About
True Confessions Gangster Tour
Sr. Celestine has been in Heaven for nearly a century but she graciously returns to tell the tales that both enlighten and put the fear of God in her listeners!
In the Middle Ages people learned about Good and Evil by watching Morality Plays. During Prohibition people in St. Paul learned about Good and Evil by watching their shamelessly corrupt elected officials …and the parade of convicted felons they cordially invited to “layover for a little while”.
A tour that explores the lesser-known chapter of the city’s history when America’s Most Wanted lived and died on the streets of St. Paul.
Notable sites include the Mickey's Diner, the Hamm’s Building, Patrick’s Novelty, the Green Lantern, the Palace Theatre, and more.
These are stories that were not easily offered up in any confessional!
Afterward, you may want to fortify yourself with a little refreshment at Celeste of St. Paul: Hotel + Bar (Sr. Celeste’s former convent home)!
Tour includes a select beverage afterward in the Hotel Bar!
