Virtual Tour of Downtown Saint Paul - One of the Twin Cities

[@namewithheld129]

Union Depot is a beautifully restored building worth seeing. I also think they had some condos in there.

How many former St Paul MN residents come to this video just to be reminded of their former home. XD I grew up in Hayden Heights area as a kid - and Somehow you just can't shake where you grew up.

Saint Paul doesn't have all the skyscrapers of Minneapolis, but it most certainly has its charms :)

I’m moving to downtown St. Paul, from the mountains of NEGA, in October. And I chose St. Paul because it has an edge MLPS doesn’t: attainable; manageable; realistic, room for improvement. I’m so excited about my purchase I’m about to piss myself, because it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. I’m looking forward to a pedestrian lifestyle, as I did once in Boston, w the new light rail that will be at the next block over. So, I’m stoked! Can’t wait!

You posted two years ago. How’d the move go? Any update?

This is the best video of the city. Plain and simple. Nice work!

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Thank you so much!!

[@thomasmiller4642]

Your videos are a lot of fun and very informative Jesse. I moved to St. Paul in February from Appleton WI, and I'm absolutely in love with the area. Keep doing what you do man. It's appreciated!

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Thank you, my friend!! That means a lot!! I will indeed! Got any favorite spots I haven’t shown or mentioned?

@@ToTheTwinCities I rent an apartment just above The Palace, but I never use it. I live with my girlfriend in Roseville:) I’m a big fan of the Ramsey and Cathedral Hill neighborhoods. We spent a lot there before the Covid thing started. A Ramsey Hill tour would be cool if you’ve not yet done one.

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Nice! I think those fit into the summit-university neighborhood! I have not done that yet!

[@thomasmiller4642]

@@ToTheTwinCities Right on! I subscribed to your channel about a month ago after my girlfriend and I chanced upon one of your Minneapolis videos. Now they pop up in my feed and we really enjoy them!

Stopped renting in the burbs and bought a 107 yr old house on Dayton's Bluff, just across the Kellogg St Bridge. Fell in love with St Paul!

Eighties downtown St Paul was great. It had a lot of great stores similar to Nicolette Mall.

[@JewelzFin]

I miss living in St. Paul. I moved there back in 88' when I was only two years old. Moved away in 1994. But I still remember everything about it and it was what shaped me into the person I am today. Furthermore, Downtown St. Paul has somewhat of a Seattle/Portland look to it. Downtown Minneapolis has more of a Chicago look and feel. SKOL

Hey Jesse!! Crazy how I just so happened to stumble across this! I was looking up different views for the St Paul Skyline, scrolled down a little, this caught my eye, hit play, and "hey! That's Jesse!!" I watched a few more of your videos and they're all really informative, they have pretty good info on the cities that is important to know if you are looking to move. As you're talking, I catch myself nodding and agreeing about the differences between St Paul and Minneapolis whether it be about the bikes, the maps, or the night life. Keep up the good work! The kids&I will be looking forward to seeing your future videos. :D

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Hey Rheanna! That’s so cool! Hope you’re doing well!!

[@stefandomeier1911]

I know you mentioned Saint Paul is more “business” oriented and therefore places close earlier. I agree, but would add that Saint Paul is “government” oriented as well; capital, court house, ect. Whereas Minneapolis has a lot of firms/businesses; therefore cater more toward the business/social side of things and are open later.

[@stefandomeier1911]

Oh, and Saint Paul has a lot of churches and social services which isn’t exactly conducive to night life. Those are my 2 cents! :) again - great content!

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Very good point about it being so government heavy!!!

[@AtticTapes14]

St Paul more old fashioned

[@ToTheTwinCities]

A lot of great history and architecture!

[@vickyfreese6694]

I would love to move back to st paul. Lived and worked there 30 years ago. Are the downtown apts connected by the skyway?

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Nice!! It’s a great spot. Some of them are connected!

*ok Neistat, this editing gets better every upload*

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Hahaha thank you!!

[@exploreandtalk2024]

Please tour Macalester college and make a full video. Thanks

[@spasskyfan5389]

Never mentioned our national historic landmark, open 24/7 (pre-pandemic), Mickey's Diner.

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Shame on me!! Haha

Great video of St Paul! Which brokerage are you with? I too am a new agent and I applaud your efforts and work doing all the tours of our cities!

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Thank you! I’m with Realty One Group Choice! It’s been an excellent brokerage!

[@lentilreflection2676]

Hi Jesse, thanks for this virtual tour. I want to take a road trip to the twin cities (I live in the Southwest). Do you have any tips on visiting during the winter? I have lived in cold climate before so I know the drill regarding winter tires and warm clothing. I guess my main question would be -- Do you think it would still be possible to get a feel of the city even though it is winter, and many places are closed due to Coronavirus? I would normally just wait until the pandemic is over but I am in a unique situation to be able to travel because I am working remotely. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@ToTheTwinCities]

Hey! I think you can definitely get a feel for the twin cities the winter, but with coronavirus stacked on top of colder weather it’ll definitely feel sleepier and you might get the impression that there’s never traffics which there definitely is here. But I believe restaurants are open in limited capacity now and all retail is as well, so while you’ll see a dialed back version of the area, I think it’ll be worth it! And if you like it in the winter, you’ll love it in the warmer months!

[@rubystaging237]

I wonder if they have heated pools for swimmers

[@ToTheTwinCities]

I’m sure they do somewhere!!

Oh hey. I remember you from Alistair Hennessey
