Love Metro Transit

So, lofty has to return to Florida (temporarily) today and just used Metro Trip Planner to find out that a 10:57 AM departure from the corner bus stop is in order for arrival at the airport at 11:24 AM. If you're waiting for light rail to be completed before giving transit a try in St. Paul, wait no longer. After just one quick trip to the airport on the 54 LTD, express service from Downtown, you'll be hooked-even if that's the only trip that's convenient for you. ($1.75 regular fare, $2.25 rush hour, discounts available on fare cards)

Plan your next trip here.

Back in Town

After a long hiatus in Florida, Lofty Ideal has returned to St. Paul (and sanity I might add, Dave Barry would never have become the wildly popular humor writer he is without the raw material Floridians supply). What a difference a few years makes. Lowertown is an almost completely different place-for one there seem to be people around all the time, even after 5:00PM. Yes, right here in St. Paul.

What does a person do upon returning to Minnesota? Why of course you seek out some great beer and some tots. The Bulldog, St. Paul provided a very satisfying flight of domestic beer and Cajun tots. Yum.
