Battle Creek · Saint Paul · District 1
This is the walking tour of 30 South B Street. Big lots. Old oaks. Fall color. Out here, it doesn’t actually feel like the rest of St. Paul.
Get new Battle Creek homes from me every week. You’ll get a short invite from Compass to set it up. Add your mobile only if you’d like Geoffrey to text you.

The tour, on a map
Ha Tien is my usual stop. Los Ocampo, Tea House, and Sabores are nearby options. I’m naming them because they’re close, not because they’re my personal favorites.

Worth knowing
District 1 is Eastview, Conway, Battle Creek, and Highwood, plus the regional park. Battle Creek has no separate city boundary.
The park is about 5 minutes, by Lower Afton and McKnight. Trails, machine-made-snow skiing, a sledding hill. Regions Hospital is about 9 minutes, at 640 Jackson Street. Downtown is about 11 minutes, and I-94 is a quick hop.
Ha Tien is my usual stop. Los Ocampo, Tea House, and Sabores are nearby options, not my personal favorites.
Ha Tien is at 1959 Suburban, about 4 minutes. Deli, roast pork and duck, and bánh mì made to order. Son and Ne Dao have run it since 1996. The building was a Byerly’s from 1971 until March 2016. They opened here on November 29, 2016.
The creek was named in 1842 for a clash between Dakota and Ojibwe people. It runs toward Pig’s Eye Lake. Highwood, just south, is named for the Highwood station. The walls in the tour are Sherwin-Williams Shoji White, SW 7042.
