[StPaul] are you involved with a space of civic activity?

[Kramer G.]

I'm one of the students from the Macalester geography class that has been 
holding the various topics discussions, but this post has nothing to do 
with the discussions at all. Our final project involves visiting a specific 
"space of citizenship" and analyzing it in the context of related academic 
thought on the subject of citizenship, civic engagement, democracy, etc. 
The area I had been researching for has recently fallen through (they told 
me I wasn't allowed inside), and I was wondering if any of you could 
contact me with ideas of places that you may know of or are involved with, 
as this should reach a pretty active group of citizens.

A space of citizenship is a broad definition that I can manipulate to fit 
the space. Don't be shy about recommendations. It would include any area 
where people act in ways that effect a community to which they belong. 
(This COULD include certain bars, stores, places of worship, volunteer 
organizations, government buildings, etc.)

Any ideas that you may have would be extremely appreciated, but several 
characteristics would be especially excellent:
-Accessibility from Macalester (either public transportation or proximate 
to the campus)
-Two or more simultaneously occuring dimensions of citizenship (e.g. 
American, other nationality, ethnic, neighborhood, linguistic, religious, 
socioeconomic status, occupational, other common interest...)

Thank you all so much for any help you can provide me with! Please contact 
me as soon is as convenient, as I need to have at least 10 pages by 
Saturday night!
