SCENE NOVEMBER - Mexican restaurants bring the heat and flavor in Southern Minnesota

When I was a 7-year-old youngster growing up in North Mankato, the Pfau family opened Mankato’s first Taco John’s. Though my family heritage is traced primarily to ancestors from the British Isles, I was the beneficiary of parents who were enthusiastic cross-cultural eaters. (I could have easily done without my dad’s predilection for braunschweiger sandwiches though.) And while my mom was an experienced cook with Depression-era roots who could whip up terrific and economical entrées on the fly, she was also a busy public school teacher who never hesitated to pick up fast food or suggest our family eat dinner at Happy Chef or Country Kitchen when she was just too tired to produce a made-from-scratch meal at the end of a long work day. Hence, I was familiar from a young age with the taste sensations of Tastee Freez malts and fries, Pagliai’s pizza, Robby’s hamburgers and Country Boy (or Country Girl) burger baskets. But when Taco John’s hit town, their soft-shell tacos, sour cream-drenched super burritos, cinnamon sugar-topped apple grandés and Taco Tuesday specials stole my heart. Was Taco John’s menu anywhere close to representing authentic Mexican cuisine? That’s highly questionable, but the palate pleasure it provided whet

Long-awaited animal shelter nears fundraising finish line

The wait for an animal shelter in Steele County has stretched on longer than anyone expected, but the volunteers guiding the project have announced they’re finally close to meeting their goal. After several years of fundraising, they hope to have the shelter up and running soon. Construction is nearly complete on the facility, which stands next to Lake Chase Dog Park. Steele County Humane Society board members Liane Peterson and Deb Singelstad predicted an opening date early next year. Although it was originally budgeted at $2 million, repeated delays and soaring construction costs have pushed the actual price tag closer to $2.4 million. More than once, construction has paused to allow fundraising to catch up. They’re currently seeking “a couple hundred thousand” to finish the building, purchase furnishings and fixtures and give them the initial operating funds they need. Singelstad said that even now a handful of large donations could advance the project’s timeline. “Once we get open, it’s going to be a big asset to Steele County. We’ll be able to house these animals that need help,” she said. Crews are in the third and final stage of construction, installing ceiling grids, electric fixtures, kennels and other necessities.

Minnesota Quilters Lose Track Of Time Inside This Sprawling Fabric Shop In Hutchinson

Some quilters plan a quick stop for one fat quarter and leave hours later with a full bag and a new project in mind. In Hutchinson, that happens a lot. One shop on the main drag has a sale room, a second floor built for sewing, and a staff known for walking people straight to the bolt they need.

St. Peter Community Center to receive indoor playground

A proposal to bring an indoor playground to the St. Peter Community Center is moving forward on a divided vote. In a 5-2 decision, the St. Peter City Council backed a measure to spend $101,000 on the purchase of an indoor playground geared towards ages 5 to 12. A climbable course equipped with a slide and obstacles to squeeze through, the facility offers kids opportunities to climb, play and stay active during the long Minnesota winter. While council members generally agreed on the need for more indoor recreational opportunities for children, the debate centered on whether the proposed playground would provide enough value for its cost and if the city should save its cash for a more ambitious playground in the future. Recreation Director Ryan Yunkers said the playground would fill a gap in the Community Center’s existing recreational offerings, particularly for children who have outgrown Creative Play Place, which primarily serves toddlers and younger children. The project would transform space formerly occupied by Rock Bend Academy into an indoor playground designed for children ages 5 to 12, providing opportunities to climb, play and stay active during Minnesota’s long winters and inclement weather throughout the year. “I think it’s a
