Saint Paul, capital city of Minnesota, has a reputation as the "quieter" of the Twin Cities. Although this reputation is well deserved in some respects, when it comes to recreation, Saint Paul is easily the equal of Minneapolis.
Whether you are interested in museums and theater, or cycling and boating,
St. Paul offers numerous cultural activities such as the Minnesota Historical Society, Science Museum of Minnesota, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and The Ordway Center for Performing Arts to name a few.
The city also has enough lakes, parks, biking and walking trails, and golf courses to fill the entire summer. Spring and fall provide some of the greatest views and venues for observing nature in the upper midwest. In the winter, hockey reigns supreme in Minnesota and St. Paul is home to the NHL's Minnesota Wild who play at the Excel Energy center which has sold out every home game in the franchise's history.
Never a dull moment in St.

Expect to be Stranded! - 4/29/2009
Do expect to be stranded and go home with horrible migraines from the horrible public transit system in the Twin Cities. Basically you spend more time waiting for a bus to arrive than yo udo anything else during the day. I was trying to cut costs by taking the bus instead of my car, as an experiment for a year. I made it 3 months before I had to quit because I was just spending so much time waiting on a bus or walking miles upon miles to get to the next pick-up spot that I just couldn't do it anymore.
I've lived in Portland OR and other medium sized cities before and the Twin Cities are just shameful with how bad their transportation is.. it's really

Beautiful Place to Live - 10/11/2007
One thing that is great about living in Minnesota is the changing seasons. Fall is my favorite season because the state is covered in trees and you get some amazing color from the changing leaves. Lately the fall can be a little chilly, but winters have been relatively warm compared to winters 20 years ago. Summers for the most part are warm, but 100 degree days are rare. With the numerous lakes in the state, there is always somewhere to take a summer swim or take a boat

Love St Paul!!! - 5/14/2007
I have lived in MN all my life, and I love it here. I was born and raised in St. Paul until age 8 when my family moved about 25 min away to a suburb of St. Paul. As soon as I turned 18, I moved back to St. Paul where everything is within walking/biking distance. I live in one of the higher-end neighborhoods (near historic Summit Ave where all the houses are worth millions), and it is pretty safe, although some not-so-classy areas are very nearby so there is still crime, but where isn't there crime? Yes, I suppose the weather in colder than in most areas of the U.S., but you get used to it. Nothing feels better than a nice, sunny day after a long winter. The river is kind of a central area for nice homes. There are lots of paths and sidewalks, and it seems there are always plenty of people out running, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc. It is so gorgeous here in the fall too. The leaves are absolutely breathtaking. I do plan on moving out east in a few years because I would like to

More laid back than minneapolis - 10/20/2006
As a sibling in the Twin Cities, living in Saint Paul stands as the more quiet sister to minneapolis. in contrast it is cheaper, quiter, and slower paced. Many people say downtown is dead in at night despite attempts to transform it into mini-minneapolis. The east side is course and gritty, but the south west is like an idylic small town. Summit Avenue is a stately and historic boulevard that runs through the western center half of the city. Saint Paul is interesting and has a lot of nooks and crannies. It was built around the rivers and railroads which run through the area creating pockets of community and unusual topography. People from grid-based minneapolis can get hopelessly lost and fear crossing the river lest they drive around aimlessly and have to miss supper. A large influx of Hmong, Somali and Latinos in the last 10 years have changed the city dramatically with mixed results. An explosion of condos have been blanketing the city as well. Overall, it is OK. You could do

Need info. - 8/6/2006
I may be taking a job transfer to the Roseville, but thinking about living in Hudson or roberts, WI since you can get a little newer and more sq.ft for your money. How long will my commute be? I usually leave between 6-630 a.m. Ideally I would like to keep my commute under 45 minutes. Are there any other cities anyone would suggest? I think homes in the TC and surrounding burbs are 25-50k over priced that is why I am looking outside the TC. Can anyone give me the inside scoop on the housoing market? I have heard homes prices have dropped in the past year. is this
