ST. PAUL 2005: Downtown, August

St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota, had a population of 275,000 when I was born (1933). That's also it's current size, although the population climbed above 310,000 by 1950 and stayed there until 1970. I revisited some old haunts while in St. Paul for my 55th high school reunion.

The Old Federal Building opened in 1902. The US post office operated from here until the Kellogg Boulevard building was built in the 1930s.
