Mayor Brad Sutton - City Of Robbinsdale

I did some important “research” this weekend. And by research, I mean brunch.

Between Saturday and Sunday, we had the chance to enjoy two amazing Birdtown spots: Marna’s Eatery & Lounge and The Birdhouse Eat & Drink.

Both delivered on the food, service, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer (Marna’s bottomless mimosas were also enthusiastically sampled in the interest of conducting a thorough civic review).

If you’re looking for weekend brunch plans, keep it local and put Marna’s and The Birdhouse on your list.

And be sure to check out CCX Media’s Stories Behind the Storefront series to learn more about these restaurants and why they chose Robbinsdale to hang their shingle:

Today, Robbinsdale lost a true legend with the passing of Gordy Lindenfelser. For decades, Gordy owned and carried on Hackenmueller’s Meats, after buying it in 1979 from Herbert and Harold Hackenmueller, and he helped preserve one of the most cherished small businesses in our community.

Hackenmueller’s has always been more than a butcher shop. It has been a place where neighbors ran into neighbors, where families shopped for generations, and where people knew they would be greeted with the kind of small-town friendliness that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Whenever I tell people I’m from Robbinsdale, Hackenmueller’s almost always comes up. People go on an on about Hacks as a place they know, a place they shopped, a place their parents or grandparents shopped, and a place they remember for its quality and its character. That says everything about the legacy Gordy built.

My sincere condolences to Gordy’s family, friends, and all of us who feel the pain of Gordy’s passing.

Thank you, Gordy, for what you meant to Robbinsdale and for helping make our town special.

Happy 4th of July and 250th anniversary!

This country has never been perfect. But it remains one of the greatest forces for freedom, opportunity, and progress the world has ever seen. We do not honor our history by ignoring its failures, and we do not move forward by letting those failures define us. Both truths matter.

People around the world still look to America with admiration. I am thankful for the reminders FIFA fans have been posting about how amazing our country, our energy, and our people are. We are lucky to live here.

The freedoms we enjoy were earned by those who believed in something bigger than themselves. That legacy carries responsibility. It is on us to protect it and to keep building something better. That takes more than opinions. It takes showing up, listening, and finding common ground even when we disagree.

You do not have to believe America is flawless to believe it is worth celebrating and worth fighting for, together.

Happy 250th! God bless America!!!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures who keep the dad jokes flowing. Thank you for the love, late nights, and everyday leadership you show at home and in our community.

Today, we pause as a community to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, and to remember that the freedoms we enjoy were paid for at a tremendous cost. I invite all of us to move beyond simply marking a holiday and instead embrace a day of solemn reflection and extend gratitude to those who have lost a loved one in uniform. May we remember not just today, but every day, that our way of life has been safeguarded by those who stood in harm’s way and did not come home.

I’m not saying the other bartenders won’t make good drinks. I’m just here to tell you they won’t be makin’ a Hackenmueller’s bacon old-fashioned. Come on down to Wicked Wort Brewing Co. on Saturday and support the Robbinsdale Lions. If you’re looking for what I got, 4pm to 5pm is your slot.

That's odd, I thought it would be big news. There seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A head line regarding the mass awareness of a certain avian variety. Have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard. Oh..there it is….

We bet you've heard the iconic 1963 hit "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen. These rockers, who formed in 1962, hail from Robbinsdale, a town bursting with famous Minnesotans like wrestling legend Vern Gagne and award-winning baker Marjorie Johnson. Minnesota Live's photojournalist Bill Middeke takes us....
