CHARLIE DUETSCHZ

RESIDENT, HISTORIAN AT SAINT BERNARDS CHURCH

When I grew up here were were a very close knit culture and then in the 1960s a lot of the people I went to school with left for the suburbs. There has been a lot change over the years. It used to be a place where we all knew each other but now so many of the cultures are insulated from one another. My roots have always been on Rice Street. It’s why I came back!

VOICES OF THE NORTH END is dedicated to raising the visibility of North End residents and community goers.  Over the past few years In Progress interviewed and photographed individuals and families that consider the neighborhood their home. In Progress worked in partnership with the City of Saint Paul to identify residents willing to share their stories about what they appreciate most about the neighborhood.

VOICES OF THE NORTH END is sponsored by the Knight Foundation and Saint Paul Foundation
