St. Paul To Get A Trader Joe's

My friends rave about Trader Joe's, but I've never been in one. Looks like I'll have another opportunity coming: the Strib reports that St. Paul's City Council approved rezoning a parcel at the corner of Lexington and Randolph Avenues for a Trader Joes plus another small retail building (likely a coffee shop).

Neighbors are apparently worried about traffic and parking, and no wonder -- a friend told me that on the opening day of the St. Louis Park Trader Joe's, there were traffic cops directing traffic into and out of the parking lot and the place was packed. Apparently, there are also Trader Joe's locations in Woodbury and Maple Grove. Bon marche!
