Eliminate Parking Downtown (Main Street)

Hear me out because this is probably a controversial opinion. There should be no parking on Main Street in downtown Stillwater. The sidewalks (which are insanely narrow) should be made wider for pedestrians and cafe seating. Imagine how much easier it would be to navigate by car not having to play frogger with people crossing the street, darting out behind parked cars, and piling up on corners to cross. It would be better for everyone- drivers and pedestrians.

City Council to review the design for Bergstein Mill remodel into a public space (8/18/26)

Looks cool! These are the buildings just south of town along Brown's Creek Trail (across from Oasis)

“The project would create a gathering area with an open-air patio, a trail support space, and two restrooms at the first level of the Bergstein Warehouse.”

Stillwater Soo Line High Bridge Paranormal Activity

Yo for anyone who has ventured out onto the Soo Line Bridge(High Bridge or Railroad tracks) above the Saint Croix in Stillwater Minnesota at night, have yall heard any weird whistling when it’s dark. Back in 2024 I’d go out there a lot after dark and hear a distinct whistling, the best way I can describe it is like a man whistling for his dog, short but definitely loud and distinct, it came from the left side of the Wisconsin side of the woods, one night I had ventured over to the Wisconsin side and found that the whistling begun to get louder and was followed by what sounded like trees falling into the water, at that point I said fuck it and ran back to the Minnesota side, and for anyone that’s been on that bridge we both know that’s a long way, but it freaked me out.
Curious to hear what comes of it if it could be some sort of entity in the woods

Following up on the Soo Line Bridge

Yo, tonight was a night we went out to the High Bridge, I had made a post a couple days ago curious about paranoia on and around the bridge. It was me and my two buddy’s, and as soon as we entered Arcola road, a heavy feeling of doubt and panic, but kept on. This is where shit got weird, we got out the car and were instantly greeted by silence all around us, just like a soundproof box that we had been thrown in, we carried onto the bridge and got onto the tracks with no problem, but as soon as we hit the bridge, the whistling started up, at that point we all got freaked and started our way back while the whistling got louder and louder. At this point we’re full sprinting, and made it to the car, sped off, and safe to say we won’t be going back ever again, doesn’t help that a man was walking on the road on our way into Stillwater

2 stall heated garage storage rate? Stillwater

I know someone looking to rent out a 2 stall garage with in-floor heating located in Stillwater, MN. It has a normal size overhead door. Seems like it would be perfect for classic cars.

What is an estimate of monthly/yearly rental rate?

Thanks

Lap swim in Stillwater

I’m looking for somewhere to swim laps during the day in or near Stillwater (within a 10 minute drive or so). A quick google search leads me to believe that River Valley Athletic Club is the only option in town. I don’t really want to pay a monthly gym fee just to use a pool once or twice a week, but I suppose if that’s my only option I will. Does anyone know of anywhere else that offers lap swimming? Or have an opinion/info regarding River Valley? Thanks!
