A good friend to Cities 97 for years now, Joe Spencer is the Arts & Culture Liaison for St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. A Fancy title for sure, but the bottom line on Joe's gig is that he tries to make fun stuff happen in the Capital City. If it's happening in St. Paul, he fills us in on it every Friday, so if you're looking for weekend fun on the east side of the river - you'll find it here!
