Highway Tour of Saint Paul

A trip through the capital city of Minnesota showing off the highways and byways. Views of 35E, 94, and 52 can be seen along the way. As well as some pretty awesome views of downtown St Paul. I captured some shots of the Mississippi flooding from the top of the Lafayette Bridge too. I also found a codec to make my intros look better and a lot easier to make.

I've read up a lot on both Minneapolis and St. Paul...all of the interesting and atmospheric dining, shopping and nightlife strips in both cities. Coupled with the possibilities of getting out into the great outdoors, not too far north, it seems like a place I'd actually really enjoy living in. But only in the late spring to early fall months (despite the onslaught of mosquitoes). I'd probably go insane, come wintertime.

Awesome effects you used there, thumbs up! These cities seem to be older than most other cities in the Midwest/West.

Haven't lived there in 25 years, but lots of memories, Thanks for this video.

I am visiting Minnesota in 2022, TAKE THAT TO THE BANK! I just can’t wait to go and tour “The Land of 10, 000 Lakes”.

Very nice looking city!
I really like the treed median of the 35.
BTW... you almost missed your exit at 2:10 thanks to that Audi :P

Excellent! That parkway stretch of I-35E is aesthetically quite attractive, although I would imagine it gets backed up fairly badly during rush hours.

Seriously, those are the best views I've ever seen of downtown St. Paul, either in pictures or in other videos. There's just *something* about their downtown skyline...I can't quite pinpoint it, but it's aesthetically both pleasing to look at, and quite impressive, height-wise, for a city of its size.

can U plz do a tour of columbus OH. its only like 120 miles south of cleavland and and u can get there from st. louis, and kansas city via. I-70

[TaGaMeMNoN]

Many wide highways for a city of it´s size when you compare it with an european one. Urban sparwl !
The Hiawatha Line and the proposed Central Corridor are a good (but late) start for a mass-transit network, but needs many extensions and branches to be useful.
How would I-94 look when gas hits 10$ a barrel?

How does the Netherlands look at $ 10 per gallon? Still congested with record traffic volumes... mobility is fairly price-inelastic, until you come to a point where getting to work costs more than you earn.

[joek]

yeah, that section iof 35e is known as the "practice freeway". NOBODY actually follows the 45 limit.

[aijunk]

Have you ever down a tour of Des Moines. I assume you have or at least thought of it since you're close. If you have not, please do! :P
Good video.

Is that Interstate 5 on the W. 7th Street off ramp?  I live in Los Angeles and I-5 goes from Los Angeles, South to Anaheim/Santa Ana all the way down to San Diego and Tijuana(At the Mexican Border).  So there is no way that there could be an Interstate 5 in the middle of Minnesota especially when it goes up and down the Pacific Coast from Tijuana, Mexico all the way North to Vancouver, Canada.

[cheezebs]

lol "Heads up St. Louis". St. Louis is my hometown.

[CptSchmidt]

From what I can tell, St. Paul looks a lot like Halifax.

[Jiltedin]

What's the name of this Background Music?  Someone tell me please!

[mattanderson]

Was there ever supposed to be a tie-in between Shortline Road and I-94 around Snelling Ave.
