Cruzin' in North St. PaulThe North St. Paul History Cruze draws a crowd weekly to downtown on Friday nights.

photos by Linda Baumeister/Review

From its beginnings in the 1990s as a

feature of a summer celebration, with

only a handful of cars on display, the

History Cruze Car show has become asummer tradition in North St. Paul,

and helped to put the town on the

map for a whole new generation.

Back in 1994, then-Mac's Dinette

owner John Pontrelli told a Review

reporter that he'd come up with a

new idea for the city's "Crazy Days"

celebration: a classic car show.The clincher: he wasn't just

envisioning a once-a-summer event;

Pontrelli wanted to see it as a weekly,

seasonal draw. Thanks to the zeal

of car enthusiasts, both owners and

spectators, he predicted a time when

East Seventh Avenue would be filled with

gleaming cars and giddy spectators on a

regular basis all summer. Boosters would

organize it, and folks would travel from

all over to see it.

"Hold it, and they will come," wasPontrelli's philosophy.

And they did. North St. Paul's Friday-

night car show, cruising toward its silver

anniversary, regularly packs out all the

"show" parking spots along main streets

and adjacent lots, and families come from

all over to stroll the main drag.

The show can attract anywhere from 700

vehicles to, on a balmy night, 1,800.

Along the way, the History Cruze group

organized into a nonprofit and addedeven more to the show: food, beverage,

collectibles and crafts vendors, a rotatin

list of bands and special events from

police K-9 demonstrations to visits from

the Vikings cheerleaders.The success of a huge weekly ca

show in the middle of the city didn

come without some growing pains

Neighbors complained about nois

and the loss of street parking, an

the city council has limited the hour

the show can operate and charges fo

police presence. But the cars, fromelderly 1900s models to, now, mid

'70s "classics," keep rolling in.

And so do the people, from th

guys who remember hot-rodding

their dad's old Model Ts to tots jus

the right height to see their reflec

tions in those shiny hubcaps.

The car show is held Friday nights from

June through mid-September.

Maplewood boasts a new, yet ages-old, attraction. Overthe last decades, the city, Ramsey County and the

Ramsey-Washington District Watershed have worked

to secure undeveloped land along Fish Creek to help

complete a greenway from Carver Lake in Woodbury to

the Mississippi River in St. Paul.

The county owns 142 acres, and the city's effort

culminated in its purchase of 70 acres in December,

2013.

By getting contiguous properties -- through a long

process of fundraising planners have preserved not

only wildlife corridors but a variety of typical Minnesotaenvironments: oak woodland, grassy bluffs, wetlands and

the creek itself, which grows from a trickle to the flow

that has etched out small "canyons" in rock at its St. Paul

end.

Eventual plans are for paved trails, rustic trails and

scenic overlooks that will bring people in but keep the

area a natural site. Birders find migratory birds and

nesting warblers in the woodlands, wild turkeys and

hawks patrolling the fields and woodpeckers working

on trees in the area. Annual wildflower walks introduce

people to woodland and prairie flowers as well as routesthrough the property. And for those who think they have

to drive for hours to get "out of the city," the peaceful

setting is a welcome oasis.

Maplewood's portion of the site offers onstreet parking

in the area near the bluff view over the Mississippi valley

on Carver Avenue and Henry Lane. Visitors are asked to

remember regular city park policies, such as keeping dogs

on leash.

Ramsey County's portion is accessible from Point

Douglas Road off Carver Avenue Park. Hikers can

follow the creek and adjoining trails as it winds under

Point Douglas Road.

Taking in nature

Spring, fall, summer or winter, the Fish Creek property offers a nature getaway and gorgeous views.

The indooor mall was hailed in the

1960s as the new "town square,"

where people would shop, eat, do

business and congregate, as they'd

done on main streets and villagegreens for centuries.

Planners gradually realized that

malls wouldn't replace all those

functions, and some such as

Apache Plaza in St. Anthony

Village which were obviously

built with capacious interiors to

house lingering crowds have been

razed.

But Maplewood Mall, whichmarked its 40th anniversary in

fall 2014 with gala back-to-school

events, is still going strong.

Farming or commerce?

The contrast between northern

Maplewood's early-20th-century

and more recent identities could,

until a few years ago, be seen from

one spot on White Bear Avenue

near Lydia Avenue.On one side: the huge mall and

its constellation of bank branches,

restaurants, specialty shops and

discount stores that seem to be

drawn by its gravitational pull.

On the other: the century-old

Bruentrup farmhouse, barn and

outbuildings, which used to lookacross the avenue onto fields, a

small woods and a pond.

On Jan. 23, 1968 the fledgling

city of Maplewood had only been

incorporated in 1957 plans

were announced to build an

$8 million, 125-acre shopping

area in Maplewood, near the

newly constructed Interstate 694.

Though residents thought of thearea as farmland, and used to take

Sunday drives around the park-

like property, new housing and

businesses were coming in, and

Maplewood didn't want to lose

the vast acreage or the cachet of

having its own mall.

Maplewood Mall celebrated its

grand opening July 31, 1974, and

began drawing shoppers from asfar away as Stillwater and western

Wisconsin, says Pete Boulay of the Maplewood Area

Historical Society.

Many locals initially opposed the mall's construc-

tion, Boulay says, fearing the rural area around White

Bear Avenue would become commercialized. As

anyone who drives down White Bear Avenue today

can see, that's what happened.

What was once a quiet rural area is now a thrivingcommercial district.

"People are always quick to point out that Maplewood

Mall is no Rosedale Mall," Boulay says. "Well it

never was. In reality, the Maplewood Mall became a

bigger thing with an active and evolving commercial

area around it."

"Evolving" meant, for the Bruentrup farm, moving

the home, barn and outbuildings to County Road

D. Their former site now houses Michaels and Half

Price Books.

The plan: continued change

In its 40 years, the mall has seen former anchors

like Woolworths and Walgreens come and go. Baskin

Robbins and Sbarro (with its two-for-a-quarter video

arcade) once packed people in, while other store

such as Sears, Claire's and Spencer's Gifts have with

stood the test of time.

The yellow and orange dcor of the 1970s wasreplaced with white plaster and palm trees during the

1988 renovation. That renovation expanded the mal

to 718,000 square feet, adding 40 new stores, and

moved the food court to the west wing.

Now, at 926,000 square feet with more than 130

stores, the mall has a long-term, big-vision plan tha

began in 2002 when it was purchased by the Simon

Property Group.

Major renovations from 2011 to 2012 included

outside, reconstructed entrances and additional landscaping, while interior changes included a redesigned

food court and new

flooring with a com-

bination of ceramic

tiles and carpeted

paths. Restrooms and

common areas were

remodeled and energy-

efficient lighting was

installed throughout.

While fashion styles,

decorating trends and

shopping habits have

changed over the

years, one thing hasn't

kids' attraction to the

mall's double-decker

Venetian carousel. It

was handcrafted in Italy

and assembled inside the mall in

1998, and thousands of children

and their parents have taken a spin

on it over the years.

Certainly, the shoppers who

crowded the mall at its 1974

opening never imagined a day

when there wouldn't be a Powers,

a Dayton's or a Woolworth's there

or when the mall would host

"Asian fusion" restaurants, a "brow

studio," charging stations for cell

phones and free wi-fi.

Nor could they have

envisioned leaving

and business directo

Timothy Pothen and

mall manager Jennife

Lewis as the two gathe

feedback and conside

the mall's next moves.

But Pothen still get

to hear compliments

in person, too. "My

favorite part is when

I get to hear those

shoppers who shopped

here years and year

ago ... and they come

in and they're wowed by how good

the property looks," he says.

The carousel attracts fans of all ages in its place of honor at

Maplewood Mall.

Recreation in

North St. PaulThe city of North St. Paul combines

suburban serenity with small-town

charm.

A stroll down historic main
