Highway Tour of Saint Paul

[roth1038]

I think it's annoying how the only way to get southbound on 35E from 94 eastbound is to exit onto kellogg avenue :P

[timid2]

Haven't lived there in 25 years, but lots of memories, Thanks for this video.

[aijunk2]

Have you ever down a tour of Des Moines. I assume you have or at least thought of it since you're close. If you have not, please do! :P

Good video.

[eluko79]

@aijunk2 Thanks. I'll have one up by this summer.

[jeffkvb1]

Whoooaaa, your exit at 2:11 was a little late, careful!

[dvferyance]

I will tell you were it's really unsafe to obey the speed limit and that is on the tri state in Chicago I was driving on it today doing almost 70 more than 10 over and still got passed.

[eluko79]

@dvferyance I know what you mean. I was on it the other day and had folks whizzing right by me.

[Bufnitoiul]

Besides the video, I also like the way you did that google earth "presentation".

[sinbarrerassoyasi]

[FreewayTitan]

What camera do you use?

[eluko79]

@FreewayTitan

I use the flip mino hd. It costs about $150. And with the k-lite codec added to the vista movie maker I can edit mp4 files in it.

lol "Heads up St. Louis". St. Louis is my hometown.

[Flyingfast79]

Very good video man, I love watching them!!!

[SouthwesternEagle]

Cool!!!! 8DDD

Thanks for directing me here. =)

[eluko79]

@SouthwesternEagle

Sure man thanks for the comment.

[FreewayTitan]

Thats a very good video indeed!

[CptSchmidt]

From what I can tell, St. Paul looks a lot like Halifax.

[CptSchmidt]

Very nice looking city!

I really like the treed median of the 35.

BTW... you almost missed your exit at 2:10 thanks to that Audi :P

[OnThatPowder]

awesome vid man!!  NIIIICE

[aswchris]

Awesome effects you used there, thumbs up! These cities seem to be older than most other cities in the Midwest/West.

[JcBrooks651]

is there gonna be a Minneapolis video like this?

[eluko79]

@JcBrooks651

Yeah but im going to wait till summer to do that one.

[FreewayBrent]

Excellent! That parkway stretch of I-35E is aesthetically quite attractive, although I would imagine it gets backed up fairly badly during rush hours.

Seriously, those are the best views I've ever seen of downtown St. Paul, either in pictures or in other videos. There's just *something* about their downtown skyline...I can't quite pinpoint it, but it's aesthetically both pleasing to look at, and quite impressive, height-wise, for a city of its size.

[eluko79]

@FreewayBrent

Yeah its a funky little town. Just trying to compete with its big sister on the other side.

Thanks for the comment Brent.

[FreewayBrent]

I've read up a lot on both Minneapolis and St. Paul...all of the interesting and atmospheric dining, shopping and nightlife strips in both cities. Coupled with the possibilities of getting out into the great outdoors, not too far north, it seems like a place I'd actually really enjoy living in. But only in the late spring to early fall months (despite the onslaught of mosquitoes). I'd probably go insane, come wintertime.

[2004JETTA]

that was awesome 100*/5

[CAMINOANDALUZ]

Fine job. nice music and amazing freeways. thanks!!

Luke,thanks for the ride...

[FunnyAussiie]

very cool mate!! :D

[TaGaMeMNoN1983]

Many wide highways for a city of it´s size when you compare it with an european one. Urban sparwl !

The Hiawatha Line and the proposed Central Corridor are a good (but late) start for a mass-transit network, but needs many extensions and branches to be useful.

How would I-94 look when gas hits 10$ a barrel?

[eluko79]

@TaGaMeMNoN1983

There would be a lot more electric cars if gas were that high. They would probably rebuild the streetcar system too, which was the best in the country at one time.

[aswchris]

@TaGaMeMNoN1983

How does the Netherlands look at $ 10 per gallon? Still congested with record traffic volumes... mobility is fairly price-inelastic, until you come to a point where getting to work costs more than you earn.

[Bryant5493]

One of your best videos to date, Luke.

5*****

[eluko79]

@Bryant5493

Thanks Bryant. It took a few rough drafts but I think I nailed it.

[Bryant5493]

@eluko79

You're welcome, man.

Flipping from northbound to southbound/eastbound to westbound like you did took some time, I know.

[Nexis4Jersey]

wow just wow , my eyes fell out & cried

[eluko79]

@Nexis4Jersey

Thanks Corey! That wasn't my intention though, honest!

[FreewayTitan]
