Could have been better
I live in Saint Paul, the content is not without interest and accurate but sparse - be sure to download all the chapters before starting. No maps, pictures, etc. only works if you are actually there and willing to wait for scraps of information in between music that few will enjoy. Saint Paul is more interesting than this tour would lead you to believe.
