36 Years Later, A ‘Major Step’ Completed in Plymouth’s Station 73 Project

When a teenage Amy Klobuchar rode her bicycle on the shoulder along Highway 55 in the 1970s, the population of Plymouth was about 20,000 people. Klobuchar lived three blocks away from Highway 55, which now serves as a major east-west connection between the western suburbs and Minneapolis. Today, about 30,000 vehicles use Highway 55 daily in a city that has grown to roughly 80,000 people.

Minnetonka’s Heavenly Hunks Introduces Dupe Loops

The mini donuts join the brand’s allergen-friendly lineup of snacks. Heavenly Hunks evolved out of a simple mission: to create a cookie for everyone. Founder Casey Webber adapted his recipe for soft-baked oatmeal cookies to be vegan and gluten-free so his mom and sister could enjoy them too. Now, over a decade later, Heavenly Hunks is available nationwide, and the Minnetonka-based brand has introduced a new but equally inclusive snack for people with dietary sensitivities.

The Crimson lost 31-0 to the top seed in their region, ending their season with a 5-5 record in the round of 16 of the Class AAAAAA state tournament.

The Minneapolis Planning Commission voted Monday to approve JADT Development's proposal for Satori Senior, attaching 10 conditions to the market-rate active adult housing project at 1823–1839 Bryant Avenue North.

Indoor Activities for Kids in Minneapolis: A Maker Parent’s Winter Plan

In our house, winter is building season. By January the cardboard castle in the living room has usually been rebuilt twice, the couch cushions are load-bearing, and somebody wants to know why we can’t build a slide down the stairs. That’s usually the point where we pack the snow boots and head somewhere with a climbing frame bigger than anything I can make out of boxes.

Set The Hook Guide Service Launches New Ice Fishing Excursions

MINNETONKA, MN - November 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Set The Hook Guide Service, led by local angler Matthew Thompson, has announced the availability of guided winter excursions for the upcoming ice fishing season. Operating as an ice fishing guide in Minneapolis, MN, the company offers structured, single-day outings designed to introduce beginners to winter angling while accommodating experienced participants seeking local lake knowledge. Winter fishing on frozen lakes involves specialized drilling tools, variable ice surfaces, and shifting underwater fish locations that often present practical challenges for newcomers or travelers unfamiliar with regional waterways. Rather than focusing solely on harvest outcomes, the program emphasizes hands-on instruction, equipment familiarity, and adherence to established cold-weather procedures on metropolitan lakes. Through these scheduled trips, Set The Hook Guide Service provides residents and regional visitors with organized access to winter angling opportunities without requiring participants to own specialized winter gear.

Minneapolis Skyways Need a Better Map

Ask almost anyone working on downtown Minneapolis’s recovery about our skyways and the answer comes back as a leasing problem. Too many dark storefronts on the second level; the seemingly obvious fix is to fill them. I see the appeal—landlords desperately need that rent. But the belief that our skyways should keep doing the job they did in 1995, when downtown had a captive daytime workforce and retail with nowhere else to go, is the belief that keeps the system stuck.

Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible
