- [The history of Kaposia Days](https://www.stpaulpublishing.com/the-history-of-kaposia-days/) - The year was 1976 and communities across the country were busy planning celebrations to commemorate the nation’s bicentennial. Old Glory was flying everywhere, and patriotic messages filled business marquees from coast to coast. But here in South St. Paul, the mood was far from celebratory. Many residents were in a state of shock after losing their livelihood due to the rapid decline of the city’s meatpacking industry, once one of the largest operations in the world. Swift & Co. closed in November 1969 and the demise of Armour & Co. was not far behind. Armour closed its beef-kill operation in 1973 and had steadily reduced its workforce before closing for good in June 1979. At one point, these two plants – the city’s largest employers – had more than 12,000 workers. With the closures went jobs that paid good wages, jobs that allowed working-class people to build a comfortable life for their families. Darrol Bussler came to South St. Paul as the end of that era was drawing near. He was hired by the school district in 1972 to teach English at the high school but it was a short-lived assignment. He was laid off three years later due to budget cuts. He was quickly rehired to work within the district’s Community Services department, and a year later was promoted to director of Community Education, a position he held for many years. In “South St. Paul: A Brief History,” Bussler described the somber tone that permeated the community in those days, saying, “A deafening silence hovered over South St. Paul. Its heart had been ripped out.” To bring some joy back to the community, Bussler spearheaded a holiday celebration in 1975 called Christmas in South St. Paul. It featured music, dance and theater performances, and visual arts exhibits. It was intended to be a community-building event, and it turned out to be successful in lifting the community at large from the doldrums. Following its success, community leaders urged Bussler to organize a summer festival, one that might coincide with the South St. Paul Jaycees annual Fourth of July fireworks show. He accepted the challenge, rolled up his sleeves and went to work. The next summer, in 1976, Kaposia Days

After a long winter that has dumped about 90 inches of snow, she, like many others, has reason to believe that spring might

Watching them slide down a slippery riverbank or slope of snow, twist and turn as they glide effortlessly through the water, or frolic about in tall prairie grasses leads one to believe they don’t have a care in the world. They act as if the world is their oyster. I’ve spent countless hours over the past two decades traipsing through the U.S. National Park Service’s Mississippi National

- [A St. Paul Original: the Marvy Barber Pole](https://www.stpaulpublishing.com/a-st-paul-original-the-marvy-barber-pole/) - It used to be that men got their hair cut and women had their locks styled. While those lines have blurred considerably in the past 50 years, many professional barbers are quick to educate people on the difference. They are protective of their trade and take their craft seriously. Barbers, they’ll tell you, are trained to trim hair and whiskers using clippers, razors, straight razors and shears. In fact, one must have a barber’s license to use a straight razor on a customer. The barber pole is the most iconic symbol of their trade and they have fought to keep it that way. They scored a big victory in 2013 when the Minnesota Legislature passed a law that says the traditional red-white-and-blue-stripped barber pole may only be displayed on the shop of a licensed barber. St. Paul is home to the last remaining maker of barber

Despite its 10 lanes, traffic can back up for miles, particularly for those traveling eastbound on a Friday afternoon. Crossing the Mississippi has always been a challenge. In the late 1880s and early 1890s travelers in South St. Paul were forced to use a ferry, which was slow and cost money, or travel to downtown St. Paul and cross there.

You might even hear some talk about caves, but rarely, if ever, will anyone say canyons. That’s because we don’t have them, at least that’s what I thought until I read about a slot canyon in Crosby Farm Regional Park in St. Paul. Intrigued, I had to see it for myself.
- [How Hook-Em-Cow Field became Fleming Field airport](https://www.stpaulpublishing.com/how-hook-em-cow-field-became-fleming-field-airport/) - On any given day before the outset of World War II one could see small aircraft buzzing over the city of South St. Paul enroute to the drolly named Hook-Em-Cow Field: a mowed-over farm field at the southern border of the city that had a level surface suitable for landings. The runway was the brainchild of Paul A. Wilson and Paul Forsythe, two members of the Hook-Em-Cow Flying Club who had jointly purchased a Piper Cub airplane in 1939 and needed a place to use and store the aircraft. They created the landing strip and built a garage on site as a makeshift hangar, but their ownership of the field was short-lived. Their fledgling operation soon grew into a full-fledged airport that would support the war effort. The name of their club was a nod to the city’s former booster club that was organized in 1916 to help reinvigorate the St. Paul Winter Carnival. The raucous group was known for its Wild West costumes and rodeo stunts. They held an annual celebration with a parade in South St. Paul, marched in other parades across the region, and hosted rodeos and booyas. According to the city’s centennial history book, Richard McGinnis, a pilot with Northwest Airlines, formed McGinnis Aviation and took over operation of Hook-Em-Cow Field in 1940. A grand opening ceremony was held on September 29 of that year and the first true hangar was built in 1941. A flight school formed under the federally funded Civilian Pilot Training Program also opened during that time at the newly renamed McGinnis Field. In 1942, the U.S. Navy purchased the airfield and invested more than $1 million to create an auxiliary primary flight school for its Minneapolis Training Squadron 1B, based at Wold-Chamberlain Field, now MSP International Airport. They added eight hangars, two large barracks, a control tower, boiler room, powerhouse, apron and runway, and a “landing circle” that served as a target for simulated aircraft carrier landings. For four years, Navy air cadets – including future president George H. W. Bush – could be seen flying training missions in a yellow Stearman or an N3N, both single engine biplanes with open cockpits. The airport was renamed Fleming Field

He estimates he’s covered about 60% in the last 13 years and believes he’ll be able to complete his mission in the next decade. However, there’s no rush because he says it’s all about the journey not the destination. He began the venture in 2011 to satiate his curiosity about unique things he spotted around town, such as a lawn on West Seventh covered in white stone or a van on the East Side painted as the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo. He also wanted to highlight the little treasures woven into the fabric of the city so other residents can enjoy them too. All along the way he’s posted monthly on his “St. Paul By Bike” blog about the unique people he meets, interesting things he learns and quirky places he discovers.
