A Message from Jake Spano, Marketing Director for the City
of St. Paul

Saint Paul was named one of a Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Cities on the list of 12 demonstrated a commitment to historic preservation and fostered a “unique sense of place”.  Included in the naming is a competition to see who can get the most votes for #1 over the course of the next month. The winner gets a year long contract with a web based company that targets travelers interested in cultural and historic travel destinations which boosts business throughout our community.

Now, it’s not that we don’t like being one of a dozen cool places but let’s be honest, who wants to be 12 or eight or four when you can be #1?  Unless you are on a most wanted list in the post office, it’s the place to be.  It’s in that spirit that I’m asking you all to assist us in spreading the word about this competition.  You see, after 5 days of voting we are firmly in the middle of the pack which is led by Paducah, KY a town of about 30,000!

Now I like bluegrass more than most folks but I can’t let this go so please CLICK HERE to register, and you will be able to vote once a day, every day for a month.  Registering and voting takes about 2 minutes.  I’ve contacted several partners throughout the city and they are circulating it to their groups, we need your help as well.  We continue to include it in press releases, our Facebook postings, Twitter, and YouTube channel.  We’ve gotten coverage on Kare11, 5 Eyewitness News and Star Tribune.  Please post your home pages, social media, tattoo it on your forearm, and ask others to assist as well.

Come on 651! Vote St. Paul!
