GO RETRO We’re big on nostalgia. Opened in 1988, the Pavek Museum preserves the history of electronic communication and provides education on the science of electromagnetism and sound. It houses a unique collection that includes rare pieces such as a Magnetaphon, Philco Mystery Control Radio, Theremin, and a Spark Gap Generator. The Museum is also home to the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The Roller Garden has been Minnesota’s #1 roller skating rink for over 50 years. Guests can choose from roller or inline skates as they circle the floor accompanied by a superb sound system and disco lights. The skating center offers a variety of skate times and themes, lessons and space for parties/special events.
Pavek Museum
The Park Tavern Bowling & Entertainment Center has been a local favorite for nearly 60 years, with bowling, arcade games, casual dining, an outdoor patio, and a full bar with big screen TV viewing. Plus, they’re experts at hosting parties and corporate events. And for just over 30 years, the family-owned Texa-Tonka Lanes has offered bowling, an onsite pro shop, and a full-service bar and grill.

RELOCATION ST. LOUIS PARK
GOLDEN VALLEY
This area is a great place to live! Affordable housing, low crime rates, and close proximity to parks, entertainment, shopping and dining all make the city a top pick for people relocating to the Minneapolis metro area. Founded in 1886, St. Louis Park has grown from a village of 45 families to a community of just under 49,000 residents.
With a variety of housing options, excellent schools, and an abundance of parks, Golden Valley’s residents enjoy a rich quality of life. Founded as an agricultural community in 1886, the city is now home to over 20,000 residents.
St. Louis Park neighborhoods are diverse in their social, religious, and ethnic heritage. They have active associations who work together to unify the community through special events and neighborhood beautification programs. St. Louis Park is home to retail stores, restaurants, medical facilities, family-owned businesses, corporations, churches and synagogues. St. Louis Park has nationally renowned educational institutions and youth programs. St. Louis Park Public Schools are International Baccalaureate schools that aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. In 2017, the Washington Post ranked St. Louis Park High School as the 8th highest rated high school in Minnesota. Children First, an initiative that brings the community together to support children and teens, is based in St. Louis Park. St. Louis Park offers year-round outdoor recreational opportunities. There are 52 parks scattered throughout the city for residents to enjoy and biking and walking trails connect us to downtown Minneapolis, the Uptown area, Hopkins and Chaska.
A first ring suburb of Minneapolis, Golden Valley combines suburban appeal with urban flair. Diverse housing opportunities include singlefamily homes, waterfront properties, affordable apartments, and more. Golden Valley has historic homes dating back to World War II, as well as newly developed neighborhoods. A great place to raise kids, Golden Valley is served by two award-winning school districts, the Perpich Center for Arts Education, and Breck, one of the best private schools in the area. Golden Valley is also home to nine community parks, 11 neighborhood parks, and 11 nature areas, all connected to an extensive trail system that passes ponds, a beautiful winding creek, and picturesque golf courses, providing endless opportunities for outdoor activities. Fun Fact: No one is quite sure how Golden Valley got its name. Was it named for acres of wheat glimmering in the sun, golden daffodils dotting the hillside, or did Irish immigrants name the village after the Golden Vale of Shannon? We may never know for certain.

St. Louis Park is home to the oldest operating Jewish newspaper, The American Jewish World, which started in 1912. Today, the publication unites the main Jewish communities in Minneapolis and St. Paul and greater Minnesota. Fun fact: The original bundt pan was developed in 1950 by St. Louis Park-based Nordic Ware. For a complete list of city services, visit: www.stlouispark.org
