"From the architectural landmarks of Cathedral Hill to the tranquil charm of Lake Phalen, St. Paul possesses a long, colorful history that its residents celebrate with an almost cultish fervor. Each neighborhood offers a glimpse into the city's roots and every street tells a story. Combining rigorous research with a feisty wit, Donald L. Empson has written a history of St. Paul's place names. With more than one thousand entries and over one hundred photographs, The Street Where You Live is the most complete inventory of public spaces in St. Paul in existence. At long last this new edition - the first update since 1975 - has been revised and expanded to include neighborhoods, parks, lakes, streams, islands, bridges, cemeteries, caves, and other landmarks, as well as streets and avenues."--Jacket

"An earlier edition was published in 1975 by Witsend Press"--Title page verso
