JSDL,
Here is a number of a guy running a crashpad in MSP (2187798656). I am in it right now, and its 190 a month, right by the Mall of America, which is about a 5min walk to the light rail. I am not sure if there are any openings at the moment, but it seems like there are people coming and going. I will actually be moving out at the end of december so I can hold a line in DTW. If there is a spot, I would take it, its a really nice crashpad and all the guys here (Mainly NWA, and XJ pilot) are really cool.
Hope it helps man, and good luck
