Review: Wrestaurant at the Palace (and its delicious pizza) welcome addition to downtown St. Paul

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:52 GMT

One of the greatest things to happen to downtown St. Paul in the past decade has been the opening of the Palace Theatre as a music venue.The Palace hosts mostly rock shows — often acts that I want to see — in a restored yet still funky old space. And there are some places to eat nearby, but honestly, I have grown tired of most of them.Enter Wrestaurant at the Palace.

Ask Amy: A parent confronts a sad Thanksgiving

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:52 GMT

Dear Amy: My mid-30s daughter lived with a partner for 10 years. He is a horrid and manipulative man.I accepted that as an adult she could make her own life choices, however misguided I may think they are.As a “couple,” she and her partner attended holiday gatherings at my home.About a year ago, I heard from my other daughters that she had become engaged to this man, although she never mentioned this to me.Not long ago, my daughter was in a roadway accident, and she died suddenly and tragically.Although she is gone, her former partner continues to consider himself a family member, and this is a sentiment that is shared by my late daughter’s two sisters.I have no such feelings about him, and wish never to see him again.Thanksgiving is coming soon, and he expects that he will share a place at our table.I really do not want this man at the table, although I respect my other daughters’ wish to have him be a part of their lives.How would you recommend that I commu...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:52 GMT

Natural light is all the rage in home design and decor these days. Now that we’re getting less sunlight per day, it’s a good time to think about how to keep homes looking bright, airy, warm and welcome all year long.Using natural light as a form of decoration doesn’t require time at a retail store or scrolling through online-shopping and home-styling websites.

Let’s start with the construction and installation of doors and windows.Depending on style preferences, consider adding windows to the doorways themselve...
