What's Open and What's Closed on Presidents Day 2013 in the Inver Grove Heights Area

Most retail establishments will be open Monday, but set aside your government business til Tuesday.

What you should not count on being open includes any governmental business, including mail delivery, city offices and county services.

What’s Closed?

  • All Dakota County Public Libraries
  • Nearby post offices—No mail delivery on Monday, Feb. 18
  • St. Thomas Academy, Convent of the Visitation, St. Joseph's and Faithful Shepherd in West St. Paul will be closed Monday.

Danette You are so right about Barbara Ave leading into the new City Hall. The Street has been in aRead More Maintenance only durning the construction of the Public Safety Building and remodel of the City Hall. The Street updates were recently discussed at a meeting in May and a improvement plan should come back to the City Council very soon. We were waiting to complete the construction of the buildings so we would not damage a new street. We may need some additional work done in the East Parking Lot and then forward a plan to get Barbara Ave fixed and looking good. Danette, thanks for your comments and concern.

It looks like I need to get to more City Council meetings. I must have started coming just afterRead More that. It's only when people start participating and communicating that issues get resolved and things get done. I would encourage more citizens to make the time and go to the City Council meetings. Thank you Mayor Tourville for your prompt response.

Editor James Sanna - how about you or someone from Patch actually go to City Council meetings andRead More report back to us what's going on? Isn't that the job of a local news source, to report on local news? Former editor David Henke used to go to all the meetings or at least follow up on it. Why hasn't anyone else from Patch done that since he left? When will you be a local news source for us patch Sanna?

Thank you for that great info!

Kristen, can you add where the trail starts also? thanks

The Dakota County Segment of the Mississippi River Regional Trail starts in South St Paul goes southRead More through IGH and will go to Hastings in the next couple of years. The Spring Lake Area is being worked on as we speak by Dakota County for work next spring. You can go to the Dakota County website and search under Trails for more details. It is great for walking and bikes.

Actually I wrote a nice blog about the Rock Island Swing Bridge park and the one comment that wasRead More posted was quite derisive!!!! Is this the apathetic opinion that our residents have of our city's parks? I sure hope not!!!! These places are for ALL of us to enjoy! There are many activities at each one, from trails to fishing, hockey and softball, soccer and playgrounds and even more! Save our parks....please speak out!

Staffing ratios at hospitals was one of the top issues being negotiated by the union on behalf ofRead More nurses during the last strike. However, the union chose to settle for more money. The union and/or Nurses Association supports Rep. Atkins both financially and via endorsements. The bill initially was going to "mandate" staffing levels (something the union should have and could have negotiated). If the union is unable or unwilling to negotiate such an important issue on behalf of it's member nurses or their patients, what exactly is the purpose of and need for this union?

Te law passed this session did not mandate staffing levels. All it did was mandate reports onRead More staffing levels. This clearly takes effort that is not going to patient care, so it cannot help patients. The union pushed hard for the reports, so it seems clear that at least the unions believe it will help them.

It really upsets me to see what the CEO's at the hospitals make and yet the first thing they want toRead More cut costs on is cuuting back on nurses. They don't care that nurses are the eyes and ears of the doctors. Nurses spend time with patients and are expected to know when a patient takes a turn for the worse and to notify the doctors of the problem. They really hold the life of the patient in their hands!
