Expedition Autoworks is a great place to go for auto repair if you own a Land Rover or BMW. We took our Land Rover Discovery there this spring for its 30,000 mile tune up. We received excellent service for a relatively reasonable price. The owners of Expedition used to work at the Eden Prairie Land Rover Dealership. They now own their own place and own Land Rovers themselves. They are experts when it comes to Land Rovers. It is also a lot cheaper than going to the dealer.

Ever wanted to help starving children across the world, but didn't know how. Well, this is the place for you. At Feed My Starving Children you take two hours out of your day and you along with about 30-40 people help package over 10,000 meals.
At FMSC $.94 of every dollar donated goes directly to helping people. They are one of ten non profits in the Twin Cities that can claim this.
FSMC had the food scientist at General Mills, Pillsbury and Cargill creat a rice mixture that is nutritious, tastes good and helps keep kids from dying.
This is an amazing place and in two hours you can do so much to help. If you are looking for a good place to volunteer, take your kids or whatever - GO!

If you haven't seen this new library, you really should check it out. It has been completely redone as of the past year or so and it is amazing!
The architecture is very unique, they have new technology like an automated book check-in system as well as auto check out kiosks. You never have to worry about not getting a computer to surf at - they have over 30(new wifi connection too)!
They have a large selection of materials, but you won't find a good selection of DVD's, you will have to go to another Hennepin County Library for those or you could place titles on hold and pick up here or the library of your choice.
There is a cafe right outside of the library where you can grab a coffee, soda, juice and/or snack. Another perk - it is in the same building as the license bureau, so you can get a lot done when you come here.
Oh, if you have little ones - they have a play room and many kids books, puppets, and special activities. You can go to their website to see upcoming events.

This is our favorite local public library. It has been remodled and updated and is just great. It is large and well stocked.
It features huge banks of computers all over in each section that are age appropriate in contents and programs and internet access. There are quiet rooms for meetings or study groups so you do not disturb others in the library. :)
The kids section is great with a huge cartoon scuplture, castle puppet play house with puppets, a dragon bookshelf and computers with educational software.

I have been attending this church since my husband and I moved to the Twin Cities in May 2005. We were warmly welcomed by the church and invited to become involved quickly. The people within the congregation are some of the most friendly people that I have ever encountered. In addition, the preaching/ teaching is very good. It is stimulating and keeps you interested while still staying Biblically-sound and encouraging the congregation to seek God. I would encourage you to visit. It is located just south of 50th and france in Edina, Minnesota.

This is Our Home church for the last 3 years and we highly recommend it.
It is truly a place for anyone and everyone. Christian in doctrine and loving in mission. The senior and associate pastors are excellent speakers and God led individuals. The worship is wonderful and mainly consist of a contemporary mix of R&B, Gospel & Hip Hop. It is accepting of all styles and you may even catch a country tune, a hymn, an alternative rock band or a rapper on any given Sunday. You will not doze in this service!
They also have an excellent childrens program durring the service and throughout the week you can hook up with one of many smaller groups. Another facet is the Sanctuary CDC [community decvelopement corporation] which is it's own entity that provides services for the community. We currently meet in the auditorium of Anwattin Middle school, have during the week services at First Covenant in Downtown MPLS, and have offices in on Golden Valley Road. The vision is uncompromisingly focused on loving and changing circumstances in North Minneapolis.
Check out the website, call or email them, or even email me personally for more details!

Our youngest daughter just started there this year and couldn't be happier! Neighborhood Children's House is truly a little gem hidden in Nordeast!!

Wicked, the Musical is honestly one of the best musical's I have ever been to. Okay - so to tell the truth - I don't go to a lot of musicals - but this was still on the top of my list.
Check out the website to see the tour schedule and more information:
www.wickedthemusical.com
This play is based on the book "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by
by Gregory Maguire. I had bought the book before the play and never got around to reading it. But now I want to go back and read it!
It tells the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North as young adults in college as well as other characters from the story. The characters are well thought out and it does a great job at pulling together portions of the Wizard of Oz story. It is a great twist on a classic story! I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance!
I went to the play at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, MN.

The Shout House is so much fun! It is a dueling piano bar with a ton of atmosphere. It is fun to spend an entire night there with friends. The pianists have incredible talent! They play requests in addition to some of their favorites. The audience is always brought into it and encouraged to get involved. They have free popcorn and a lot of drinks. They could offer more of a menu and probably create even more hype!
