Secrets of the City

Wahoo! I see Portland NOWHERE on that list!

It’s well deserved; I’d suggest that the Saint Paul Farmers Market is the best in the state.

Shouldn’t the St. Paul farmer’s market be listed in Minneapolis and not in one of its suburbs? People know Minneapolis, but St. Paul is confusing.

Without ever going there, The Rat gives St. Paul full credit as a killer place to buy vegetables.

Top notch, St. Paul! Top notch!

When he lived in Atlanta, he shopped here.

Obvious troll is obvious. 0/10

If you want over-priced non-local produce like bananas, go to the Mpls. farmer’s market. If you want the good, locally-produced stuff, the St. Paul market is the hands-down winner.

Well, Mankey, you waved your St. Paul victim status like a bloody shirt on another thread.

That’s well-trodden ground here.

If St. Paul can’t cut it on the national stage and ends up thought of as the other city in the Twin Cities, whose problem is that?

I think the Rat is over-analyzing. The Rat will think much clearer once he has his meds and a nice nap.

I’m just happy to know that Goochland, VA has a great mid-sized farmer’s market.

I’m spot on Chris. Top of my game, as always.

You mean to tell me St. Paul is NOT a Minneapolis suburb? Hold the presses!

Sorry…couldn’t resist with the pissy east-west rivalry going on here.

/Couldn’t care less which town has more cred.

//Mankey trolls all the discussion threads around here. He’s like a fungus.

“Votes: 430″

I just can’t believe they got everyone who went out in Saint Paul last month to vote.

I love my city.

Eastside!

I lived in St. Paul for a few years (Highland Park)…great town. But a few people there seem to have an inferiority complex about it. Like Ft. Worth, or maybe Milwaukee, you just have to be satisfied living in the shadow of the city’s bigger and better-known neighbor. In any case, you make the most of where you are or leave. No sense in whining about it.

(Sorry, a bit OT here.)

I used to say to Maz that he was being pretentious in his boasting about the unpretentiousness of St. Paul.

He said I was full of it.

Speaking of farmers markets, I found this great redesign your farmers’ market contest. Surely some of you super creative types can get something together by Sept 1:

I wish I had voted last week, but St. Paul still come up tops.

Esquared, I did see Portland on there, way at the bottom. Only votes or so.

I say that a victory for the STP Farmers market is a victory for the Twin Cities.

Enough of this stupid E/West sh*t.

@zac: Yeah, sure. If you can’t beat ‘em, ride on their coat tails.

went to the st paul farmer’s market this morning. i dunno, it was fine. got some rhubarb bread, assorted veggies. couldn’t find the beer tent.

I live in St Paul and most people who live here are satisfied with being here. I don’t really hear any “whining” about it.

It’s usually people who live in Minneapolis who feel the need to talk badly about St Paul, not the other way around. Most of those people haven’t even spent five minutes here, so what would they know? I just ignore them.

What passing by said….
Love the St. Paul Farmer’s Market. Thanks for just being you, St. Paul.
