Why am I discussing this beverage? Because it was in the small $8 Arnold Palmer at the State Fair, combined with a store-bought lemonade. I'm glad I didn't get the $15 watermelon Palmer. The grilled peach is a brilliant invention, expertly prepared for the second year in a row, and I'm not sure how many points should be taken off for something that isn't part of the day-to-day activities. But I don't want an $8 beverage that's 50% Gold Peak, especially from a place with farm-to-table vibes. I don't think state fair drinks have to be exclusively made with filtered rainwater from Grand Marais, but let customers choose whether to pay extra for the good stuff or just get a Pepsi.

I live nearby the Produce Exchange at the Midtown Global Market in South Minneapolis. The…read moreproprietor of this boutique grocery store is Kevin Hannigan, a down to earth young guy who is highly conversant with food. I can't even remember all the ways now. When I asked him to special order an item, he ordered a whole case to keep on hand for me. They sell gummy products which help with my pain and sleeplessness. His staff have been incredibly helpful, friendly and supportive to me. A special favorite of mine is the kombucha selection and the incredible freshness of the produce. Of course , items after the freshness date are sold discounted and I understand are forwarded to those with little access to food. Don't miss this Southside treasure! - DavidF

So cool! We stopped by to see what all there was to offer…read more Loved the cooking supplies and food items. We needed up getting all kinds of random stuff for our kitchen and from my hubby's classroom. I think we spend 2 hours looking around. Checking out, the two women were lovely.

Dropped by for the Eagan Market Fest at the Eagan Community Center (select Wednesdays), but I was a…read morebit early for doors so I decided to go exploring the surrounding park grounds. It's not much in the way of hiking, as the longest path/loop is only a mile long and fully paved with asphalt, but it's got a lot of amenities that would make for an excellent visit during warmer months. This includes a kid's playground, an extensive fitness zone, a splash pad (with toilets and water fountain-- not operating during winter), a bandshell, and a sizable festival grounds. On the other end of the park (near Pilot Knob) there's a gazebo structure with more seasonal restrooms/water fountain, with a multitude of picnic tables, trash/recycling, and grills that would be excellent for outdoor get-togethers. There is parking at both this location and by the splash pad, as well as the massive lot attached to the community center. There's a couple small lakes and plenty of trees, so it's a nice little retreat (even if right across the street is a massive outdoor shopping center...).

Now, they like to work out at the Core Valley area (we call it Ninja Warrior Park), while I walk the lovely trails around the pond area. The band shell has some free performances sometimes. My fav feature is the cute gazebo and bridge next to the pond. A very well thought out park for so many uses, including art fairs, food truck fairs, a weekly farmer's market and even a huge July 4th celebration. The Eagan Community Center building is conveniently located the middle of the park.

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

I feel like it used to be much livelier years ago. I went this year to Volunteer and noticed a lot…read moreof places were vacant/closed. Seems like they are trying to bring people back by hosting more events (they've always had events but really pushing for the community to out). They still have some decent food options. Sad about Slice closing before I had to a chance to check them out. Still a few shops and produce vendors. I was born and raised for a bit in South Mpls and I find this area to be a bit challenging sometimes especially with them narrowing Lake Street down to single lanes. Makes me avoid the area as a whole. Definitely not MGM fault but generally unfortunate. You do have to pay for parking, ramp or metered. Or you could be lucky and find a spot around the neighborhood and walk over.

If they could change that beeping noise/blare/alarm/punitive sound I'd probably come more often. Can't the checkout barcode reader be a pleasant ping? I know it can!

As I heard the cashier say to a new customer, "We do it a bit different here"…read more Aldi is a low cost grocer. They aren't trying to replace Whole Foods or your local specialty grocery store. They are going after those of us that value price above all else. They have most of the staples but not all of them. They offer some name brands randomly but mostly they have house brands you have never heard of. Some people like to harp on the quality of the goods here. In my experience this is complete nonsense. I have been shopping at Aldi on and off for about 2 years and never have I bought a product I thought was inferior to what I've purchased at Cub Foods, Kowalskis, Wal-Mart, or Trader Joes for that matter. The prices really are cheaper. Many packages are smaller, but you can do the numbers yourself and you will find that the value exists. They save a bit by adding in some quirky bits you may be thrown off by. For example: 1.You need a quarter for a deposit on your cart 2.They charge for any bags 3.The cashier will not bag and will instead put your items right back in your cart for you to bag 4.They don't carry every little item that costs them extra to carry. Overall, I like the convenience and prices here. No frills shopping with quality products. Give it a try but bring an open mind!

Such a wonderful place and they even carry some products that I usually can't find and normally make special trips for. I'm happily going to start becoming a regular for so many reasons. I have never seen a place like this that truly helps the community. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting local!
