How sweet it is Candyland receives ‘Traditions’ award

study on the historical and archaeological significance of an 80-acre parcel that housed Boys Totem Town juvenile detention center before it closed in 2019 will be submitted to Ramsey County in the coming weeks. The county owns the property but has not yet determined its fate. The county will use the report to guide future planning efforts. The site overlooks an area by the Mississippi River and Pigs Eye Lake that prior to 1837 was the Mdewakanton Dakota’s Kaposia Village. Approximately 70 acres are undeveloped. The study is a collabortive effort of the Lower Phalen Creek Project, Boys Totem Town Land Preservation and 106 Group, a cultural resource consultation firm. It was funded through a $9,980 legacy grant awarded through the Minnesota Historical Society. Lower Phalen Creek Project was founded in 1997 as a partnership between residents of Lowertown and St. Paul’s East Side to work on environmental projects between Lake Phalen and the Mississippi River. Its efforts are directed by an 8-member board of directors and an advisory council of citizens representing the area. One of its most notable projects is the development of the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary near Lowertown. This year it hopes to complete fundraising efforts to build the Wakán Tipi community center in the sanctuary. Wakán Tipi means Dwelling Place of the Sacred in the Dakota language.

andyland, the iconic popcorn and candy store located at 435 Wabasha St., recently received the “Traditions” business award, an honor the St. Paul City Council bestows upon businesses that have thrived for 20 years or longer—a tenure Candyland exceeds by more than four times. The tiny store with its red awning with white lettering opened

on Wabasha Street in 1932 and over the past 88 years has been incessantly buffeted by the winds of change. A visitor’s first impression of the shop is one of lighthearted whimsy, thanks to the welcoming duo on the sidewalk in front: Lucy of the Peanuts comic strip fame—brandishing a caramel apple, a big lollipop and a satisfied smile—is alongside the irrepressible Snoopy, lying atop a candied gingerbread doghouse.

The need for a downtown community center continues to resurface year after year. What is CRC doing to help advance this effort? Our perspective is that this idea resurfaces regularly because there is a clear need for community spaces and social activities. A lot of downtown residents have expressed a sense of loss ever since the Passport center for seniors closed in 2016. A lot of people have also seen the YMCA as a community center, because they would go there to exercise and also to socialize. A small group of us met virtually with a YMCA administrator on Nov. 18 to talk about their potential plans for a downtown location. They are seeking state funding to help pay for construction costs (through bonding for capital Three questions / Page 6

New electronic vehicle network gets underway Tim Spitzack Editor

wners of electric vehicles (EVs) have good reason to be amped up. In the coming year they’ll have access to scores of new public charging stations across St. Paul and Minneapolis. Beginning this spring, the Twin Cities Electric Vehicle Mobility Network is building 70 charging hubs

across St. Paul and Minneapolis to accommodate and encourage greener transportation. Half will be located in downtown St. Paul and the surrounding neighborhoods: West Side, North End, Frogtown, Dayton’s Bluff and Payne-Phalen. Each station will feature four or five curbside chargers along public streets. Two will be for public use and two will be for a new

car-sharing service that is also being developed. The chargers being installed provide 25-30 miles of charge per hour. Some stations will have an additional Direct Current Fast Charger that provides 250 miles of charge per hour. While the fee to charge a vehicle has not yet been set, the Network plans to keep costs low and charge just enough to cover electricity

use and maintenance costs. Users will likely be able to pay at the hub or through an app. The hubs will begin to open for use this summer and construction of others will continue throughout the year. All hubs will be open by the end of 2022.

EV car-sharing HOURCAR, a local nonprofit that already offers a traditional car-sharing

service, will add a one-way EV service, and a two-way service that will include charging hubs at 25 apartment complexes around the metro, particularly those with low-income residents. The 150 EV car-share fleet will begin with 50 vehicles this summer and be at full strength by the end of 2022. The one-way service allows users to pick up and return a vehicle anywhere within the

service area. The two-way service requires bringing the vehicle back to the station from which it was rented. That service is expected to begin late this year or early 2022. Both methods require an annual membership with HOURCAR, and an additional per minute usage fee, and you must be at least age 18 to join. HOURCAR’s EV network / Page 2

current model has different plans but its most popular one is $65 annually and includes user fees by the quarter hour. Pricing for each EV plan has not yet been determined but will likely be near the current rates of approximately $10/hour. The Network is led by the City of St. Paul, in partnership with the City of Minneapolis, Xcel Energy, HOURCAR, and East Metro Strong. It received a $6.7 million grant from the U.S Department of Energy

to support the project, and Xcel Energy will provide up to $4 million of electrical infrastructure. The Network will promote the stations through its partnership with 10 local organizations whose job it is to share information about the benefits of electric vehicles and car-sharing, and to identify obstacles people may face while using this service.

According to the Electronic Vehicle Institute, the U.S. had more than 1.3 million electronic vehicles on the road in 2019, accounting for 2.6% of new car sales. The Tesla Model 3 was by far the top seller, besting the second place Chevrolet Volt by 38%. Rounding out the top five were Tesla Model S, Nissan LEAF, and Toyota Prius Prime. These five models accounted for nearly 60% of total EV sales. According to the Twin Cities Electric Vehicle Mobility Network, EVs have 62% fewer emissions than gas-powered vehicles.

Candyland from page 1

During a recent visit to the store, the shop was bustling with activity. Owners Doug and Brenda Lamb and staff were hustling nonstop and efficiently side-stepping around each other behind the counter where the shop’s popcorn and gourmet confections are made. It gave the appearance of controlled chaos. “The holidays are absolutely our busiest time of the year,” said Brenda, who paused in mid-scurry to chat for a few minutes in front of the glassed-in candy cases. The store’s shelves and counters were jam-packed with every kind of candy imaginable, from gourmet chocolates to a rainbow of vintage candy in all different colors, shapes and sizes, as well as gaily colored holiday tins for the popcorn and confections. But enticing scents are not the only thing in the air at Candyland; the old store is redolent of history, too. According to Susan Barbieri’s “Candyland in the Twin Cities,” a little gem of a book chock full of Candyland lore and St. Paul history, available at the store, founder A.L. Mace opened the store in 1932 while America was in the deathgrip of the Great Depression. He named it “Flavo Korn” but never worked at the store himself. Apparently, he was too busy with other less savory activities. Barbieri says heFOR was likely MR.

Ma Barker Gang. In 1938, Mace sold the store to Arnie Kelsey then went on the lam, never to be heard from again. Kelsey was an industrious man and began building the business as America climbed out of the economic abyss. He renamed it as Candyland in the ’40s and capitalized on its location in the center of the city’s entertainment district. In the ’30s and ’40s, 7th Street and Wabasha was the beating heart of downtown St. Paul, due in large part to the string of glittering movie houses that graced the district: the Orpheum, the Paramount, the Strand, the World Theaters and the Riviera. Streetcars ran through the neighborhood, spilling people out at 7th and Wabasha for a movie, then lining up to take them home at midnight after the shows. Perfectly situated near the movie houses, Candyland sold popcorn, candy, nuts and cigarettes to moviegoers in an era when theaters offered few concessions. The business flourished until World War II, when the strict rationing of sugar took a deep toll on the business. It was popcorn that kept the shop afloat during those harrowing times and allowed it to ease back into prosperity after the war ended. As popularity of the

downtown “Loop” grew, young hot-rodders began coming downtown to show off their cars—and make lightning-fast stops at the shop for popcorn. By the late ’70s, trends changed, and theaters and shops began a mass exodus to the suburbs, drastically reducing downtown traffic and shuttering many longtime businesses. The awkward reconfiguration of streets (especially 7th Street), the failure of business centers such as Town Square and 7th Place, and the development of the skyway system all contributed to downtown fading from its glory days. By the 1980s, Candyland’s neighbors consisted mostly of adult book stores, X-rated theaters, and dive bars like Hello Dolly. As redevelopment of downtown buildings into condos and apartments brought a huge influx of urban dwellers back to the city over the last three decades, the neighborhood’s seediest days have faded into the mists of memory. Candyland has been a witness to many changes in fortune for downtown St. Paul, and itself has stood the test of time. As a beloved local institution for nearly 90 years, a visit to Candyland today is a wholesome family

experience. The Children’s Museum is just a few steps away and a whole new generation of children are discovering the sweet magic of the shop, often guided there by grandparents, or even great grandparents who also loved the store as children. “It’s a generational store,” said Lamb. “We don’t change the things that people have always loved…we just add to it.” Doug and Brenda Lamb began working in the shop under owner Arnie Kelsey while in high school. They bought the business from him in 1981 and it has been a family affair ever since. They typically have about 60 employees, which include their four children, Doug’s siblings, and various other family and friends. Their kids grew up to the sounds of the industrial strength popcorn popper, and the delectable sights and scents of the candy shop, and once they were tall enough to see over the counter began waiting on customers. Today, sons Brandon and Jordan manage the Stillwater store, sister-in-law Julie Stewart runs the Minneapolis store, and Doug and Brenda work primarily at the St. Paul store. However, they float between

the locations as needed to troubleshoot problems and keep the equipment—some of which is original—in tiptop shape. Everything at the store has a delightfully old-fashioned appeal, particularly the gourmet treats handcrafted right in front of the customers. The Lamb family’s work ethic ensures that Candyland continues to deliver for its vast clientele, while providing its storied customer service. “We’re grandfathered-in luckily, with our hot air popper and its open flame heat,” said Brenda. “There’s nothing like it. It’s the best. The big popcorn bin is original, too, from the 1930s.” The Lambs have had their fair share of challenges, namely a major recession and now a pandemic that has forced them to cut their workforce nearly in half. “We’re still getting some walk-in traffic, but so many downtown workers are working from home now, naturally the foot traffic is way down,” said Lamb. “The enormous lunch crowd we used to get, that’s pretty much disappeared.” The Lambs have three locations: the original one in

St. Paul, one in Minneapolis, and one in Stillwater. They had five at one point, including a store at the Mall of America. They permanently closed their 8th Street location in Minneapolis this fall due to decreasing walk-in traffic, exacerbated in part by the violence in the streets following the death of George Floyd in May. Additionally, the Minneapolis store on 7th Street closed temporarily in late November after a staff member tested positive for COVID. It remained closed until early December, when all staff were tested and found to be virus-free. Fortunately, Candyland’s loyal customers continue to support them, both inperson and by visiting their robust website. “Our online business is up anywhere from 300 to 400% over last year,” said Lamb. “We’re getting new corporate business from companies ordering from Candyland to send treats to virtual meeting participants.” For the Lambs, it’s just another chapter in the long history of this St. Paul institution. And they look forward to continuing the tradition. For more information, visit https://candylandstore.com.

School Choice Guide

This primer will help you understand the differences among them so you can select the best school for your child.

tion options and if there are additional fees for field trips or supplies.

Charter schools Private groups can get a charter to operate a school that uses alternative teaching methods and innovative curriculum. These schools typically have a smaller student population and a lower student-teacher ratio. They are required by law to have open admission and recruit from all segments of the community. If the school does not meet academic performance requirements, the charter is revoked and the school is closed. Parents should inquire about the teaching methodology used, how academic progress is measured, if there are any special enrollment requirements or fees, and if the site is the school’s permanent location.

Public schools

Understanding your options when choosing a school

Public schools are funded through taxes and are operated by local school districts and a board of education. Each student is guaranteed enrollment and is assigned a school near where they live. Bussing is free for those outside of walking distance. Minnesota has open enrollment, which allows families to apply to any school. Families that apply to a school not assigned to them are responsible for their own transportation. When selecting a public school, families may want to consider class sizes, student-teacher ratios, academic progress and extracurricular activities.

Parochial schools Parochial schools are operated by a church or religious organization and have a curriculum that includes religious instruction. Class sizes and student-teacher ratio are usually small but tuition can be high. Parents should ask about tuition, scholarships, transportation, religious requirements or expectations, and if there are any additional expenses for uniforms or supplies.

Magnet schools A magnet school is part of the public school system but has curriculum focus that is used in all classes, such as environmental or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Families should ask about the school’s focus, transporta-

Postscript

Lower expectations

very year, a chorus of folks urges us to lower our expectations for the holidays—buy less, consume less, worry less about having a picture-perfect holiday, and spend more time reflecting on what the holiday means to us. This year, it seems, we finally get a chance to do that. I was recently asked about my childhood holiday memories, and I had a couple of vivid ones. I saw my very young self sitting on the wooden stairway of the farmhouse where my mother grew up. There were far too many people to sit at a table—too many to sit at all, even after all the folding chairs were called into service and the couch was filled to capacity. Seating was distributed on a strict seniority basis. All my cousins and I were lined up on the stairs leading to the second floor, one above the other with our plates on our laps. This was a fine arrangement, except that the farmhouse

had only one bathroom and this stairway led to it. The stairway was narrow and some of my relatives were not, so we would lean over as far as we could (plates still on our laps) so the elderly

relatives could make their way to the facilities at the top of the stairs. That’s one good memory. Here’s another. The year I turned five, I had chicken pox at Christmas. I spoke to my mother recently about that year. “Oh! That was a miserable Christmas,” she said. And I’m sure, for her, it was. But my memory is not of festivities missed. My mother stayed home with me on Christmas Eve and all I remember is the small Christmas tree my parents put in my bedroom. My memory is not of being terribly sick, but of seeing those shining Christmas lights every time I opened my eyes, and feeling loved and special enough to have my very own tree. I’ve been telling my hus-

We won’t have memories of a foreign landscape or a breathtaking performance or a fancy gathering. Instead, we’ll remember the excitement of hearing the doorbell ring and getting to chat with a neighbor on our front stoop. Our memories from this year will be of the same

homecooked meal, the same routine, the same clothes worn, the same neighbors greeted from across the lawn, the same dogs on my walk— as the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. We will remember. I might miss the excitement of a different kind of life but I know I will remember the small, good things in this year of lower expectations. Till next time.

investment). We have also had several conversations in 2019 and 2020 with John Rupp, who owns the St. Paul Athletic Club. CRC wrote a letter of support for his concept to convert the club to a community center, which would include job training programs where people could gain work experience in the hotel, fitness center and banquet facilities, and other nonprofits could offer public events like discussions about current events and similar activities that would be open to the public. I’m sure the pandemic has made it difficult for that project to move forward. There are some things we can do—and are doing—to help influence those specific projects. For example, our Development Review Committee and board of directors have recommended support for many projects to convert office buildings to residential, and for many other projects that would create new businesses and would likely attract more residents and visitors to downtown.

That’s important because the more residents, workers and visitors we have, the more feasible it becomes to invest in other amenities, such as parks, which also serve as community centers in many ways. Fortunately, there are lots of free or relatively inexpensive places to attend events and have some social interaction, although, again, the pandemic makes that difficult or impossible right now. I would encourage downtown residents to look for events at Central Library, The M, and Landmark Center, and other arts and cultural institutions. It doesn’t seem likely that the City will ever be able to build and maintain a facility like the Rec Centers in other neighborhoods, so our best strategy is to find ways to utilize the community spaces that we have already—including parks—and to keep communicating with other organizations like the YMCA and with developers like John Rupp so that we are seen as a good, collaborative partner

organization. Overall, CRC believes it is time for St. Paul to develop a plan for a downtown community center. Although public/private partnerships may enhance the vision and spread the capital and operating funding requirements, City commitment and resources will still be needed. CRC will continue to work with our city council member to explore how best to start and accelerate the right processes with the City to get something done. Skyway access and safety are a point of concern for many downtown residents. What is one recommendation from the Skyway Governance Advisory Committee that CRC would like to see implemented this year? Most of the committee’s recommendations recently have been related to COVID-19 emergency hours, through engagement with businesses and building owners. Bill Hanley, committee chair, has participated in regular check-ins with leadership from BOMA, the St. Paul Downtown Alliance, and the mayor’s of-

fice to improve the response to the committee’s recommendations as they relate to these emergency orders. The committee recommended adjusted skyway hours for the duration of the city’s executive orders on pandemic restrictions. In May, the committee passed a recommendation to temporarily suspend enforcement of signage codes in the skyway in an attempt to support our small business community. In the coming recovery time, we will need to continue to consider these kinds of efforts and more to help our neighborhood businesses through this catastrophic time. The committee also recommended that the City implement administrative citations as a better tool for adequate enforcement of the skyway code. That’s probably the one that is most needed. We have received a lot of complaints about buildings that have violated the hours of operation, either by locking skyway doors earlier than the hours of operation without seeking a variance, or for keeping a section of the skyway closed during construction past the agreed-upon date to reopen. Citations are the only way the City can address those incidents. The City is going through that process with two building owners, but it seems like these situations could have been handled years ago with administrative citations. Making this change will require changing the City Charter. CRC and the St. Paul Downtown Alliance are working with University of Minnesota faculty and students on a “wayfinding”

project through the Resilient Communities Project. There are currently two groups of students working on this from different perspectives. Neither one strictly focuses on the skyways, but one is identifying barriers to wayfinding, which includes things like regulations for signage throughout Downtown. The other group is focused more on developing a wayfinding system for Downtown, which has involved making observations and developing specific recommendations to improve the experience of exploring and navigating downtown. We are able to work on this thanks to a Cultural STAR grant from the City. We also were invited to submit ideas for Code Switch 2020: National Day of Civic Hacking, so we suggested creating a mobile app for the St. Paul skyway system. There are some people working on this, so I’m hoping that very soon it will be easier for people to quickly get directions anywhere in downtown, whether you are inside the skyways or outside on the streets. More than one-third of the respondents to the Downtown Parks survey this spring want to see the former indoor park at Town Square revived for community use. Has CRC seen any movement on this, or will it champion the effort this year? John Rupp has also helped us understand the history of that space and related challenges. We toured the space in February, and his idea for the Athletic Club could also involve acquiring and utilizing the Town Square site.

The St. Paul Port Authority might consider investing in repairing the roof at the site but as long as it’s privately owned there isn’t much we can do to work toward a solution. We’ve been discussing the public restroom situation in our Public Realm Committee meetings, which also ranked high on the parks survey. This issue intersects with the issue of unsheltered people in a complicated and sensitive way, and has been exacerbated this year by the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than some temporary porta potties at some light rail stations, the primary public restrooms downtown are at the Central Library and Union Depot, and both have been much less accessible this summer. Other restrooms that often get labelled as public are actually low-barrier private restrooms (maintained by businesses). Increased wayfinding is a common answer to discussions of public bathrooms, but recommendations for signage labeling these “private” restrooms as public will be potentially problematic. We’ve also reached out to the Dayton’s Bluff Community Council regarding the improvement plans for Lower Landing Park (ranked second on the parks survey), which borders each district and provides an opportunity for collaboration. We’re excited at the opportunity to collaborate with another council in planning. However, at present, most of the efforts at Lower Landing have been working with the mayor’s office to bolster the efforts supporting the unsheltered community there.

INCOME TAXES. DIETING. At least we can make one of these easier.
