Our annual Best of Woodbury edition is here. We chat about what makes Woodbury such a special community. Cheers!
I have said it before, and I will say it again.

Menu
[Kitchen]
The North Star State, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Gopher State, the Bread-and-Butter State—though Minnesota has numerous trademarks, its culinary scene is also unlike any other.
Vali-Hi Drive-In, the last operating drive-in around the Twin Cities, brings ‘60s neon vibes with a side of popcorn and summer breeze.
[Arts]
All around Woodbury, one can see statues of children dancing, playing and reading, dogs walking across a branch and even an eagle preparing to takeoff.
Movie Madness
Woodbury 10 Theatre weathers a wave of shutdowns with community support.
Though I may be biased, I like to say that Woodbury is truly one of the best communities in the metro area.
[Outdoors]
Make the most of the warm, sunshine-filled days and elevate your fun in the comfort of your own backyard. Start a socially distant lawn game tournament with others to make it competitive or simply enjoy a leisurely game with your friends and family.
[Shops]
the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated small businesses across the country, but local retailer Patina, a business that has been serving the Twin Cities for over 25 years, has continued to be a hub for all things home décor, gifts and more through
[Wellness]
With an emphasis on ease and comfort, a more natural approach to beauty is taking the world by storm.
[Homes]
At this stage of the pandemic, a fair amount of homeowners have given the interiors of their homes a glow-up, a redo, a transformation—call it what you will. But all that efforts begs the question—now what?
[Arts]
Despite the sunshine-evoking title, this contemporary romantic comedy is a fun read no matter the season. The story centers around romance writer January and literary fiction writer Augustus, who end up in beach cottages next door to each other in the same Michigan town.
[Misc]
Research indicates the most successful training for dogs incorporates a food or toy/play reward. Most dogs are food motivated but some would rather play with a tug toy or ball. Both can be positive rewards.

The annual Best of issue of Woodbury Magazine is always one of my favorites. I spend a lot of time searching for “bests”—the best local products, the best of Minnesota Grown, the best natural and organic meats and produce and so on.
[Drinks]
A favorite drink in our great state for decades on end—the bootlegger cocktail was supposedly created at a country club during the prohibition. No matter where it was invented, this minty drink is truly a Minnesota staple.
