Summer in the City - Thursday night dance night in downtown Saint Paul








Every Thursday night throughout the summer the Ordway is sponsoring a street dance in downtown St Paul. Each week it is a different style of music presented live. I stopped by to check it out on a recent ride - will have to see if we can get a group out to enjoy an evening out near the Ordway. I arrived before the main event started but once it did people filled the street.
It reminded me of the night we ran across a group of young people dancing in a park in downtown Vilnius Lithuania in 2008.
Despite all the efforts of the Neighborhoods, City Council and Mayor to try to find ways to keep us from being able to enjoy the outdoors during the good "outdoor" months this wonderful event has some how slipped through the denial system. Enjoy it while you can.
