In the cards for our city?

I recently put a post on the Saint Paul Issues Forum [link at left or below on the side] in which I noted that today’s paper has an article about Cottage Groves history card deck and asked who or what would go on a Saint Paul deck.

I figured that some people or things would be obvious [Pig’s Eye Parrant, Alexander Ramsey, Harriet Bishop, the Mississippi River, Winter Carnival, Gordon Parks, Lexington Park, the Capitol] and wondered what others might be included, speculating out loud [so to speak since this is a written medium] about other people/things [Bishop Cretin? the Hill family? Vic Tedesco? Gordon Parks? Wendell Anderson? the gangster era? Sister Giovanni? the colleges in town? the parks – and which ones? Max Shulman?]

I chose to put that post there rather than here because they have more readers and this is something I am more interested in starting than in finishing. But anybody reading this who maybe is not a member of SPIF and wishes to make a suggestion here may feel free to do so.
