Lac du Bois (camp)

Lac du Bois ("Lake of the Woods" in French) is a French language and culture camp at the Concordia Language Villages based in Minnesota. As with the other Concordia Language Village programs, it is a language immersion program. The Lac du Bois experience is offered in Bemidji, MN. A second site, Voyageurs (camp), provides similar language learning with a different curriculum and structure. All Concordia Language Villages programs are accredited by the American Camp Association. Facilities The Lac du Bois site is located on Turtle River Lake with several other Language Villages (Skogfjorden, Salolampi, El Lago del Bosque, Lesnoe Ozero, Waldsee) near Bemidji, Minnesota. The site features French style architecture, including three sets of cabins that reflect the regional architecture of Corse, Bretagne and Provence. At the center of each of the main regions lies a main building, flanked on each corner by a cabin. The main buildings, called Le marché ("The market") and La grange ("The barn") respectively, each contain showers, sinks, and toilets, one large carpeted room upstairs, and a basement. The basement of La grange is called Beaux-Arts, an arts-and-crafts area where villagers do activities such as collage, making friendship bracelets, and painting. There is also a regulation pétanque or boules court, and a small store that sells village-themed items such as t-shirts, French-language books, and stuffed animals. A counter located in the main foyer of the Paris building called "Sucré Coeur" (a pun on the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur, Paris) sells European candy and treats, and a pop-up café called Café Danièle sells both American and European sodas and beverages. Lac du Bois has a lakefront beach on Turtle River Lake, with a dock painted with the flags of various Francophone countries and territories.

Como Lake (Minnesota)

Como Lake is a 70.5-acre (285,000 m2) lake up to 15.5 feet (4.7 m) deep in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States. It, along with the neighboring Como Park, has been a recreation area for residents of the Twin Cities for more than a century. It was named in 1848 by local farmer Charles Perry. A pavilion sits on the west side of the lake, and plays host to theatrical performances and concerts during the warmer months. The park features a variety of attractions, including the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory and the Como Regional Park Pool. Environmental history Como Lake was originally mostly a wetland with some open water but was expanded and deepened when the surrounding Como Park was developed. The lake is fed by storm sewer water run off. In the summer algae blooms were frequent and visitors complained about the smell of the lake. Attempts to improve the lake quality have been made which include replacing invasive plants with native plants, installation of other water filtration methods, application of herbicides, and alum treatments. These changes have reduced algae growth and improved the quality of the lake water as of 2022. Human history After James-Younger Gang member Charlie Pitts was killed in the chaotic aftermath of the disastrous September 7, 1876 Northfield, Minnesota raid, his body was boxed up and temporarily submerged in the lake by Dr. Henry Hoyt, a local physician who wanted the bleached skeleton as a display piece for his office. The skeleton was on display for unknown number of years at the Stage Coach Museum in Shakopee, Minnesota. In 1981 the remains were donated to the Northfield Historical Society. Currently the skeleton is housed in the Physical Anthropology Lab at Minnesota State University in Mankato awaiting analysis. Fish The lake contains black bullhead, black crappie, bluegill, golden shiner, green sunfish, hybrid sunfish, northern pike, pumpkinseed, walleye, white sucker, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch. Some fish consumption guideline restrictions have been placed on the lake's bluegill, bullhead, crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye due to mercury and/or PFOS contamination.

Lake View Store

The Lake View Store was the first modern indoor mall built in the United States . It was built in 1915, and held its grand opening on July 20, 1916. The architect was Dean & Dean from Chicago and the building contractor was George H. Lounsberry from Duluth. The mall building cost $75,000 to construct, a large sum of money in 1915. The mall is located in the U.S. Steel former company town of Morgan Park, now the present day neighborhood of Morgan Park in the city of Duluth, Minnesota, on the northeast corner of Edward Street and 88th Avenue. The building is two stories with a full basement and shops were originally located on all three levels. All of the stores were located within the interior of the mall with some shops being accessible from both inside and out. The Duluth News Tribune once reported that the "Lake View Store is the most modern store in Duluth" and "Every business concern in Morgan Park will be housed in a commodious building about 200 feet (61 m) long and 100 feet (30 m) wide". This mall appeared in the November 1916 issue of The Minnesotan and the June 1918 issue of American Architect. The mall's original business hours were Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It was estimated that 10,000 people toured the mall on its opening day. The first floor had a pharmacy and a department store with groceries, a butcher shop, clothing, hardware, furniture, and a general store. The second floor had a bank, dentist office, barber shop, hair salon, hat shop, billiard room, and auditorium. The basement had a shoe store and an ice making plant which made eight tons of ice per day for the mall and for Morgan Park residents. The mall building and the department store were owned and operated by U.S. Steel, however the pharmacy, bank, barber shop, hair salon, and dentist were among the privately run businesses. In September 1929, the mall's hardware store took first prize in the United States and third prize in the world, in a window display competition. This was out of 11,672 total entries. The window display featured a camping scene with a cabin. It was created by hardware store manager Walter B. Neipp. The 1935 Duluth city directory lists the following businesses in the Lake View Store: Lake View Lodge, Morgan Park Company Real Estate, Lake View Department Store, Morgan Park Market, Dahl Barber Shop, Doctors Ryan & Elias, Schaefer Dentistry, Gjessing Tailor Shop, Tahtinen Shoe Rebuilder, and Park Pharmacy. The interior of the mall was later remodeled so that each store was only accessible from the outside. This allowed for more room on the second floor which originally had a balcony and walkway that ran most of the length of the building. The mall still exists today and houses a hair salon, offices, retail space, and apartments. References
Lake Zumbro Hydroelectric Generating Plant

The Lake Zumbro Hydroelectric Generating Plant, also known as the City of Rochester Municipal Hydro-Electric Plant, is a hydroelectric facility on the Zumbro River in Mazeppa and Zumbro Townships in the U. S. State of Minnesota. The facility consists of a gravity dam and a powerhouse, and formerly included three houses for the plant operators. The houses were removed in the 1960s when the dam was retrofitted to allow remote operation of the generating equipment from Rochester. The impoundment created is called Lake Zumbro. This dam spans 904 feet (276 m) and is 66 feet (20 m) high, creating a reservoir with about 55 feet (17 m) of hydraulic head. The idea of building a hydroelectric plant on the Zumbro River north of Rochester had been discussed at least as far back as 1904, when several entrepreneurs surveyed the river, going so far as to buy land for a dam site. An effort was made to secure funding for a 60-foot (18 m) dam and transmission line to enable sale of electricity to the city, but the city council declined the arrangement as they did not feel that Rochester's power consumption would justify it. In 1915, a bond issue for a new hydroelectric plant was put before the city council, possibly spurred by the recent loss of the coal-fired municipal power plant in a fire. Voters overwhelmingly approved a $360,000 (equivalent to $9,046,753 in 2025) bond issue in a special election held in January, 1916. The facility was designed by pioneering hydroelectric engineer Hugh Lincoln Cooper (1865–1937), a Minnesota native with strong ties to the city of Rochester, and was built from 1917 to 1919. It is still operated by its original owner, Rochester Public Utilities (RPU), to supply power to Rochester, Minnesota, 15 miles (24 km) to the south. The Lake Zumbro Hydroelectric Generating Plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 for its state-level significance in the theme of engineering. It was nominated as a representative work of Cooper—one of the nation's leading hydroelectric engineers in the early 20th century—and his only project in his home state of Minnesota. On the night of August 24, 2019, a pontoon boat with three people on board went over the dam. They were casting off from the lake shore after patronizing a business below the dam but got caught on the lip of the spillway. A fourth person jumped off and swam to a buoy, where she yelled for help, while the other three went over the edge in the boat. It lodged right-side-up near the base of the dam, causing the people on board only minor injuries. Firefighters, sheriff's deputies, and civilian boaters rescued all four individuals. The Wabasha County Sheriff's Office ascribed the incident to alcohol and darkness, charging the driver with boating while intoxicated.

Lakeville South High School

Lakeville South High School (LSHS) is a high school located Lakeville, Minnesota, United States. To meet the needs of a growing population, in the early 2000s the district began construction of LSHS. It enrolled students for the first time in fall 2005. Unlike LNHS, whose student come from a predominantly urban/suburban catchment area, LSHS pulls from the suburban/rural areas of Lakeville. This socioeconomic divide has contributed to the ferocity of the rivalry between LNHS and LSHS athletics. The school is a member of Minnesota Independent School District 194 (Lakeville Area Public Schools) and is affiliated with the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL). The school is a member of the South Suburban Conference. Curriculum Through the Minnesota state Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, students are eligible to take classes at state colleges and universities. Athletics The school competes under the Minnesota State High School League and is a member of the competitive South Suburban Conference. The school was in the Lake Conference until 2009–2010.

Delvic Building

The Delvic Building is a historic commercial building in Hibbing, Minnesota, United States. It was constructed in 1922 when Hibbing was a company town for a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, which took the unusual step of designing the commercial as well as residential sectors. In previous company towns, such as Coleraine, Minnesota, or Gary, Indiana, the controlling industry focused on employee housing and left commercial development to private entrepreneurs. The Delvic Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its local significance in the themes of commerce, community planning and development, and industry. It was nominated for exemplifying the type of building constructed in Hibbing's planned downtown, and for attesting to this evolution in corporate control of community development. When the East Howard Street Commercial Historic District was designated in 1993, the Delvic Building was listed as a contributing property.

Town Square (Saint Paul)

The Town Square Complex is a three-building mixed use development in Downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The complex contains the 27-story Bremer Tower, the 25-story UBS Plaza, and the 16-story DoubleTree by Hilton St. Paul Downtown hotel. The modernist building complex also contains two stories of commercial and retail space and is connected to several nearby buildings such as Wells Fargo Place via elevated skyway. History The Town Square complex was built in 1980 as a public-private partnership with the City of Saint Paul, originally containing two office towers, a hotel, two floors of retail anchored by a Donaldson's department store, and an indoor park on the third floor above the shopping mall. The complex was originally slated to feature a terminal for a proposed people mover system that would have run from downtown Saint Paul to the Minnesota State Capitol. An empty diagonal slat between the Bremer Tower and UBS Plaza towers marks where the terminal would have been. The enclosed park, which was operated and maintained by the city of Saint Paul, featured over 250 species of live plants and water features including a waterfall and a stream underneath a glass roof containing over 1,000 glass panels. From 1989 to 2000, the indoor park featured Cafesjian's Carousel, a carousel built in 1914 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company which the City of St. Paul acquired from the Minnesota State Fair; the carousel was eventually moved to Como Park. In 2000, the indoor park was closed and sold to a private owner to be used as a wedding and event venue, however, the business was not able to open due to the space requiring over $2 million in repairs due to leaks; the City of Saint Paul was ordered to pay $200,000 in damages. The indoor park has since remained vacant and is closed to the public. See also List of tallest buildings in Saint Paul References External links Town Square St. Paul

Accidents & Incidents On June 24, 1996, a Farland Genesis impacted terrain after a loss of control while operating a local flight at the airport. The student pilot aboard received fatal injuries. Witnesses reported the takeoff seemed normal, but the pilot did a 180-degree turn 100 feet above the ground. The plane veered right and gradually lost altitude until it nosed over. The probable cause was found to be the pilot's impaired judgement due to drugs and failure to control the aircraft, resulting in an uncontrolled descent into terrain. On July 13, 2022, a hang glider crashed into a lake nearby in Le Sueur county. The sole pilot was rescued. The crash is under investigation.

Starkey House

The Starkey House, also known as the Alworth House, is a residence in Duluth, Minnesota, United States, overlooking Lake Superior. The house was designed by modernist architect Marcel Breuer in 1954 and 1955 for June Halverson Starkey (née Alworth). The building's design references Breuer's hallmark bi-nuclear plan, in which sleeping and living spaces are linked through the home's entrance. The house was commissioned by June Halvorson Alworth, a widow who later married Robert Starkey. Structure The house consisted of two large, rectangular volumes of unequal size while were on the side of a hill. They were supported by wood columns and laminated girders. One contained the bedrooms and children's playroom while the other contained the open-plan living and dining rooms. The upper floor of the house had board-and-batten siding, while the facades facing the lake featured large expanses of windows shielded by glass sunshades. A separate volume constructed of fieldstone and painted brick contained the garage. References
