A couple of weeks ago I wrote about City House, a newly renovated municipal grain terminal at the edge of the Mississippi River. The space is gorgeous, and is filled with both natural light and decades of history. If you haven’t already stopped in while running or biking the adjacent Mississippi River Trail, now is the time to check it out.

The St. Paul Riverfront Corporation is hosting a City House party tomorrow, from 5-7:30 p.m., with a brief presentation, along with food and a cash bar. Mayor Chris Coleman will be there, along with Ignacio San Martin, Professor of Architecture and Director of the University of Minnesota’s Metropolitan Design Center. There is a suggested donation of $25 per person, and RSVPs are requested to 651.293.6860.

Check out my previous posting on City House to learn more about it. To rent the space and have a killer view of the river, Harriett Island, and downtown St. Paul for a future event, visit www.stpaul.gov/parks or call 651.292.7010.
