So, our Capitol, in MN, is in Saint Paul but, Saint Paul is a capital city?
Hmmm…funny how typing something, instead of just reading it, can suddenly make things ‘click.’ I guess I knew this but didn’t know I did. I live in Saint Paul and have worked at the Capitol. But I have also written about Saint Paul as a capital city. I guess I’m smarter than I even know!
