Oak Park Heights accepting applications for city council seat after death of longtime mayor
The death of longtime Oak Park Heights Mayor Mary McComber last month left an opening on the city council and necessitated a change in leadership. Former Deputy Mayor Chuck Dougherty is now mayor, and council member Mike Runk has been appointed deputy mayor. The council is accepting applications from candidates interested in filling the vacant city council seat. The deadline for applying is July 3; applications can be found on the city's website or at City Hall. The appointed council member will serve until a special election in November 2026; Dougherty will serve as mayor until a special election at the same time. Both special elections would be for a two-year term to finish McComber's and Dougherty's remaining terms, said City Administrator Jacob Rife. Dougherty has served on the council since 2013. Prior to that, he served on both the parks commission and the planning commission. 'I am honored and grateful for the trust the Oak Park Heights City Council has placed in me by appointing me as mayor of our city,' Dougherty said. 'Mayor McComber left some big shoes to fill, but in this time of transition, I am committed to providing steady leadership and ensuring continuity for our community.' McComber, 71, died May 26 at her home in Oak Park Heights of complications related to Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She served for 12 years on the Oak Park Heights City Council before running for mayor in 2012.

Palace Pub to take the place of Wrestaurant at the Palace starting next week
The restaurant next door to the Palace Theatre in downtown St. Paul is finally reopening after extensive water damage caused its closure last fall. The new name for the restaurant, which will be run by First Avenue, is Palace Pub. Wrestaurant at the Palace is no more. 'After months of repairs and reflection, we made the decision to officially close that chapter,' the First Avenue folks said in a news release. 'Now, we're ready for what's next.' The restaurant will officially open Tuesday, June 17, with happy hour, dinner and late-night bites. The menu includes thin-crust pizza (a stark departure from Wrestaurant's thick-crust Detroit-style pies), sandwiches and appetizers. There will be a full bar with a cocktail menu, local beer, wine, THC beverages and other non-alcoholic options. Regular hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. with the kitchen open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant will also open on Sunday or Monday if there are events at the Palace or the Xcel Energy Center. 'We're excited to bring something fresh to this iconic space,' said Marc Dickhut, First Avenue director of general operations, in the release. 'Our team has put the time into creating a spot that feels easy, welcoming, and fun — whether you're grabbing a quick drink before a show, hanging late with friends, or stopping in for food downtown. We can't wait to open the doors and be part of the renewed energy in downtown St. Paul.' The Palace Theatre is owned by the city and co-managed by First Avenue and JAM Productions. Palace Pub: 33 W.
