This Century-Old Minnesota Meat Market Still Does Things The Old-Fashioned Way

Some of the knives behind this butcher counter have been slicing meat for decades. Not years. Decades. That alone made me curious. The shop sits on the exact spot where a meat market first opened in 1891, and it never moved. Here in Minnesota, the butchers still cut by hand...

St. Cloud contractor ordered to pay $1.1M after fraud judgment

The owner of St. Cloud-based contractor Affordable Home Remodeling, LLC, has been ordered to pay $1.1 million in restitution costs for fraud. Attorney General Keith Ellision announced Nov. 3 that a district court judge had passed judgment on Ryan Pietron for collecting tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for expensive remodeling services that were never performed. Pietron, according to a press release, was never licensed and was banned by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry from claiming to be a licensed contractor, but told customers he was licensed anyway. He issued fake progress updates, the release stated, including in one case by forging a phony invoice from a real supplier claiming he had placed an order that never existed. A 2025 announcement from Ellison stated he had been banned from applying for a contractor's license for previously claiming he was licensed when he hadn't been. Pietron performed demolition work or no work at all before cutting contact with the victim, whom he’d already collected money from. Some, the release stated, victims managed to track him down and secure a promise of a refund, which he broke. He collected about $518,000 overall in his scheme. The order states Pietron
