With all the negative real estate news over the last couple of years, it is good to hear any positive tidbits we can get our hands on. And that’s just what happened this morning on NBC’s Today Show where real estate legend Barbara Corcoran presented her list of cities on the brink of a recovery.

Its mantra is that it is “The most livable city in America.”
As you can guess, St. Paul was named after a Catholic saint. It all started like this … in 1841, a priest named Father Lucien Galtier came to a territory called Pig’s Eye to minister to local Catholic French Canadians who had migrated to the area. The priest built a chapel above the bluffs of the current day Lambert’s Landing in St. Paul and named it after his favorite [...]
