In my neighborhood, locates the state trail that can take you just about anywhere, up north and south of the state. I have a smaller size version of the great beautiful Minnesota woods for my backyard and very friendly neighbors. If I could choose to live here again in this mid-size neighborhood I would. I've met many wonderful friends, and create've much amazing and unforgettable memories just within my neighborhood.

This neighborhood on the east side of Saint Paul is very diverse. But nowadays, it's become a bit frightening---an increase of violence. I'm thankful that nothing has happened on my street yet, but the incidents are still incredibly close and it worries me. Love my neighborhood for its diversity, but it doesn't feel as safe anymore unfortunately.
