CHRISTOPHER SEYMORE
MINISTER & 2018 CANDIDATE FOR U.S. SENATE
This is a lower middle class neighborhood. So when you go shopping in this neighborhood the prices are right for the people that live here in this neighborhood. We got thrift stores, dollar stores, stores that are culturally specific to this neighborhood.
There is a large Hmong population, Somali population, Hispanic population. And when you walk in the North End area you can shop specific to those three cultures. Those three cultures overlap in spices and meats and price variance. Thats what’s important about this neighborhood.

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.
