A few off the net because I am kinda bored:

For good measure, the state capitol:

Looks good. I have a feeling I'll be up there next January for the US Figure Skating Championships. Can't wait to see the city in person.

Nice! One of the definitions of "underrated".

Nice shots. I really love St. Paul.

Yeah, St. Paul tends to get a bit overshadowed on sites like this, but it's definitely got character of its own. If it was out on the prairie by itself, it would get a ton more attention.

St Paul is one of those cities that really should be one of America's best. It has a great history, lots of gorgeous buildings, and a civic culture that is close to ideal. Yet, the downtown is mostly deserted and the freeways have ripped up major chunks of urban fabric. Maybe there's a renaissance for St Paul. There are plans to build thousands of condos in and around downtown. I've got my fingers crossed. Still I wish the city could take itself back to 1950 when it was indisputably glorious.

Nice Capitol building. The white and gold really stands out.

ah, soleri always has something negative to say, but with a positive twist, so I guess that makes it nice
