Albert Park postcards

Albert Park Postcard

Last weekend we hit our goal of 150 members and sent out our latest locally commissioned postcard featuring Albert Park. It came just in time for our third anniversary. Thanks to our generous supporters who make local news possible.

The photo captures Albert Park at night, thanks to the work of local photographer Andy Berndt. The city landmark has a unique history as the first designated park in West St. Paul and also the smallest park (though despite what the monument itself claims, it’s not a record).
