This Minnesota Chocolate Shop on the Mississippi Is Still Making Fresh Chocolates by Hand

A chocolate turtle in this shop can come with its own pitch about real endangered turtles. I love that a candy counter might teach you something while it tempts you. The chocolates are made fresh, and some are shaped to honor the wildlife that lives along the river. Then there’s a back room where the windows look straight out at the Mississippi.

Under Two Hours From Minneapolis Is Minnesota's State Park With Scenic Camping, Wildlife, And Trails

Minnesota is a state rich in outdoor recreational opportunities. Many of these activities are enhanced by (or possibly due to) the vast amount of water in the state. "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" is actually home to nearly 12,000 water bodies larger than 10 acres, many of which can be found within one of Minnesota's 64 state parks. One of those state parks is nestled along the shores of the largest lake found on the country's largest river. However, Frontenac State Park isn't just about water; visitors can enjoy wildlife watching, hiking, mountain biking, camping, and more. Even better, it is just over an hour from downtown Minneapolis, making it a convenient and easy-to-reach getaway.

Mighty Fine! Coffee Co. opens new drive-thru location

Mighty Fine! Coffee Company opened its drive-thru location Monday at 127 14th St. NW, Faribault, after working to keep the building intact to preserve its history. The new location also has a counter inside and seating for those who want to order their drink that way. Lines of cars go through the drive-thru despite a broken speaker, according to co-owner Nathaniel Cunningham. “The community’s been real nice to us, and a lot of people are happy to see us here,” Cunningham said. In previous reporting from the Faribault Daily News, fellow co-owner Jordan Brennan said he wanted to revitalize the building — which previously held a laundromat — and protect the town’s history. Although the building needed a remodeling on the inside, the only change to the outside was to pain the walls green. Also a major part of the reopening plan was keeping the original sign post outside of the building. The Faribault City Council voted to allow the coffee shop to use the sign to advertise the drive-thru. “We kept the sign that’s been there for about 70 years, so we have a new sign coming up here in the middle of November,” Cunningham said. While the drive-thru
