For one thing, they are all very cool. This is an awesome list of items.
But even more than that, they are all made on Saint Clair Avenue, an otherwise unremarkable commercial mixed-use street in Saint Paul, Minnesota!
It's kind of hard to believe that Saint Clair Avenue is peppered by manufacturing, but it's true. Next Thursday, I'll be leading a bike ride from one end of Saint Clair to the other, stopping at eight (8) signifiant spots where things are made, and sharing a brief history of these hidden factories.
The ride will begin at Regina's Fine Candies, where you are welcome to purchase and consume at chocolate, and end at Bad Weather Brewing, which is not technically on Saint Clair but is close enough for jazz, and where they absolutely do manufacture another fine product that you are welcome to consume.
Along the way, we'll be biking a straight line down the avenue and stopping at a few noteworthy establishments to admire and learn about them.
See you there! Regina's closes at 6pm, so get be on time if you want a delicious treat.
