uncovered wagon

uncovered wagon

This wagon has been parked in this parking lot on west 7th street, in St. Paul since the 1800′s.  Not  really but it seems like it.  There is a story . . . but not a very interesting one. It was once stolen from the West End Business nd Professional association.  They used it as a float in the local parade . . . which has not been held for years . . and there is a story there too.  The association eventually got the wagon back and then they parked it here.  I think the building is owned by a member. At one point they tried to sell it but I don’t think they ever did. I guess there are some things that are fun to steal but people don’t want them if they have to pay for them.
