Traditional German Fare Has Filled The Tables At This 1930s-Era Tavern In New Ulm, Minnesota, For Generations

Ribs slathered in a house sauce so popular that people can buy it by the bottle to take home. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. Then I learned the ribs share a menu with schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, and something called sauerkraut balls. The setting is a tavern that dates back to the 1930s, filled with old-world decor.

A Historic Minnesota Building Hides One Of The State’s Most Romantic Italian Restaurants

Old bank vault doors still stand at both ends of this dining room. Instead of guarding cash, they now watch over plates of fresh pasta. One detail I find worth mentioning is the name itself. It comes from an Italian word for a bank vault or cellar, which feels like a wink at the building’s past.

HAPPY BUT NOT SATISFIED: Bluejays once again enter state playoffs with top south seed

After a thrilling comeback victory in the Section 3AAA championship, the Waseca Bluejays were obviously ecstatic making a return trip to the state tournament. But senior captain Brady McKenna made it clear in the huddle after the game: "I'm happy, I'm not satisfied. We got a lot of work to do." The Jays' season looked to be in doubt in the section title game against the Tri-City United Titans on Friday, Nov. 6 in New Ulm. They were trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up scoring 14 unanswered points to punch their return ticket to state and get revenge over TCU in dramatic fashion. The Titans handed the Jays their only defeat in the regular season. Waseca's second straight 3AAA championship comes after a remarkable 2025 season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and finish the season as the Class AAA runners-up. Now, there is no doubt that Waseca looks to continue their season for a few more weeks, hoping to make it back to the state championship game. "I'm really happy," McKenna told the Waseca County News after the section championship about the teams' goals past that. "We got a plan, it's just

New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available
