ilmkmom:

Not sure if you made your visit yet. You’ll find lots of interesting restaurants in the miles up and down Grand Avenue, including near campus. It’s also fun to drive up and down Summit Ave., paralleling Grand one block north. There are many restored old homes here, older as you approach downtown, that gives you a sense of St. Paul’s history.

To get to Carleton I suggest you go east down Grand until you get to the somewhat undermarked exit ramp that takes you down to the spur called Ayd Mill Road. Take that south until it merges onto 35E, and take 35E south until it merges with 35W (in Burnsville) and forms 35 that goes to Northfield. Traffic on this route should be relatively free-flowing even on a weekday morning (about 45 minutes to Northfield). Don’t try to work your way over to Minneapolis and 35W to go south. Much more of a headache.
