Smoked salmon is one of the most talked-about items at a small butcher shop in the middle of Minnesota corn country. That alone made me stop scrolling. The surprises keep stacking up. This little meat counter also turns out jerky, cheddar brats, old-fashioned wieners, and bologna with a loyal following.

B & J Evergreen Grows Families

It takes a decade to grow a Christmas tree, but for the Johnson family, it’s taken four generations to grow B & J Evergreen. Seventy years ago, Wally Johnson started a tree farm in Clear Lake, MN, so that his family would not have to spend their summers in the cities. He and his wife owned a cabin on Lake Julia, one of the Briggs Lake chain of lakes. Wally worked for Donaldson Manufacturing and wanted to teach his son how to work.

Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.

5 Minnesota Enclosed Malls That Opened Before 1970 and Still Operate in 2026.

On October 8, 1956, Southdale Center opened in Edina, Minnesota. No shopping mall in the United States had been fully enclosed and climate-controlled before it. The Dayton family had hired the architect Victor Gruen, and his plan set two levels of stores around a garden court under a large skylight, with Dayton's anchoring one end and Donaldson's the opposite one.

St. Paul's 900-Ton Mansion Crawled Five Blocks to Dodge the Wrecking Ball

A 900-ton Victorian duplex once crept through downtown St. Paul at a crawling 20 feet per hour, lifted with hydraulic jacks and conveyed on wheeled dollies past onlookers, to escape a date with the wrecking ball. Twenty-five years later, the Armstrong-Quinlan House still stands in the Irvine Park neighborhood — though its path there, and the years of struggle that followed, make for one of the stranger chapters in the city's preservation history.
