...this is mine.
I�m Michael Mischke, 51, and still single after all these years, if you
don�t count being married to the two newspapers I publish, the Villager and
Avenues. Born in St. Cloud, I�ve lived in St. Paul since I was 6 months old,
first in Macalester-Groveland in the same house my mom still lives in, and
since college in a series of houses and condos in the Summit Hill and
Summit-University neighborhoods. (There are no better sidewalks in town than
those of the Historic Hill District for architectural walking tours.) I
currently live within sniffing range of La Cucaracha�s kitchen at Grand
Avenue and Dale Street.
I�ve worked here at the newspapers since my college days (St. John�s
University), first as editor and since 1990 as publisher.
I view the St. Paul Issues Forum as an electronic letters-to-the-editor page
and I periodically forward to my editors story ideas that I glean from
reading entries posted here. However, most of what I know I get from reading
newspapers, my own and others.
As a columnist for my newspapers, I�d guess that I fall somewhere near the
middle of the political spectrum, since I seem to attract the wrath of the
Right almost as frequently as that of the Left.
Housing affordability, the quality of K-12 education, and transportation are
the three issues that I believe will dominate public discourse in St. Paul
for the next four years.
