Mystery Photo: Where in Inver Grove Is This?

How well do you know Inver Grove Heights? Can you identify where this photo was taken?

How well do you know Inver Grove Heights? Can you identify where this photo was taken?

Submit your best guesses in the comments section below. We'll provide a few hints along the way if needed. Be as specific as possible. In other words, "behind the gas station by the tracks" probably won't ring the winner's bell.

Feel free to guess as often as you like. We'll reveal more photos as soon as we get a correct answer.

Oh, and since it's always nice to win something for your effort, the first one to guess correctly will get a free gourmet coffee—paid for by editor Jeff!

Guess where. Guess what. Have fun!

Danette You are so right about Barbara Ave leading into the new City Hall. The Street has been in a…Read 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.

Staffing ratios at hospitals was one of the top issues being negotiated by the union on behalf of…Read 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 on…Read 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 to…Read 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!
