Target store DT St. Paul? OK this topic raises my eyebrows. As someone considering moving back into St. Paul and looking for affordable options, this would be a huge plus.
Steve and I would love to move to DT St. Paul but some of the be downsides in no particular order are: Lack of parking - most condos only have space for 1 car and we are a 2 car household. Lack of shopping opportunities for everyday things like food, etc. Lack of convenient trasit - ie, Light Rail. Adding a Target Greatland store to DT would definitely make us look at DT as a very viable option. I hope this goes through!
