I'd like to see who has more murders per capita. I seem to hear about shootings on St. Paul's East Side pretty frequently.
»» Submitted by grote at 1:21 PM on December 12
St. Paul has had 15 murders this year. Minneapolis has had 59. Population of St. Paul is 277,000, Minneapolis is 380,000.
So, St. Paul has .054 murders per 1000, Minneapolis has .155 per thousand, or about three times as many per capita.

So I guess the difference is that shooters in Minneapolis have better aim?

St. Paul: Birthplace of the smoking ban
»» Submitted by »»» alamn at 2:27 PM on December 12
Actually smoking bans have been around in other more civilized parts of the country for a very long time. St Paul is a relative latecomer to the party. Plus didn't Minneapolis ban it before St. Paul?

If by more civilized parts of the country you mean "Moose Lake, MN," you are correct. However, if you open the link on my post you will see that the last big wave of Minnesota ordinances have their roots in an ordinance authored by St. Paul councilmember Dave Thune. His ordinance was passed twice, and vetoed twice by Mayor Randy Kelly, who later got a "message from the voters."
The next big wave started today in Carlton County. Watch for more in Lake, St. Louis, Olmsted counties and the City of Hutchinson.

St Paul: Don't bother--it's just like Europe.
(True story: A Minneapolis friend once worked for a company owned by Germans. A colleague came over from Germany to work with him for a few months. She brought a guidebook with her, to help her make enjoyable use of her free time. Our friend suggested that she visit Saint Paul. The book says not to bother, she told him. Its supposed to be just like Europe. )
Somehow my train of thought went:
Minneapolis
Mini-apple
Saint Paul
Mini-Paul
The guy who played Mini-Me now becomes Mini-Paul in the big city of Saint Paul, showing off the various landmarks in a dozen kitschy commercials replete with ultra-low camera angles.
Heh

I met a woman on my bus (21 line) a couple years ago who swore to me that she'd never been to St. Paul. She was probably 70 years old and has lived in Minneapolis for 40 years. She said her son has encouraged her to go see it and she thought maybe some day she might.
She didn't seem crazy...

There is no "East St. Paul", but there very defintitely is "east" St. Paul, also know as the Eastside, or Phalen-corridor, or perhaps Payne Ave. Also known as the land that is cannot be reached from anywhere else. Well, at least it was until the recently built the Phalen extension and 35E exit.
There are several neighborhoods in St. Paul that are very tricky to get to unless you know exactly how to get there. Like the Indian Mounds Park neighborhood. Little lands that time forgot.

For the people who never leave Minneapolis here is a guide. West St. Paul, North St. Paul and South St. Paul are there own cities and not part of St. Paul. West St. Paul is actually south of St. Paul. South St. Paul is south east and North St. Paul is North East. East St. Paul is actually part of St. Paul but is called East St. Paul becuase it is east of the river even though it is more north.
