Kingfield is largely a residential area of single-family houses with some multiple unit residences and apartment buildings that sit on tree-lined streets. There are several commercial corners with businesses to serve the residents of Kingfield with a variety of goods and services. The Kingfield neighborhood has a reputation as a place where the people are willing to volunteer to create and maintain a vital, caring and safe place for those who live and work here. The neighborhood hosts a summer Farmer's Market and an annual art show. Kingfield is well served by bike lanes and public transit and has easy connections to downtown and the rest of the region via I-35W. (Description from livemsp.org)
SUNDAY PICK | 76 trombones, give or take 114
Quick—name Minnesota's horniest annual tradition! If you didn't say the annual Minneapolis Trombone Choir Concert, get your mind out of the gutter!

But wait, there's more: the performers will then back that brass up and remount the stage for a braying encore, after which they'll finally call it a night, exhausted but satisfied. Did I mention this all takes place in a church?
