1. restaurant row
You don’t have to travel too far in time to remember when West Circle Drive was a lonely outpost for dining in Rochester. Today, the stretch of road from 19th Street Northwest to Valleyhigh Drive is filled with great restaurants. Reporter Theodore Tollefson will cover the development of restaurants in the area in Saturday’s Post Bulletin.

2. A sign of spring
The final state tournament of the winter sports season is just around the corner. This week in Minneapolis, the boys’ basketball state champions will be crowned in four classes. Plainview-Elgin-Millville and Spring Grove are among local teams with a chance to finish their season at Target Center on Saturday (Stewartville or Winona will represent Section 1 in Class AAA).
3. Thaw out your ears
The next few days will bring some warmer temperatures. That’s reasonable considering the Thaw music festival is coming to town on Saturday with 30 acts across six venues. Reporter John Molseed tells you where to find a groove that will warm your soul. See Tuesday’s Post Bulletin.

as dr Linda Chao Butterfield didn’t expect to make a mark when she arrived in Rochester, but she did. As the first female surgeon to be hired by one of the city’s hospitals, Butterfield became a prominent eye surgeon for what was then Olmsted Medical Group. Reporter Dené K. Dryden tells us the story on Tuesday.
5. The best of the mat
Our All-Area teams continue in Tuesday’s Post Bulletin with the 2023 All-Area Boys Wrestling Team and Wrestler of the Year. With five state champions and a few dozen other state meeting qualifiers from this part of the state, picking this year’s all-area team was as difficult as any.
Our newsroom occasionally reports articles under the heading “Employees”. Often the “staff” line is used when rewriting basic short messages that come from official sources such as B. a press release from the city about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. Sometimes this byline is used when a news item has numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news items from different sources. If external sources are used, this will be noted in the history.
