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.

A retired couple’s dream home in Minneapolis with Mississippi River views

Olson Kundig lifts the living spaces into the tree canopy, just across from the Mississippi River. This dream home in Minneapolis was designed by Olson Kundig for a retired couple who moved back to Minnesota from Colorado. They had wanted to build a house with an architect for most of their lives, and the husband had long admired the work of Tom Kundig. They found their lot on the river bluff, with the Mississippi River parkway right across the street and the downtown skyline just a few miles away.

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.

The buyer of a Minneapolis skyscraper has skipped paying property taxes

The local company that bought the Ameriprise Financial Center skyscraper nearly two years ago for a shockingly low price of $6.25 million has missed both property tax payments this year, according to county data. Why it matters: This is another sign of distress for downtown Minneapolis' office market and helps explain why buildings are trading for so little. You can buy a 31-story tower for $6.25 million, but then you have to pay a property tax bill of $1.5 million, plus energy, maintenance and security costs. The intrigue: It's unclear why Minnetonka-based Onward Investors didn't make two $777,118 tax payments that were due in May and October. It also owes $155,438 in late fees, according to Hennepin County records as of Friday. The firm is current on its taxes for the nearby iconic Wells Fargo Center, which it bought around the same time. Onward did not respond to multiple requests for comment. What they're saying: The city said it wouldn't comment because there's an appeal filed by the landlord in Minnesota Tax Court. However, the city did not provide a case number when asked. Between the lines: It's easy to see why Onward is appealing the valuation. The city's 2026
