New Faces!

    Given that the average age of the inmates of the OFH it's not surprising that there is turnover. There have been two changes on my hall during my tenure. Frequently I'm mistaken for a new resident, which isn't surprising given my frequent absence. It's been about two and half years since I moved here.

   The big news is that the foundation that built this, and the neighboring building, are approaching St. Paul for permission to build a second-story skyway to connect them. That building has no dining facilities so residents come to our place. In the winter they've been known to drive here from across the street. The foundation officials are quite optimistic that St. Paul will approve. Perhaps the decision to seek a skyway is driven, at least in part, but the low occupancy of the other building. It is hoped the skyway, on the second floor level will be open in 2025. 

 "Residents, Families and Staff of Lexington Landing,

We are thrilled to announce that the J.A. Wedum Foundation, the owner of Lexington

Landing, has applied to the City of St. Paul for approval to build a skyway connecting Terrace

1 and Terrace 2 of our beloved Lexington Landing Apartments. The skyway would connect at

the 2nd level elevator lobbies of each building. If approved, construction is expected to start

in the Fall of 2024 and be completed in early 2025."  Courtney Jedney, administrator.
