What I Love About St. Paul, Minnesota
One of the twin cities, St. Paul actually became a city before Minnesota became a state! This city got its start when missionaries, explorers and traders were looking for the protection that local Fort Snelling could give them. Ironically, the officials of the fort eventually made the settlers move away from the fort as a result of the prominent whisky trade in the area!
Why I Love St. Paul
Every winter, the banks of the Mississippi are transformed into a winter wonderland for Winter Carnival; a celebration of food, fun, dancing and the crowning of the “King of the Winds”.
What’s Notable About St. Paul
St. Paul is home to no major league professional sports teams; however the city is the home of the Minnesota Thunder soccer team and the Minnesota Swarm, a National Lacrosse League team. St. Paul was also the birthplace of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Peanuts’ cartoonist, Charles Schultz.
