    "There are many, many dog owners in my neighborhood and I rarely see dog poop, do they seem to be responsible about picking it up. Several dog owners bring their dogs over to the school yard to play fetch but are always in verbal control of their dog."

    "6 blocks to Summit Ave & Grand Ave + 8-9 blocks to Cathedral Hill make this an area with lots to do. The area has arguably the best public schools in the city, perhaps even the Twin Cities & still has awesome old homes oozing with character at bargain prices. This area was bad news at one time but has now been gentrified. Take crime stats for Summit-U with a grain of salt as 80% of the crime happens in the 20% of Summit-U North of interstate 94, which is it's own separate world. Subtract that crime ridden area (again, separated by the freeway) & you have a neighborhood full of affordable classic homes for families, awesome parks, A-1 schools, easy freeway access, right in the heart of St Paul's trendiest shopping/food districts, only a mile or so from downtown St Paul & just a short jump on I94 to downtown Mpls."
