Been there many times. This was in an old house that had been converted. Main floor was stage, dance floor, tables. Upstairs was a bar. I just went through a list of clubs in Mpls/St. Paul and while that was a nice trip down memory lane, nothing rang a bell about this place. Probably not even there now, since it was in a family neighborhood.

I lived in St. Paul for 15 years. For a city, it was a nice place to live. I worked at the Ordway ticket office for a year and got to see some incredible shows. Plus it was right next to that gorgeous library. Then I got a job with an arts organization in the Landmark Center. That was really a wonderful time of my life. We had some incredible DU meetups back then. But then I lost my husband to cancer and I couldn't bear to stay there any longer. So, I went back to small town living in '06.
