    My family would go there for special occasions. I would always order the BBQ ribs. Before the Radisson was built…As I recall it was at the top of the hill near Central Entrance. I remember always looking for a house down the hill that had a green shingle roof. It always stood out. As I near the end of my life, it is so great to see these photos. They are in my memory, but not in any photos I have. Thank you.

    My goodness, such memories. The Red Owl in the Kenwood Plaza is where my parents shopped for groceries, Snow White Foods provided me with my first job, Mr. Gallup at Musicland was a neighbor, and so much more. I left for school the Twin Cities in 1977, but so many of these slides show scenes and places from my growing up years. Thanks for the memories!

      I'll admit my mind was blown a bit by that picture - I remember the Saints roller rinks in Roseville (went to that as a really little kid) and Maplewood (last time I was there, Starship's song "Sara" was big on the charts and I was in 5th grade lol), and heard there was at least one more down here in the Cities - but never had any idea there was a Duluth one also! Neat stuff.

      @@ericinMN1970 yeah we moved around the country a few times in the early 80s and sadly that chain was coming to an end by the time we moved back to MN. The Roseville one was already closed by then - the building was still there right by the Roseville water tower off Fairview - for many years there was a great Vietnamese restaurant in one of the suites - Anh Dao; also some pet food store and similar were there. It looks like they finally demolished the old building for Saints Roseville in the past handful of years - there's a much smaller party store on the footprint now.
      Doing a google search, it seems somebody had reopened the Maplewood one in recent years, but it closed due to Covid (and death of owner?) - Google maps showed me a building that just did not ring a bell at all, so I'm pretty sure that was not where they used to be located.
