Although I've been inside this beautiful edifice many times, I've only just used it as an actual…read moretrain station for the first time. Such a grand building looks like it could do with a lot more passenger train traffic than it actually gets. But I love coming here, no matter what the reason! There are two busy multi-state Amtrak lines that pass through here. It is also served by local bus routes (Metro Transit, etc.) and national ones like Megabus and Greyhound. The bus platforms are close to the train platforms and are easy to negotiate, and the light rail station is out on 4th Street directly in front. There is a pickup-dropoff area on Kellogg, one floor down from the main hall, where it's easy to get taxis and rideshares, and there is a Hertz rental car place down there as well. There are some shops and a restaurant! Check out my review of 1881 Eating House on their separate Yelp page, but there is a bike shop, a book shop, a toy train shop, and a travel store to check out. And there are often very lively events going on, especially during the holidays. Even if you just show up to stroll through the building I think you will enjoy your visit. It's such a beautiful building that I'm proud of how well it represents Saint Paul to travelers.

The 28th Ave station is right next to Mall of America and only a 10 min ride to MSP airport or if you want to continue downtown. Also you gotta love the ride on the light rail between Terminal 1 and 2, the train conductors really push the train when they enter the under ground tunnel, it feels like your on that boat in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, or maybe I'm just crazy. Anyways enjoy the ride!!!!!!

This area has a nice mix of businesses: you can grab some falafel, pick up some liquor (I suggest a…read moremid-range single-malt Scottish whiskey) and browse a couple of record stores among other things. There's a co-op grocery store just a few blocks north and if you brought your bike and reusable shopping bag you can ride along on one of St Paul's rarest finds: decent bike lanes. It's also just about a 10 minute bike ride if you continue north to the St Anthony neighborhood's quaint tiny business district on Como Ave. I think at the station they mention walking there, but that's 30 minutes one way: at least 3x longer than most people are willing to walk from a station. If you're not biking, hop on the 87 bus which has a stop on Como and walk a few blocks northwest. And how could I forget that mysterious Khai Hoan Billiards joint (Vietnamese, I think) just a bit west of the station that has no info on it anywhere online, not even Yelp. One of these days...maybe.

I used the 38th station to go to Colossal cafe. The bus doesn't really run frequent enough so we just walked to the cafe for about 10min. Along the way we saw several restaurants and bars.

The downside is that all of the other great stuff down 38th isn't easy to reach on foot from the station and the 23 which serves it only comes every half hour: what's the point of investing in LRT if the buses that serve these stations hardly run?
