The latest Explore Minnesota (that’s the state’s tourism promotion arm) newsletter showcases retro shopping in Minneapolis-St. Paul. And they recognize that the Green Line light rail corridor along University Avenue is THE retro hotspot in the region.

“MidModMen, on University near Raymond in St. Paul, is one of a cluster of retro shops in this area, making it a great destination for shoppers on the prowl. Just around the corner on Raymond is Succotash, and farther east on University is Classic Retro at Pete’s. West on University in Minneapolis, Spinario Design is tucked onto the second floor of the Art & Architecture Building, shared by several antique shops and the Cupcake restaurant.” – Explore Minnesota
