The Hill House - Saint Paul
The Hill House

Nicknamed "The Capital City", "The Saintly City", "Pig's Eye", or "The Silver City", St. Paul is the state capital of Minnesota.

The Mississippi River flows through the city and it adjoins Minneapolis. The two cities are known as the "Twin Cities".

St. Paul is home to the Minnesota State Fair and the Capitol Building. It does not have a real "city" feel but it is charming. It has wonderful architecture and I very much liked this city.

    I have always been curious about St. Paul - what a great picture of it you have given here. It's a place I would enjoy visiting. specially when "State Fair "was there. Now I want to watch my old 1945 Movie on DVD
