The south Riverwalk kiosk on the Water St. pedestrian promenade (AKA ‘Sesquicentennial Legacy Plaza’) now has the Northfield downtown directory on its north side. Jim Bohnhoff, who has a 1-year contract to maintain the kiosk information, has secured ten sponsorship ads for the left and right sidebars, including (continued)

Northfielder Will Healy has a new music show called ‘The Long Way Home’ that airs on KYMN 1080 AM on Sunday nights, 7-9pm. Last week’s Feb. 1 show (blogged by…
It might have the promotional blog post of the R-rated third set but whatever, Jon and Daitra Wersal made the trek from St. Peter to Northfield last night to hear the New Moon Trio at the Contented Cow. Their dancing and singing inspired us all. See the album of 10 photos. (continued)
The last week in January, I interviewed three professionals who are trading their know-how for the ingenuity (and, to a certain extent, free labor) of interns from Northfield’s two colleges. One partnership has already led to an art project, transforming discarded steel breadboxes into women’s breastplate armor. And there is promise that another trade could result in two new Web sites that could help boost the careers of local ceramic artists and rock stars.
Many of Northfield’s busy intersections got yellow signs saying “Single? NothfieldSingles.ORG” planted on all corners over the weekend. Nothing’s revealed on the website about who’s doing this but a quick check shows other towns nearby are likely getting hit, too.
My wife Robbie and I made our first visit to the Northfield Culver’s last week and met the franchise owners, Tom Zenk and Julie Zenk. I don’t write restaurant reviews but I was impressed by two things: 1) Tom’s Looney Tunes tie; and 2) that they had a bloodmobile drive card (coming Feb. 27, 8am-1pm) on every table. See my previous blog post on the conversion of Southgate Theater to Culver’s. Here are two more photos of the new interior.

The gang at the NEG (Rob Schanilec and Abby Erickson) has spoken: “Here are the results of the Northfield Entertainment Guide and Locally Grown readers’ poll of the Best of Northfield (4-page PDF). Hundreds of ballots and one hands-down winner – that would be you for having such great stuff to choose from! So take a gander at our readers’ picks and get out there and enjoy! And make mental notes for January 2010 when we’ll do it again.” (Update 1:45 PM: Audio of KYMN show discussing the winners added.)
It’s only been 17 years but Dan Riggins and Katherine Dominguez at the Goodbye Blue Monday Coffee House (GBM) now have a website. Sean Hayford O’Leary did the design and construction (using WordPress, of course). I did a quick web search and found a 2005 review of the Blue Monday by the Meridian Coffeehouse blog (“All about Coffee House Culture – Running a Coffee House, Living the Coffee House Lifestyle”). They wrote… (continued)
