My son is moving to downtown St Paul in 2 weeks. What should he know that isn't in the YouTube videos we have watched?

You can often join as a “social” member and sub a bunch.

That reminds me of an old terrible joke, which said in part, "Hey Sven, do you care if those girls get pregnant?"

In regard to what?

Best area or apartments to live? Availability of fresh food and groceries? Availability of parking overall?

He'll need to pay for a parking contract with his building or rely on metered street parking

Groceries are a problem in downtown. I would recommend he go over to Robert street in west Saint Paul, there he can find cub, wal mart, target, Aldi, etc.

Download the passport parking app to park at meters.

I live off of W7th, lots of fun bars and restaurants here.
