Getting to the Landmark Center

Parking in downtown Saint Paul can be a challenge, so I thought I'd post some assistance ahead of our Sunday performance in the Cortile Atrium of the Landmark Center.  The atrium is the main open space in the center of the ground floor of the Landmark Center.  If you don't see it upon entrance, just look beyond the cafeteria.

  • The Landmark Center has a parking and public transit guide.
  • My favorite parking ramp is the Robert Street Municipal Ramp, an 8-minute walk from the Landmark Center.  You can reserve it for $5 with ParkingPanda.
  • Street parking is limited, but free on Sundays, except when there is an event at the Xcel Center or CHS Field.  There is at least no Wild game Sunday, but the city does not post all exceptions on the meters and my recollection is that the meters will take your money any day of the week.
  • The Landmark Center is a 5-minute walk from the Green Line Central Station.
  • Several bus lines drop off/pick up at 5th and Market Streets at the Southeast corner of the Landmark Center.
If anyone would like to carpool with me, let me know.  I'd like to arrive at noon.  Lon has asked that we're ready by 12:30 for sound check.

Hear from you Sunday,
Jonathan

New Possible Spring 2020 Dates: Ramsey County and Lyngblomsten

I've posted some more possible dates at Ramsey County Care Center and Lyngblomsten for Spring 2020 shows at https://rsvp.mmo.mando.land/ .  Could you please visit the site and indicate your availability, or email me (Jonathan)?  I'm happy to help with password and other site assistance.

The Irish Ensemble is looking to play at Greenhouse Village March 11 as well as another opportunity or two around St Patrick's Day.  Let me or Allison know if you'd like to join in and we can get music and practice times to you.

Directions to and Arriving Episcopal Homes

Sunday we have a 2pm performance at Episcopal Homes at 490 East Lynnhurst Avenue in Saint Paul.  Our host, Kristin, will greet us at the door and has a couple of notes.

- When entering the parking lot from University, use the first door on your right to the Welcome Center.
- You can park anywhere, but please sign your car at the desk to the left entering the Welcome Center.
- There's not a lot of parking, and Kristin is expecting family visitors, so if you can carpool, please do.

I live nearby at XXXXXXXXX.  Feel free to use my house as a staging area, parking usually isn't tight on Sundays.  If you like, we can head over to the Blue Door after the show for a burger and beer or a beverage at my house if the Blue Door is crowded.
