Now that Pajarito on West 7th is closed and Barrio in lowertown is long gone, where can a girl get the best margarita in Saint Paul?

What’s up, yall? I am making this post essentially just to vent because I have little faith there will be a desirable outcome. But I don’t want to annoy my fiancé by bitching and moaning more than I already have.

Today we took our daughter to the children’s museum and opted to park on the street rather than the parking ramp to save a few dollars. we were gifted a membership for Christmas but had only visited once before today and utilized the parking ramp then. Our 15 month old was growing restless by the time we were parking so we were excited to find a spot directly next to Mickey’s Diner. After downloading Passport Parking and not being able to locate our parking space for some reason. We pulled forward to a spot (6145) directly next to a pay station. I entered our parking space number and paid $6 for 2 hours. $6 seemed pretty high and I wondered if it even made a difference price wise if we would have just parked in the ramp. The receipt took genuinely 2 minutes to print and I could hear and see that both of my ladies were none too pleased with the amount of time this whole process had taken. But eventually it did print and showed that we were covered until 11:49am. Long story short when we came out at 11:30 we were greeted by a citation on our window issued an hour prior. since then I’ve rifled through our car, my pockets and wallet, her purse. Somewhere along the line I misplaced or discarded our receipt and now I’m going to to end up havin to pay a parking ticket that will probably run me $80-$100 (maybe more who even knows) when I was making An effort to save $3. This isn’t make or break money but we live paycheck to paycheck and with everything already getting so expensive these days I just can’t seem to shake my frustration with this matter. I’m sorry to anyone who is going to read this and feel I’ve wasted their time. The beginning was too long winded and the end too rushed to have properly captured my irritation. But it’s nap time and my daughter just fell asleep so I’m goin to try and catch up on a little rest myself while it’s available. Thank for reading if you made it this far. I realize my Feelings are justified but no one can do anything about it so this post is rendered useless to the reader. But I have nowhere else to air out this grievance. If you find yourself looking for a parking spot in St. Paul avoid spot 6145. I left a message with the city to report it broken and will call back Monday to hopefully speak with someone about it then as well.

(I'm sure this sub is inundated with posts like this, so in return I offer pictures of a stray cat at my current job named Diesel Exhaust Fluid. See attached, below.)

I might be moving to St. Paul from Chicago in the next few months for a new job. Does anyone have any neighborhood/suburb recommendations to look for apartments? Nothing crazy, I'm looking for 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom for up to $1k/mo. The corporate offices are just east of downtown, but more likely than not, I'll either have to go south to around Rosemount or Coates, or north to roughly Forest Lake or Wyoming each day.
