anyone know if it’s closed or still accessible?

Looking for any information about an old adoption around 1960, last name Monroe, would have been a brother and sister that were adopted and Stillwater was hometown, any information would be appreciated

My husband and I (elder millennials, no kids, 2 dogs), are strongly considering the Stillwater area as we would like to relocate from the south to the upper midwest.

We would love to get a sense of Stillwater from locals. Do you find there’s a strong sense of community and a lot of ways to get involved and put down roots? Or is it more insular and hard to break in? Do you find there’s plenty to do? I’d love to hear your experiences.

We both work from home, so we want to make sure that the place we land has plenty of opportunities to meet people, make friends, volunteer, and get involved. We enjoy things like hiking, native plant gardening, lectures, film, dog parks, board games, book clubs, etc.

I’m a native Wisconsinite (sorry 😂), so we’re ready for winter, but we do like to stay social and occupied no matter the weather.

Thanks in advance!

I'm planning a friend's bachelorette party and I'm trying to find a place for all 8 of us to stay for a weekend in Jan/Feb. We're hoping to find something that's close to downtown, as we have some downtown activities planned. Anyone have AirBnB, VRBO or other rental suggestions or recommendations? I have had a handful of friends have bachelorette parties in the area but nobody can recall where exactly they stayed and I'd love a rec!

I’ll be visiting Stillwater this week with my partner and teen who gets around in a wheelchair. What would you all recommend as places to check out that also happen to be accessible - indoors or out? Can anyone comment on the accessibility of the river boat cruise? TIA!

Has anyone else noticed a strong gasoline smell near manning or 17? It’s been like this for about a week now. Is there some leak?

Is Brown's Creek Trail open? As in is it free from flooding and construction.

I am visiting from out of town and hoping to slowly run a marathon distance on it and the Gateway State Trail tomorrow.

Anything else I should be aware of such as restrooms and water stations?

Thanks in advance. Family has kept me from doing my own recon.

Hey everyone!

I am currently planning a fun little weekend for my partners 26th birthday. What are some fun things to do in the area? We love outdoorsy stuff, quirky places, dive bars, great food, museums, oddities. We are going to go to a Loons game in St. Paul on Saturday and we will be going to a show on Friday but we have downtime in the mornings and afternoons!

If you guys could helo me out with fun stuff going on that weekend that would be great!

How is it? Are the roads open to traffic? Does the section in Lakeland and on the bridge feel crowded? Is there enough support on the course?

Hi!

I am planning a weekend birthday trip for my girlfriend to the area later this summer and was hoping to get some recommendations for a "fancy" birthday dinner.

I understand there is no fine dining in Stillwater, but would anyone have recommendations for the "fanciest" place i could make reservations at?

Also, we are vegetarians if that changes Anything.

Thanks so much in advance!

Going to a wedding on Saturday and am considering trying to Uber back to Minneapolis afterward. Any advice?

I remember seeing them announce they were renovating a historic building downtown almost a decade ago. Their website and socials haven't been updated for a while, but it seems like they are still plugging away.

Anyone hear if they are still in operation or have any updates? Excited to have another tap room downtown!

I am curious if anybody knows some of the ingredients for the old Bourbon Beach sauce at Smalleys? Smalleys has a special place in our families heart and we want to try to rehash some of the many memories we had there.

Does anybody have the old recipe or know what was in it?

Hi all, my child is currently attending an elementary school in Stillwater but we got told last night over the phone that they're being switched to a school in Lake Elmo because that school is expanding. We do not want to make the switch, as my kid has bonded with teachers and classmates and we're hoping someone knows anything we can do to help prevent this from happening. Any advice is welcome, thanks!
