Today is the last day for Christmas shopping. I try to do some of my Christmas shopping here even though it tends to be limited. You can find fun gifts from local artists at the Artists Mercantile on Seventh Place. I wish there were more shops like that and I appreciate the addition of the stores that have come to downtown in the last 10 years. I suppose everyone in downtown has their own wish list for adding shopping to our mix. Do we want some big box stores like Barnes & Noble and Target here? I enjoy the shopping experience of places like Grand Avenue or downtown White Bear Lake, and I love Nordstrom Rack at the Mall of America. I guess we are still trying to figure out what we want to be in downtown St. Paul, but the changes for the better are noticeable. My wish list? I wish we had a summer flea market near the farmer's market, a store that only carries jeans (no spandex jeans please), and maybe a Schuler Shoes.
