Most bars and restaurants in Mankato and North Mankato that opened before the COVID shutdown are still in business today—records show that only a few closed while new ones opened.
This outcome reflects local support and the steady recovery of our hospitality industry after tough times.
📰 Lifestyle
Neighborhood children have been playing outdoors on sidewalks and in parks, enjoying hopscotch and exploring trails to welcome the early spring.
Their outdoor adventures in warm and wet weather (a break from screens and indoor play) show a renewed interest in nature.
