Last year, Tom Friedman addressed Minnesota’s legislators in One Minnesota and he said that he had a book coming out after the election in which he mentions growing up in Minnesota. (One Minnesota is a day at the beginning of session when legislators gather to hear various speakers.) The book is Thank you For Being Late. In it, he talks about growing up in St. Louis Park, as did Senator Franken and the Cohen Brothers.
In today’s StarTribune, there is an article called “The star power of St. Louis Park” and the reporter goes into detail about St. Louis Park. It is a good article,
I recall being part of a team that audited their school district’s Community Education program decades ago and was impressed with the community at that time.
