Hello!
I'm a student working on a project about asset-based community development, and
if you have a minute, I would really be interested in your answers to the
questions below.
1. What would you put on your personal map of Roseville (i.e. places you visit
often, roads you use, important landmarks, etc.)?
2. What do you identify as Roseville's boundaries?
3. How many neighbors do you know and how often do you have contact with them?
4. Do you belong to any clubs, organizations, or associations in the
neighborhood? If so, which ones?
5. An asset is defined as "the gifts, skills and capacities of individuals,
associations and institutions within a community," (Kretzmann and McKnight
1993:25). What do you think Roseville's key assets are?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

I grew up in Saint Paul and used to go to Roseville a lot.
1. Places I visited often were Har Mar, Rosedale, and the Ramsey County
Library. Less often Lake McCarrons and the McCarrons shopping centre. I took
the bus, mostly the Snelling Ave. line and what was then called North Suburban
Lines on Rice St.
2. I don't think of suburbs as being seperate places from their central cities,
so I thought of Roseville more as a Saint Paul neighbourhood than a seperate
city. I guess I would consider the legal boundaries to be Roseville's
boundaries.
3. I've never lived in Roseville though at one time I wanted to.
4. Not in Roseville. I am on the NRP Steering Committee in Minneapolis.
5. As far as "institutions" go, defintely Har Mar and Rosedale shopping
centres.
