Though we’ve been put through the ringer… we can’t be kept down for long! We are so thrilled to share our next step with you. We scrounged our cash together and bought a food truck! Well, right now it’s sort of just a truck. That’s where you come in. We have called upon your kindness before and are asking once again for your support during this next phase. We’ll be bringing a few just/us menu favorites back, in addition to lots of new items with a street food flair. We’re working towards partnering with breweries, local events, and business parks to park & serve at all around the Twin Cities and maybe even beyond.

Nigel Parry—According to Yelp data from the end of August 2020, permanent restaurant closures have reached 97,966, representing 60% of closed businesses that will never reopen. The double-whammy, of course, is that many members of the Lowertown community rely on these businesses for income, both as employees but also as artists and musicians who rely on physical spaces to host their public shows and performances.

By Nigel Parry, Downtown St. Paul Voice—When Lisa Mathieson moved to Lowertown a dozen years ago, she quickly became involved in the arts community and has since made her presence known. She has served as a community arts organizer and St. Paul Art Crawl liaison for the Tilsner Artists’ Cooperative, a board member of the St. Paul Art Collective, and co-organizer of the Lowertown Drawing Circle, now approaching the end of its first decade of weekly Sunday meetings.

By Nigel Parry—The Lowertown Drawing Circle was founded around 10 years ago after a Sunday afternoon coffee bar conversation between Lowertown artists Ta-coumba Aiken and Lisa Mathieson. The good news is that, after a hiatus, the Lowertown Drawing Circle is back—at least through the end of February—meeting every Sunday from 1-3pm at Just/Us eatery and events, across from the Farmers’ Market in Lowertown.

Just/Us—It’s been a long, grueling road to get this place up and running. But we finally made it, y’all! Now it’s time to celebrate. We’re throwing a WEEKEND LONG PARTY from Friday, January 10th – Sunday, January 12th and you and your mom and her weird boyfriend Donnie are all invited. Seriously though, bring the whole crew and hang out with us. So many of you were integral to helping us get this place open – whether it be physically, emotionally, digitally, or all of those things. This is your celebration too!

By Nigel Parry, Downtown St. Paul Voice—After opening in downtown at the end of 2017, Just/Us took the St. Paul restaurant scene by storm with a rolling series of creatively themed prix fixe tasting menus. Following the sale of the building they were located in, the team of Lowertowners are reopening in the former Golden’s space this November.
