A guide to people and society in Saint Paul, Minnesota, this category will list local artisans, personal pages, organizations and associations, political or civic issues, memorial sites, and pet pages.
Websites representing artisans, such as cartoonists, illustrators, musicians, painters, photographers, sculptors, and others, are appropriate for this category.
However, Saint Paul art galleries will be listed in the Things to Do & Places to Go category, and if it's more of a business than art, a more appropriate category might be a Services & Industries category. For example, a photography business specializing in wedding photography services is probably more of a business than art, and that's not a reflection on the quality of the work. Use your best judgment when submitting a site. If we disagree, we can simply move it.
For the most part, organizations and associations based in Saint Paul will be listed in this category, although in some cases another category might be a better fit. For example, an association of churches in Saint Paul would be listed under Faith & Spirituality. Again, use your best judgment when choosing a category to submit your site to.
Organizations that might be included here include Boy Scout troops, the Lions Club, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Masonic lodges, and the like.
Political parties and other sites focused on politics or issues in Saint Paul are suitable for this category.
If the focal point of a site is on a resident or native of Saint Paul, that site may be listed here as well, regardless as to whether the person is famous or not. Personal web pages of Saint Paul residents are examples. Memorial pages that have been set up for a deceased former Saint Paul resident can be listed here too.
