patio (which is, of course, essential for summer in the Midwest). And yes, politically incorrect sandwiches.
Tracking Numbers
They turn the already exciting act of online purchasing into a spectator sport.
Free T-Shirts
I love t-shirts, and I love free stuff. You do the math.
Candyland in Downtown St. Paul
Not only is it a great place to stop for treats after lunch, but for some reason they’re open until 10pm most nights — making Candyland one of your best options for downtown St. Paul nightlife as well.

St. Paul Classic Cookie Co.
The best treats the downtown St. Paul Skyway has to offer. Don’t let the name fool you, they also have excellent muffins in the morning!
Charles Mingus’ The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

Handing out the best eye candy on the interweb.
