The one nearest me (Lakeville) is in a strip mall, the other two in
Meen-ah-soh-ta are in the city ‹ I don't know what "old town" means.
The one in Minneapolis is in the heart of Yuppiedom and the one in St.
Paul is on St. Paul's Grand Avenue, a mix of retail and residential.
The Lakeville location used to be in Savage ‹ in a strip mall there,
too. I never could figure out what the heck they were doing there
except that the rent must've been reasonable. They were there for only
a couple years, I think.
