LOCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCW is located in the Hamline Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. By keeping an eye out for the \u2018monumentous\u2019 smokestack, you can\u2019t miss the location.<\/p>\n\n\n

To avoid accidents stemming from their being only one ramp, underground parking is controlled by a light system based on the game<\/a> you learned as a child.<\/p>\n\n\n
