Check your calendar for
late January/early February and you’ll know it’s one of the best times to be a
Saint Paulite, especially if you call Lowertown home. Dozens of events and specials offer a much
needed respite from the doldrums that may set in, when the sun is out for about
5 minutes before and after work.
While we take pride in
many aspects of the Legendary Downtown Living experience, the thing we are most
proud of, are the amazing things happening within walking distance of the
Pioneer Endicott.
Open this post on your
phone and, while we cannot guarantee you’ll find a medallion, follow these
steps to a series of fantastic local events bookended by fabulous food, fun,
drinks and discounts!
Live Music, Parades, Games, Contests, Cocoa, Tours, Trains, Horses,
Hockey, Jazz and Jewelry… IT’S ALL HERE:
Your first step should be towards LANONA Shoe Co. for a pair of durable, comfortable and Lowertown fashionable water proof footwear.
