Shavelle Devine pulled up to the drive-through window at a Faribault Burger King on Halloween and found the employee working the register with her face covered in dark makeup. Devine recorded the encounter, and in the video the employee tells her, “I'm just Black today,” later adding, “I just wanted to be Black.” Devine has since filed a discrimination charge against the restaurant under Minnesota civil rights law.

Straight River Arts installs first in series of new public artworks

Straight River Arts installed the first of several works of public art Tuesday at Buckham Memorial Library. The arts organization partnered with Faribault Parks and Recreation and the Paradise Center for the Arts for the project, a 9-foot set of wind chimes with a fleur-de-lis hanging from the bottom. The organizations received a grant from the Faribault Economic Development Authority to fund the artworks. “It’s been a really amazing process,” artist and Straight River Arts co-founder Jessica Prill said. “The support that we have gotten from the city has been really great.” Prill created the wind chimes along with her husband, Matt Leister. Prill described the division of labor as her having more creative control over the project, while Leister did more of the engineering needed for the chimes, “He did all the hard parts,” Prill said. “I was the concept, he was the math. He went in and figured out how to get each pipe to have a specific note, and then a chord, and researched all of the things that are required to give it actual tuning and how to make it structural so that it could hang outdoors and be safe and last.” Prill’s inspiration behind this

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.

Fried Cheese Curds And Malts Come Straight From The Kitchen At This Retro Cafe Tucked Into Downtown Red Wing

This Historic Minnesota Restaurant Was Once A Stagecoach Stop Before Minnesota Even Became A State

A stone doorstep at one old Minnesota restaurant is worn down by more than a century of footsteps. That groove started forming when stagecoaches still rolled up outside. The first version was a tiny log hotel, just 16 by 24 feet. It opened in 1854, four years before Minnesota was even a state. Mail carriers and weary travelers stopped there on long trips west.
