Richfield Gets a Target

Yes - another Target post. I knew that they were opening a new Super Target in Richfield - just 4 blocks from the Hobbled Homestead. Didn't know they were calling it Cedar Point Commons - very high and mighty name. {More info here.) I recall the old "point" as the intersection of 66th Street and Cedar Avenue, with the Municipal Liquor store on one corner, and a Standard Gas Station across the street (now buried by the Super Target). One half-block to the north was the old "Soft Touch Sauna" - Richfield's first health club (cough!).



Of course a lot has changed since the days of the old Tom-Tom Drive In - located just 2 blocks north of the present day Cedar Point Commons. This is an old photo from the Richfield Historical Society (highly recommended) - but I have a vague memory of visiting the Tom-Tom with my father. That must have been before my brother was born - so pre-1965.

They have some interesting statuary at Cedar Point Commons. Found some cool pictures on Flickr - but couldn't post them to the blog for some reason.
