avid Downey, president of the International Downtown Association, recently gave a presentation to the St. Paul Downtown Alliance on how St. Paul’s downtown compares to that of eight other cities of similar size in terms of residential population, workforce, housing and commercial space, and other factors. The cities were Austin, Tex., Birmingham, Ala., Cleveland, Ohio, Fort Lauderdale and Tampa Bay, Fla., and Norfolk and Richmond, Va. Minneapolis was also included despite its higher population. The study, which was completed in 2021 and used sources dating to 2002, revealed that downtown St. Paul has low vacancy rates for residential and commercial buildings, the highest retail occupancy rate, and the highest number of creative jobs. Additionally, it said downtown St. Paul appears poised for growth. Key results are:

This is higher than the study peers. • Downtown ranked fourth in level St. Paul study / Page 3

ajor projects are underway to make libraries in the St. Paul Voice readership area more inviting and user friendly. At the George Latimer Central Library, public art by local artist Miko Simmons will be installed in June at the Innovation Lab, located on the third floor. This display is part of the final phase of a $125,000 remodeling project that began in 2019. The project included renovating the lab to include a soundproof recording studio pod, media lab with new equipment, a 3D printer and laser engraver, new furniture and more. An unveiling celebration is planned for June 15. The Innovation Lab offers resources for artists, small business owners and hobbyists. The project was funded by the Knight Foundation and the Todd and Martha Nicholson Family Foundation. The library is working with Minneapolis-based MSR Design on a plan to redesign the Nicholson Commons on the second floor to make the space more welcoming and comfortable. The plan is expected to be completed by June 1. Updates will take place in phases over time and a timeline is yet to be determined. The project is funded annually by the Richard and Nancy Nicholson Endowment. Celebrate Juneteenth 11:30 a.m.4 p.m., Saturday, June 11 at George Latimer Central Library, 90 W.

Downtown’s indie bookseller reaches milestone Jake Spitzack Staff Writer

O

nce upon a time readers could find their favorite titles at several independent bookstores scattered across the Twin Cities. That’s not the case any longer as many independent booksellers have disappeared due to stiff competition from corporate giants such as Barnes & Noble and

Amazon. Yet, Sue Zumberge has bucked the trend. Her store, SubText Books at 6 W. 5th St., is celebrating its 10th anniversary in June and continues to innovate and adapt to the times. “Boy it feels great,” said Zumberge, who previously owned two other bookstores. “I was over with my other two stores at five years, so to make it to 10 really feels like an accomplishment. I have a

strong belief in independent bookstores as being a place where the community meets and has an active role. We love being part of the downtown community.” Zumberge holds no ill will toward Barnes & Noble. In fact, she credits the company with keeping book publishers solvent, which allows independent bookstores to exist. “We sort of coexist with Barnes & Noble now against

Amazon,” she said. Like other businesses, SubText had to change during the COVID-19 pandemic. To adapt, it developed a new online sales system, offered curbside pick-up, and began hosting virtual events where authors read their work and receive feedback from the audience. “I love in-store events but I also love sitting in my pajamas with a glass of wine

watching an author in New York City talk about their new book,” Zumberge said. “That just made the events so available that we’ve been having people watching from all over the country. We will most likely continue virtual events.” However, she added that she looks forward to bringing events back into the store, such as open mic nights for authors and poets. SubText is a full-service

bookstore that takes special orders for any title not in stock. This was particularly useful during the pandemic when parents requested textbooks for their children attending the nearby Academic Visual Arts and Academic Performing Arts High Schools. “Any bookstore grows to reflect the community – or it SubText/ Page 2

That’s how a good bookstore reflects their community and that’s how we’ve grown with it.” Zumberge has a small yet dedicated staff. She employs three, including store manager Matt Kelliher. The plan is to ease ownership to Kelliher in the future, though Zumberge has no plans to retire anytime soon. When The Twin Cities’ that day comes, however, she will include a clause in Best Tribute the purchase agreement that Concerts allows her to, “come in and Pamela Helmer McNeill sell books whenever I dang Aretha • John Prine well please.” “It was a great move on The Daisy Dillman Band my part to hire younger Great Female Artists from the 1960s The Fabulous Armadillos Emmylou Harris Gladys Knight from page 1 and many more! exhibits from several local Proof of COVID-19 vaccination African American artists, or negative test required. food trucks, a story stroll and more.

people,” said Zumberge. “I have friends my age who own bookstores and they run it themselves because it’s a labor of love but then they have to go through the process of finding someone to sell it to.” Zumberge, a native of Hopkins, has degrees in history and English from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee. Shortly after graduating, she moved to Montana and purchased her first bookstore with a friend. Ten years later she moved back to Minnesota and worked at Odegard Books in St. Paul for five years. After it closed in 1993, she took a 10-year hiatus from bookselling. When she returned, she landed a job as manager for Common Good Books, located in the Cathedral Hill neighbor-

hood and owned by Garrison Keillor. Common Good Books eventually relocated near Macalester College and Keillor sold it in early 2019. In 2012, Zumberge decided

it was time to own her own business again. She opened Subtext Books in the former Common Good Books space and moved to the store’s current location in 2015. Sub-

been upgraded in more than 30 years. Working with LSE Architects, the library presented the redesign options to the public in late April. One includes the addition of a new staircase and ramp to the main entry, 1,850 square-feet per level to be used as community rooms and teen spaces, new

gender-inclusive restrooms, major mechanical upgrades and outdoor program space. The other option includes moving the main entry to a 200-square-foot addition with a new elevator and staircase, repurposing the old entry to become a raised plaza, adding 1,750 square-feet at the main level

for use as a community room, and expanding the teens’ and children’s area. This option also includes gender-inclusive restrooms, mechanical upgrades and outdoor program space. After a design is selected, the library will seek further community feedback and begin the schematic design.

{ THE FULLER FILES } The City of St. Paul is planning to reopen the former firehouse at 296 W. 7th for use once again as a fire station. The property had been vacant for more than a decade before the City rented it to Freedom House, a day shelter for homeless people. The City ended its lease with Freedom House after nearby businesses complained about the behavior of some of the people using the services there.

Buhl Investors plans to remove vacant warehouses near Harriet Island to make way for a 221-unit marketrate apartment building at 150 Water St. and 56-70 affordable apartments at 115 Plato Blvd. The new housing project will be called Farwell Yards. The Trust for Public Land recently ranked St. Paul’s parks second best in the nation out of the 100 most populous cities. Washington D.C. received top billing. The ranking is based on park spending per capita and the percentage of city residents who live within a 10-minute walk of a park. St. Paul invests $247 per resident and 99% of its residents have easy access to a park. Ramsey Country has expanded the hours of operations for county parks, which are now open 5 a.m.-11 p.m. Previously, many parks were open a half hour before sunrise until a half hour after sunset. The change applies to nine county parks and 11

regional parks. Visitors who break park rules are subject to an administrative fine.

The department will create a process for landlords to apply for hardship exemptions and appeal negative decisions. Building permits for mixed-use or multifamily apartments decreased by 80% in the past year. Permits were issued for 1,393 housing units from December 2020-March 2021 but only 231 from December 2021-March 2022. Minnesota Multi
