St. Charles moves forward with South Fork housing development

With a shortage of available housing lots and growing concerns about affordability, the city of St. Charles is taking a more active role in residential development through its South Fork Community Development Initiative, a project officials hope will bring more than 120 housing units to the community. The city is preparing land in the South Fork neighborhood for a variety of potential housing options, including single-family homes, twinhomes, duplexes, townhomes and a possible apartment complex. The initiative is intended to make residential construction more attainable by having the city prepare the land and infrastructure before private builders and individual homeowners take over construction. The hope is for construction to begin in Spring 2027.

This Historic Minnesota Restaurant Was Once A Stagecoach Stop Before Minnesota Even Became A State

A stone doorstep at one old Minnesota restaurant is worn down by more than a century of footsteps. That groove started forming when stagecoaches still rolled up outside. The first version was a tiny log hotel, just 16 by 24 feet. It opened in 1854, four years before Minnesota was even a state. Mail carriers and weary travelers stopped there on long trips west.
