Two New Guide Booklets Now Available!

The first is the long-awaited guide to Overlooked Parks of Saint Paul. Included within this 28-page booklet are a map, two essays involving notions of nature, historic information about Saint Paul's park development in particular, rumors, hazy photos, quotations or hearsay, atmospheric speculation, daydream transcriptions, and historical trivia about five (5) lesser known parks within the western reaches of Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Featured parks: Hampden Park, Newell Park, Iris Park / Union Park, Merriam Park, and Desnoyer Park.

It's based on a tour I did waaaaaay back in 2014 as part of the short-lived Pedalopolis efforts.

The second booklet is a guide to Noteworthy Dive Bars of Inner Northeast Minneapolis, the companion to the Noteworthy Dive bars of Outer Northeast Minneapolis. In this one, you will a map, an essay on karaoke, guidelines for dive bars, rumors, hazy photos, quotations or hearsay, atmospheric speculation, daydream transcriptions, and historical trivia about five (5) dive bars that line the edge of the historic dive district of Northeast Minneapolis.

This is based on the walking tour from May 2016 that ended in someone giving me a "buck" on a bike rack all the way from the Vegas to Jimmy's.

I am mailing these all out pronto, and I hope you like them.
