THC licenses

Do you think this will change anytime soon? Why are they limiting the licenses?

"The retail sale of low-dose hemp-derived THC consumables (gummies, food, or beverages) is licensed by the City of Stillwater. The city has issued a limited number of licenses, and, as of now, all available licenses have been granted."

Is it true that Jessica Lange lived in Stillwater for a long time? And no one ever mentions this? Anyone ever meet her?

Frogman movie filmed in Stillwater

I was watching the movie "Frogman" and noticed immediately that it was filmed in Stillwater. It's a very low budget found footage movie, but I thought it was neat that it was filmed in Minneosta.

Moving to Stillwater by years end, planning on sticking around for a long time so I'd like to get involved in the community somehow, volunteering perhaps?

When does the party end?

Hi all!

I moved here about a month ago for work. I’m a few blocks from downtown on north hill. I’ve noticed that every weekend is like a non-stop party (ok…exaggerating a bit). But my street is lined with cars, people walking everywhere, live music all day. I’m already sick of listening to and encountering drunken a-holes on my 2 days off. It’s almost pointless trying to grab a coffee downtown mid-morning as there’s a line out the door everywhere. Clearly, these aren’t locals and all of my interactions with people that actually live here have been lovely. Does the party ever end? Do weekends here become more locally focused when it gets cooler out?

Adoption information

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

The good, the bad, and everything in between.

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!

Places to stay for bachelorette party with 8?

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!

Overwhelming scent of gas near manning.

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?

Brown's Creek Trail

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.

Weekend trip for partners birthday the weekend of July 19th - July 21st

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!

Has anyone run the Gopher to Badger run?

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?

"fancy" birthday dinner?

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!
