A beacon of light has emerged in the community for aging parents in need of a new home. TowerLight, a state-of-the-art new senior center on Wooddale Avenue in St. Louis Park, opening November 1, and the campus is expected to draw heavily from Edina and southwest Minneapolis residents.
European children’s clothing retailer Polarn O. Pyret (PO.P) is opening this fall at the Galleria. This will be PO.P’s fourth location in the United States, following a location in Greenwich, Conn., and two in New York City.
“USA! USA! USA!” was a household chant this past summer as we cheered our athletes to 104 medals at the London Olympics. The Paralympic Games, which took place August 29 to September 9 and showcased athletes with physical disabilities, didn’t command the same TV coverage, however.
Stand near the intersection of Valley View Road and Highway 100 today and you’ll see little trace of the Code family, who lived at the northeast corner of the crossroads for almost a century. But the pioneering family left an indelible mark on Edina’s church, school and community life.
This fall, Corset Styling is moving from its original Hopkins location into the old Alix in Candyland space on France Avenue. Along with the move comes an addition to the Corset Styling team--a partnership with Grant Whittaker Style.

Clothes Mentor, a resale retail franchise with eight metro locations, specializes in affordable new and gently used merchandise. The store carries sizes 0–26, including designer names.
Ashley Rooney, author of 100 Artists of the Midwest, included steel sculptor Michael Emmons of Edina in her book. Emmons described this recognition as “a little validation of being an artist.” Emmons’ journey with steel began when he started selling it.
With the London Olympics in the rearview mirror, do you miss watching swimming and diving events? Fear not—the Edina Girl’s swim and dive team has you covered. This month, the squad hopes to win the state championship for the third year in a row.
Thanksgiving is as much about family dynamics as it is about food. Tolstoy might have claimed that all happy families are alike, but we beg to differ. Any two happy families might also be eccentric, argumentative and opinionated—in drastically different ways.
It was 2 a.m. in the snowy streets of Shell Lake, Wisonsin, and a post-apocalyptic tragedy was unfolding. Under an inky-black canopy of pines, a handful of dedicated actors with ash-gray zombie makeup caked on their faces milled about in the frigid air.
Make your list. Check it twice—but not before reviewing our holiday gift guide. You won’t want to miss these hot-ticket items from eight popular local retailers.
Gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten sound innocent within the context of Edina’s affluent community, popping up in chemistry homework assignments or discussed at the local jewelry store. But in the eastern Congo, these minerals are the source of much conflict and bloodshed.
