Each week, I share some great things to do in this great town. We have some great ways to connect with our neighbors and friends and what it means to be in Saint Paul. They are suggestions. It is great if you can do some of them, but sometimes life is just too busy. But there is one thing I really urge you to do if you live in Saint Paul on Tuesday. VOTE!

Last Friday the rain slowly crept its way into our autumn. Even though the street sweepers have made their rounds, out my front window the sign telling us not to park there is stuck in a ground littered with even more leaves than when it was first staked. Rain is knocking leaves from the trees faster than the turning calendar. That means it is time to get out and see the town before the season turns.

How many more Saint Paul authors will win literary prizes this year? Two weeks ago, we were talking about Julie Schumacher winning the Thurber Prize for American humor. Last week, Macalester College professor Marlon James won the Man Booker Prize.

There is no rest for the wonderful. The fall has been busy and maybe you think you need a break, but when you realize that Saint Paul is not sleepy enough, you might be willing to miss some rest yourself. The ball of culture keeps rolling this week with a ton of happenings in Saint Paul.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. (Did I already tell you that?) I have heard whisperings that I am not the only one who enjoys the season. A few of the leaves have begun their turn, and we have been blessed with sun shining through the crisp air. The festivals are winding down but not completely, and a lot of performance seasons are starting up.

Yogi Berra passed away last week. An amazing baseball player of unlikely physical stature and appearance, he proved his athleticism as the greatest of Yankee catchers and in the history of baseball.

This autumn, we are urging you to share your own words through the Saint Paul Sidewalk Poetry Contest. We are really asking your to use your words, or at least 250 of them, to create a piece of art to be installed on sidewalks around the city.

I had the most amazing experience in the Fine Arts building at the Minnesota State Fair last Monday--an experience that might be the biggest clue as to why I come to you with this blog each week. There, a piece of art captivated me with its complexity and multi-layered visual expressions.

It’s time to clean up at the state fair and send the last of Minnesota’s students back to school. There is still a lot going on in Saint Paul amid the detritus of the Great Minnesota Get-Together, even as we return from the holiday with that on-a-stick hangover ringing in our ears. Just as the fair is a great local tradition, this week we will be living one of ours.

The Great Minnesota Get-Together is still happening, and there are still seats available for that ride. There is a lot to see there. There is a lot to see everywhere else in town, too. I have a little sample.
