Blank Walls of Saint Paul #1

Given current momentums, the blank walls will continue to spread, even in the most exemplary of cities. Such as Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is the blank-wall capital of the United States. You would not expect it to be. It is a most habitable, attractive, and friendly city; it has one of the most resourceful and effective mayors in the country; its Lowertown redevelopment is of an eminently human scale and has a fine street presence.

  3. This simpy downtown wall treatment is what DT Mpls gets blamed for. Saint Paul has many urban attributes but the downtown core is the hole in the donut. Maybe the city should rename those streets after references in T.S. Eliot's "Wasteland."
