When it is gorgeous and hot in Minnesota, we go to one of the lakes.  But in the winter when we are all freezing, we throw on some skis and go for a ride.  If you've never experienced that type of fun, you are in luck!

List of Rochester Businesses That Closed in 2022

Saying goodbye is never easy, and in Minnesota, it takes us a few hours to actually get out the door when we are visiting friends. Sadly, a few businesses in Rochester, Minnesota had their own goodbye in 2022 - some in more of a Minnesota style with a note and a few weeks or days to have closure, while others just seemed to disappear in the night forever.
