I find it funny/ironic that SF was named after someone who is from a place very similar looking to the area around SF..even though that has nothing to do with why it's named that.
St Paul doesn't have the sort of stuff that draws tourists or make people think they are in an amazing place, but it is a very comfortable place to live. It is a really city too, not some polished suburb, but it works - culturally, socially, etc. Crime is low, the public schools are good for city schools, a lot of the city is made up of racially mixed neighborhoods where people get along for the most part. There are a lot of old neighborhoods that are still intact. Housing doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You could do a lot worse.
Downtown St. Paul i agree doesnt beat alot of these cities, but for a city of it's size, that has a larger city right next to it, it is a really nice place. It is its own type of city, that cant be found very much anywhere else, and although its not a huge megacity, it is a really good city. The setup is really interesting along the river in downtown. The prison is a building built into a cliff along the river, and extends underneath a portion of downtown (since St. Paul is on a cliff pretty much, its odd). I find it cool that if someone dug too deep in the extreme southern part of downtown, they would end up in a jail cell . Theres also undergroud tunnels running underneath the city.
