The Days of Rondo by Evelyn Fairbanks

5.0

Growing up in the suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota, I never once heard of the existence of Rondo until my 22nd year and that frustrated and angered me. Ms Evelyn Fairbanks gave such fascinating and lovely accounts of childhood in Rondo and I hope that some day soon all schools in the Twin Cities, St Paul at very least, highlight the history of Rondo and the fracturing of the neighborhood with the construction of 94, something that is seldom talked about. Overall, this book was a wonderful and warm account of her childhood and adulthood in Rondo and is a must read if you’re from Minnesota in my opinion.
