Mostly St Paul and some Minneapolis

St Paul gets top billing because the majority of the thread's pics are from there but Minneapolis goes first to preserve chronological order.

Minneapolis



When I woke up we had a pretty good snow storm going so I took some pictures:



































A brief tour of the Seward neighborhood:

















The Mississippi River:





A couple of odds and ends from the end of the month:





St Paul

Cathedral Hill:









































Midway is halfway between the two downtowns:





















The Capitol:

Looks quite familiar. I was impressed by the following commercial building when I came across it during my visit,

Thanks for the tour, Drewcifer.

Nicely done! Your TC tours always seem to reflect the Cities as I know them (which is not very downtown-oriented). My introduction to the Twin Cities, years ago, actually came in Midway around University/Snelling. It's a funky area, for sure.

I was hoping someone got pics of our earliest snow in over 30 years! I had never seen snow with so many leaves, it was weird.

I love your alley shots in Cathedral Hill (I used to bike through there years ago). Also enjoyed seeing the Seward area--GREAT TOUR!

Love the early snow pics......we are well into our 9th month without any snow here in Southern Ontario...that must be nearing some kind of record.
