Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, and St. Paul-de-Vence, France, are today taking the first steps in inaugurating the St. Paul Web Boutique. This will be an exciting technological venture for the two cities.
At 1:30 p.m., Central Daylight Time the two cities' representatives made a videoteleconferencing hook-up and exchanged greetings. Saint Paul's Mayor Norm Coleman and Rene Buron, Mayor of St. Paul-de-Vence, also exchanged written greetings.
It's hoped that in the near future, as many as possible of the many cities in the world named "St. Paul" can be connected via the web and other ways.
