Cruzin' in North St. Paul

photos by Linda Baumeister/Review

The North St. Paul History Cruze draws a crowd weekly to downtown on Friday nights.

Savor the scene


From its beginnings in the 1990s as a
feature of a summer celebration, with
only a handful of cars on display, the
History Cruze Car show has become a
summer tradition in North St. Paul,
and helped to put the town on the
map for a whole new generation.
Back in 1994, then-Mac's Dinette
owner John Pontrelli told a Review
reporter that he'd come up with a
new idea for the city's "Crazy Days"
celebration: a classic car show.
The clincher: he wasn't just
envisioning a once-a-summer event;
Pontrelli wanted to see it as a weekly,
seasonal draw. Thanks to the zeal
of car enthusiasts, both owners and
spectators, he predicted a time when
East Seventh Avenue would be filled with
gleaming cars and giddy spectators on a
regular basis all summer. Boosters would
organize it, and folks would travel from
all over to see it.
"Hold it, and they will come," was
Pontrelli's philosophy.
2

And they did. North St. Paul's Fridaynight car show, cruising toward its silver
anniversary, regularly packs out all the
"show" parking spots along main streets

and adjacent lots, and families come from


all over to stroll the main drag.
The show can attract anywhere from 700
vehicles to, on a balmy night, 1,800.
Along the way, the History Cruze group
organized into a nonprofit and added
even more to the show: food, beverage,

collectibles and crafts vendors, a rotating


list of bands and special events from
police K-9 demonstrations to visits from
the Vikings cheerleaders.
The success of a huge weekly car
show in the middle of the city didn't
come without some growing pains.
Neighbors complained about noise
and the loss of street parking, and
the city council has limited the hours
the show can operate and charges for
police presence. But the cars, from
elderly 1900s models to, now, mid'70s "classics," keep rolling in.
And so do the people, from the
guys who remember hot-rodding
their dad's old Model Ts to tots just
the right height to see their reflections in those shiny hubcaps.
The car show is held Friday nights from
June through mid-September.

Taking in nature

photos by Linda Baumeister/Review

Spring, fall, summer or winter, the Fish Creek property offers a nature getaway and gorgeous views.

Maplewood boasts a new, yet ages-old, attraction. Over


the last decades, the city, Ramsey County and the
Ramsey-Washington District Watershed have worked
to secure undeveloped land along Fish Creek to help
complete a greenway from Carver Lake in Woodbury to
the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
The county owns 142 acres, and the city's effort
culminated in its purchase of 70 acres in December,
2013.
By getting contiguous properties -- through a long
process of fundraising planners have preserved not
only wildlife corridors but a variety of typical Minnesota
environments: oak woodland, grassy bluffs, wetlands and
the creek itself, which grows from a trickle to the flow
that has etched out small "canyons" in rock at its St. Paul
end.
Eventual plans are for paved trails, rustic trails and
scenic overlooks that will bring people in but keep the
area a natural site. Birders find migratory birds and
nesting warblers in the woodlands, wild turkeys and
hawks patrolling the fields and woodpeckers working
on trees in the area. Annual wildflower walks introduce
people to woodland and prairie flowers as well as routes
through the property. And for those who think they have
4

to drive for hours to get "out of the city," the peaceful


setting is a welcome oasis.
Maplewood's portion of the site offers onstreet parking
in the area near the bluff view over the Mississippi valley,
on Carver Avenue and Henry Lane. Visitors are asked to
remember regular city park policies, such as keeping dogs
on leash.
Ramsey County's portion is accessible from Point
Douglas Road off Carver Avenue Park. Hikers can
follow the creek and adjoining trails as it winds under
Point Douglas Road.

up since then. At center, in the grove of trees, is the Bruentrup farm.

continued from page 5

Wisconsin, says Pete Boulay of the Maplewood Area


Historical Society.
Many locals initially opposed the mall's construction, Boulay says, fearing the rural area around White
Bear Avenue would become commercialized. As
anyone who drives down White Bear Avenue today
can see, that's what happened.
What was once a quiet rural area is now a thriving
commercial district.
"People are always quick to point out that Maplewood
Mall is no Rosedale Mall," Boulay says. "Well it
never was. In reality, the Maplewood Mall became a
bigger thing with an active and evolving commercial
area around it."
"Evolving" meant, for the Bruentrup farm, moving
the home, barn and outbuildings to County Road
D. Their former site now houses Michaels and Half
Price Books.

The plan: continued change


In its 40 years, the mall has seen former anchors
like Woolworths and Walgreens come and go. Baskin
Robbins and Sbarro (with its two-for-a-quarter video
arcade) once packed people in, while other stores
such as Sears, Claire's and Spencer's Gifts have withstood the test of time.
The yellow and orange dcor of the 1970s was
replaced with white plaster and palm trees during the
1988 renovation. That renovation expanded the mall
to 718,000 square feet, adding 40 new stores, and
moved the food court to the west wing.
Now, at 926,000 square feet with more than 130
stores, the mall has a long-term, big-vision plan that
began in 2002 when it was purchased by the Simon
Property Group.
Major renovations from 2011 to 2012 included,
outside, reconstructed entrances and additional landscaping, while interior changes included a redesigned

Silver Lake Park


19th Avenue and Lake Avenue
Tucked away in a cozy spot on
the area where North St. Paul was
first established, Silver Lake Park
provides a great escape for a summer day or a winter afternoon.
With a beach watched over by
lifeguards, playground equipment
for the children's entertainment
and other outdoor fun, Silver Lake
Park is the perfect place to relax
on a summer day. There are also
tennis courts, picnic areas, and a
fishing pier. In the winter months,
ice fishing shacks dot the lake
and the North St. Paul Lions Club
hosts its annual fishing contest
there.

Casey Lake Park


17th Avenue (between
McKnight & White Bear Ave.)
Situated on the corner of Casey
Lake, the 33-acre Casey Lake Park
is the largest in North St. Paul.
The park sports a hockey rink,

walking trails, picnic tables and
grills and a park building and
open-air shelter (which are available for rent for events). The park
also has swing sets and two playgrounds for older kids, and the new

Not to be outdone, the glass Marjorie
McNeely Conservatory provides a quiet,
reflective area for visitors to relax and
enjoy an astonishing variety of plant life
... and reclaim some of their body heat
in the winter. For more information visit
www.comozooconservatory.org.
After touring the zoo, check out the
Como Town Amusement Park and the
new Como Regional Park outdoor pool.

With a tradition of covering local communities, Lillie Suburban Newspapers is


a valued partner in the Oakdale and Lake
Elmo area.
Award-winning writers and photographers
cover everything from local government,
crime & courts and school news to
features on students, leaders and all the
talented, energetic people who keep local
communities vibrant.
Prep sports are covered in detail and
outstanding student volunteers, performers and achievers are a particular focus.
Thats why local businesses and
national chains, too find the Reviews
a perfect place to reach customers where
they live.
"Nobody fulfills the community niche
like the Review newspapers do"
advertising director Tony Fragnito says.
"And with a readership audited in the
high 80th percentile, we know our advertisers' messages are getting through."
Lillie Suburban Newspapers will be
here for the long term, co-publishers
Jeffery Enright and Ted H. Lillie add.
The pair are the third generation in a

The

family business that began in 1938.


"Our reporters, advertising representatives
and managers are familiar faces in our
communities," Enright notes. "People
from the newspaper are involved in civic
activities year-round, from business
associations to development-planning
groups, and are doing everything from
moderating political debates to helping
build floats."
Another benefit: the variety of services
the newspaper offers, Enright notes.
"We have a full-fledged print shop and
can produce booklets, flyers, inserts, post
cards, door hangers, calendars, raffle
tickets, newsletters, brochures, envelopes,
letterhead, invitations, business cards and
more," he explains.
The company recently installed new
digital equipment to increase its fourcolor sheet fed printing capabilities and
increase its color capacity and quality.
That means that from nonprofits fundraising flyers to high schools own
newspapers, local people find all the
resources they need to get their message
out at Lillie Suburban Newspapers.
