A lifelong resident of Greater Mankato, Tom Hagen delivered newspapers on Front Street as a child and fought to save the street as an adult. Like many, he believes that, well-intentioned or not, the destruction of Front Street was a mistake from which the community may never rebound. In a far-reaching conversation with Dave Engen Tom discussed everything from the message of modern architecture to his favorite Front Street toy store.
