Traveling down the city’s northern gateway of Lyndale Ave N from 49th, there are many community-minded businesses along this important commercial corridor. Many are small to midsized businesses offering special products and services for our community’s convenience. These businesses provide local jobs, often support more than one local community event or charity, and are an integral part of the safety and vitality of a community. These businesses as well as others along the corridor gratefully give our community its unique small-town feel in the big city. Keep our community businesses and our community strong: Shop locally!
