We travel full-time and go to tons of museums, and my kids said this is their favorite, hands-down! So many exhibits I remember and a bunch of new, more-relevant stuff as well. Omnitheater content was a bit aged, but it was free with our ASTC membership entry so that's okay. We loved that they had fun presentations throughout the museum sprinkled throughout the day. The Hot & Cold presentation was so much fun! I also loved that you could bring your sack lunch inside to eat. Three hours in, we still hadn't seen everything - since we have the ASTC membership, I didn't sweat it - we'll be back! [Coffee shop not too great for this seasoned sipper, but they don't lose points for that... just keep it in mind!]

Because there are family owned businesses, and they were judging me. I am a mixed-race American. Who has been judged many times but to be judged by a local service provider. Who was going to be working on my vehicle is an outrage. The service center states that they will charge you half up front for any service that is to be done so that they can purchase the parts ahead of time. Allowing anything different would mean that the judgment they made against me was purely race-related and not a business decision. I recommend you try another service station

I was worried that I was a bit "advanced" in my yoga practice for this class (even though it said all levels were welcome) due to the large quantity of props we all had to pull out of the closet.

Fantastic location, mission and variety! I have been meaning to come here and I'm so glad I did!…read moreThe shop is located near the Hamline Midway area across from Ginkgo Coffee House. I highly recommend making a shopping date with friends and then hitting coffee afterwards. Bonus: Flying Pig is typically open until 6 pm and Ginkgo 8 pm!! Flying Pig Thrift is staffed primarily by volunteers and everyone is beyond kind. Community resources are available onsite via a bulletin board and the shop supports 3 main non-profit groups. Within the dressing area room, there was a flyer supporting mental health resources and I smiled when I saw it. There are a wide variety of items that shift seasonally and frequently. Items are fairly priced and there are often sales, half price item days and even a permanent sale section in the back. I was really excited to score a denim button up with funky colorful bird designs, a cute yellow bee kind sweatshirt along with a black Nike top. In addition to clothes, there are shoes, cards, jewelry, some handcrafted art, home decor, hospital scrubs, board games, records, magazines and more. Thank you Flying Pig Thrift! I appreciate your mission and service towards the Saint Paul area.

I would strongly caution anyone against using Plugz Electric…read more My experience with Dusty Allen was incredibly frustrating and left me with very little trust in this company. I contacted Plugz Electric for a relatively small, specific repair involving our electrical meter/socket. Instead of focusing on the repair I was asking about, Dusty quickly began trying to sell us on what was presented as roughly a $20,000 whole-home electrical project. That was an enormous escalation from the issue we actually needed addressed. What concerned me most was how quickly the conversation went from "How do we fix this specific problem?" to a massive and extremely expensive electrical overhaul. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone dealing with Plugz Electric get a second or even third opinion before agreeing to any major work they recommend. We ultimately had another electrician evaluate the situation, and the experience was night and day. When someone is dealing with an electrical issue especially when their power is off they are already in an incredibly vulnerable and stressful position. That is exactly when you need an electrician you feel you can trust to clearly explain what is actually necessary, what is optional, and why. I did not feel that way whatsoever with Plugz Electric. I would not hire this company again, and I would not recommend them to friends or family. Get another opinion before spending thousands of dollars based on their recommendation.

I was drawn to contact Tammy and I am so very glad that I did. She was right on the money with so many things. She commented that what the cards laid out and how I presented were very different. She is right. I have a tough exterior but what was going on internally was something very different. I was so impressed.There were things that she could not possibly know about me, things that I have not talked about in 10-15 years. I was impressed enough to move forward with other services with her. I have never considered a life coach before. After meeting with her and her deep understanding of my journey, I decided I needed more of her insights. I would recommend her 110%. You will not be disappointed.

I can only envy the locals for having access to the 1881 unlike this 'soon to be home New Yorker'. I had the Wedge Salad, which was covered generously in fresh tomatoes, all the bacon and blue cheese crumbles one could wish; and the add-on grilled chicken breast was truly unbelievably good!! All large lunch salads I've ever had could only wish they were so good. Impeccable table service, but there's also a large bar and plenty to look at in the beautifully restored Station Head house. Going to the train station for dinner if you're not traveling seems like an odd choice, but I truly encourage you to make it. I needed greens after two days of Amtrak food, but everything read well on the menu. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you choose.

We both grew up in NYC's suburbs/ worked in manhattan until 2000 and then moved to VA MN FL and back to MN. The well discussed homeless situation we find in outstanding meticulous control by the very attentive St Paul Police who know the community on a first name basis. (Weekends you don't see them, and during the week only spotted. They never approach us.). I have worked with the impoverished communities in Harlem, Boston, Richmond, Va and Mn as a volunteer and a few full time positions in Boston. Catholic charities has done a REMARKABLE job supporting/effectively aiding the entire homeless community in the Twin Cities! As a result, we are very comfortable walking anywhere during the day and early evening. So with great joy we joined hundreds of others on St Paul's famous " Train Days" with family and grandson. Then we went to 1881 for a light lunch for the first time. They were happily packed, and all the diners were voraciously downing their meals for a considerable time. I saw a beautiful " fish and chips platter" and will definitely come back to try it for dinner. The setting, ambiance are stellar! The main majestic thrilling lobby of this venerable giant ELEGANT old train station-- more beautiful than NYC and Boston's but similar to those in the Canadian Rockies ( took the Canadian Pacific northern route in 1970 w 70 lb backpack fr Vancouver to Detroit... unforgettable). This majestic rare location....makes the dining experience unique and wonderous! We both had excellent martinis expertly prepared and their famous French onion soup and salads. Our family ate croissant sandwiches and a wonderful egg dish. Beautiful exhilarating awe inspiring places like this have almost completely disappeared all across the USA. Old world cooking and meticulous good delicious seasoning is also FAST disappearing. Places like this desperately NEED us to survive. HIGHLY recommend!!! Enjoy!
