Garage condos coming to Orono for luxury vehicles

Orono is about to become the latest Twin Cities suburb to give vehicle owners space for the things that don’t fit in a traditional garage or yard.

Orono Garage Condos LLC, based in Excelsior, has paid $2.54 million to Old Crystal Bay LLC in Long Lake for a 5-acre location at 430 Old Crystal Bay Road N. It will have five buildings with 85 condos ranging from 800 to 1,400 square feet. Prices for a basic shell will start in the mid-$200,000s, with no real limit on how they can be tricked out to pamper a Porsche or Ferrari — perhaps from the nearby cluster of luxury dealerships along Interstate 394. They also are designed for watercraft and other recreational equipment.

Coming soon to Excelsior: Steakhouse with popovers, noodle bar with dumplings

The team behind Parlour will unveil two new restaurants on downtown Excelsior’s Water Street this summer. 

Last year, Jester Concepts promised to bring two brand new concepts to the main-level of the building that houses Parlour in 2025. Now, details of those plans have been revealed. 

Shiki, a 630-square-foot noodle bar open daily for lunch and dinner, will focus on dumplings and ramen, according to the announcement. 

Jester Concepts said the 30-seat restaurant will bring an “electric, late-night vibe” and feature an open kitchen so guests can watch the chefs and bartenders craft dishes and cocktails. 

Mirabelle, which will serve nightly dinner and weekend brunch, is expected to open a few weeks after Shiki this summer. 

The 2,700-square-foot American restaurant will focus on steaks and seafood, pastas and salads and side dishes such as classic popovers.

Excelsior apartment pitch would include Dock Cinema revamp

Happy Birthday Darius Wells—born in Kingsboro, Fulton County, New York, on this day April 26, 1800.
…………
Wells was the inventor of the routing machine — a lateral revolving cutting tool — which he used to produce the first machine cut wood types in the United States. His first workshop was at 161 Broadway (behind George Long’s book store). He published the first wood type specimen catalog in 1828. The company became D. Wells & Co in 1835, then Wells & Webb when he partnered with E.R. Webb in 1839. Wells retired from wood type manufacturing in 1856.

Wells was also an active abolitionist, and helped run a “station” on the underground railroad in Patterson, NJ helping enslaved humans make their way north to Canada to live as free human beings. Mr. Wells served as Postmaster of Paterson 1861–1874 appointed by Abraham Lincoln.
