Minnesota's capital city is hoping to have the luck of the Irish Monday during its St. Patrick's Day festivities.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade: Noon Monday. The parade starts in Rice Park in downtown St. Paul (Fifth and Market Streets) and ends near Mears Park (Fifth and Sibley Streets), traveling along Fifth Street.
The grocery chain released a statement Friday announcing it intends to shutter the location on March 26, citing staffing and financial challenges.
This is just the latest blow in a series of left hooks to downtown; Lunds and Byerlys is closing, many St. Paul Skyway stalls remain empty and thousands of feet of office space are vacant.
