Marshall Ave
"A main artery of St. Paul"
This is a busy street in St. Paul, with lots of shops. Few are “swank” but all are serviceable. It is close to the U Of M and has excellent mass transit links to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. Not high on the high life, but a good place to be in you are young.

Lower Hidden Falls Dr
"Dead End Drive"
There is not much to this street. It just dead ends into a little picnic area. There is not much in the way of amenities or access to the river. Don’t bike down here. The road is steep and there is no outlet. Sadly, it is not even a pretty view.

West Youngman Ave
"Your way into St. Paul"
If you are looking for a quick fast street into downtown St. Paul from the airport this is it. It is the way to get there from the airport. Or if you want to get to the Science Center Parking ramp – which is as good as a place to park for the Excel Center as anywhere. There are also excellent bike paths that follow the road.

Grand Ave
"A classic street in St. Paul"
Snelling is an older main though fair. It goes though a lot of different neighbors. It touches the State Fair ground and two colleges. There are a lot of smaller family business in the area. There are some interesting Korean restaurants. However, it would be a place that I would be careful after dusk.

Dale St North
"It is North St. Paul"
North St. Paul is the home of working families. This street is very typical. It is lined with residential homes. There is not much in the way of shopping. However, there are some very attractive parks and schools that line the road. If you want an inexpensive place to live you could do worse.

"This is the place to be"
This street is littered with upscale shops, little coffee shops, large houses, broad streets, and good bike paths. If you are looking for the "It" neighborhood in St. Paul, this is it. It has an annual festival days in the summer which is filled with street shops, bands, etc. Great place to be.

Hidden Falls Dr
"For a Pinic Lunch"
This street dead ends into a picnic area. The picnic area is quite nice, with areas for families and large gatherings. The amenities are rudimentary but o.k. You have access to the river – You can even put your boat in. There is access to the bike trails from here. There is strictly a public park. No retail therapy here.

South Cleveland Ave
"A place of classic shops"
Cleveland, around Ford Parkway, has a lot of classic shops right out of the 50s. A good example is Cecil’s. It is a one of those classic Eastern European Jewish deli and grocers that seem to be in a time warp. There are a lot of other little place around that is a great place to explore.

Ford Pkwy
"A good place to walk, run or bike"
This is a quite street. Which is odd because it is near so many busy places. It is one of those connector streets for those who are on bikes. It hooks up the Highland area with the U of M. There is a nice off street bike / running path. If you want to get close to the Mississippi then you should head over to the Minneapolis side.
