With excellent schools, highly regarded public facilities and services, beautiful neighborhoods, extraordinarily responsive fire and emergency medical personnel, stellar park and recreational facilities, and programs and premier retail shopping and dining establishments at 50th and France, the Southdale District and Galleria, life in Edina has been characterized by 98 percent of our residents as good or excellent, a Twin Cities-leading percentage for quality of life. America’s Promise Alliance, the nation’s largest partnership dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth has, for three straight years, designated Edina as one of the top 100 communities in America for Young People, and our school system is the only system in Minnesota ranked in the top 100 nationally.

Edina: W h e r e
Edina is known in the region for its shopping districts, health care options, school system and its quality of life. More than 47,000 residents also call Edina home. The city’s deep roots predate the 20th century, when Irish and Scottish immigrants settled the area in the 1860s. The township was incorporated in 1888. From those early years, it has grown to be one of the most economically stable cities in the state, offering a variety of commercial and residential options. People have migrated to this community for many reasons throughout the past 150 years. They have built homes, industry and created a lasting foundation for future generations. Inside this guide to Edina you will discover some aspects about the city that make it so desirable. We will offer information about Edina’s award-winning schools, its nationally acclaimed hospital and variety of community parks, churches and shopping districts. We’ll profile the police and fire departments, highlight the libraries, Edina History Museum and much more. We hope you find this guide to be a helpful tool in learning more about Edina and all it has to offer, even if you’ve lived here your entire life.

History
A rich history, housed in a historic building
E
dina’s history is collected in documents, photos and memorabilia housed at the Edina Historical Society. Those artifacts are on display throughout the year with changing exhibits at the Edina History Museum. For those wanting more specific information about Edina’s history, the museum can offer information about their street or family history. Executive Director Marci Matson said the Edina History Museum, operated by the society, assists nearly as many people with property research as it does genealogy. “People really want to know what their neighborhood looked like and why their street is named what it is,” said Matson. The museum holds assessor records for the city of Edina, including a photo of each house taken in 1959, as well as information on building updates and sales over the years. Homes built after 1959 typically have a photo on file from the year they were built. Copies of the photos are available for $5. The Edina Historical Society also operates the Edina Historical Center at Frank Tupa Park, home to the Min-

The building also served as Edina Village Hall from its incorporation in 1888 to 1942, with many important events taking place inside, including the decision to name Edina. The hall was moved in 1970 to Frank Tupa Park, where it is used in conjunction with Cahill School for historicalthemed field trips, birthday parties and special events. Museum hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays and by appointment. Info: www.EdinaHistoricalSociety.org.

Edina protected by police, fire departments
N
ew leaders are at the helm of the Edina Police and Fire departments. Dave Nelson was named Edina police chief and Tom Schmitz was named Edina fire chief in January 2014. Nelson began with the Edina Police Department as a patrol officer in 1991 and worked his way up through the ranks to police chief. Throughout his years, he served as the first school liaison officer in the department and served as a member of the SWAT team. Nelson also graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va. Nelson oversees a department of 77 people. The department includes 50 officers, two K-9 units, one animal control officer and four community service officers. The patrol division protects Edina’s 16-square-miles 24 hours a day. The officers respond to thousands of calls for service each year, ranging from suspicious noises to death investigations. The police have an average response time of six minutes and 31 seconds. The 25,000-square-foot police station at Edina City Hall also features a state-of-the-art 911 communications center. The city’s 13 dispatchers and their supervisor work around the clock at the Edina Communications Center. They also provide dispatch services for the cities of Golden Valley and Richfield. The dispatchers will handle an estimated 123,000 calls for service for the three cities. In Edina, firefighters do more than put out flames. Schmitz joined the Edina Fire Department as a paramedic/firefighter in 1993. Schmitz returned to the Edina department as fire chief after serving as assistant fire chief in Eden Prairie for two years. Schmitz is a U.S. Air Force veteran and also worked in a private ambulance service for five years before beginning his career in the public sector. Schmitz oversees a fire department of 31 career firefight-

er/paramedics and 11 paid on-call firefighters. The Edina Fire Department boasts one of the fastest response times for medical calls in the metro area – four minutes and 19 seconds from call to door. In 2013, firefighters responded to just over 4,600 calls for service, about 80 percent of which were for emergency medical services. The Fire Department also includes a special operations team trained in technical and structural collapse rescues. The team is a regional asset for other departments in the area. Edina crews go on up to 40 mutual aid calls each year. When possible, Edina firefighters like to stop fires before they start. Fire Marshal Jeff Siems leads the department’s fire prevention division, which includes two inspectors, a public educator and fire prevention clerk. Every year, the division of the Fire Department conducts close to 70 safety presentations, reaching nearly 2,500 children in Edina preschools, childcare centers and elementary classrooms. In addition, the department enforces the state Fire Code by regularly inspecting the city’s commercial buildings and multi-family housing units, checking for working fire alarms, sprinkler systems and more. Individual home inspections for fire safety are completed by request.

Liquor sales support city amenities in Edina
R
esidents support city parks, arenas and the arts when they pick up six-pack of pale ale or a bottle of Cabernet from one of three liquor stores operated by the city of Edina. Edina Liquor Store staff are on hand to assist in picking up something to go in a hot drink during a holiday party, a wine for Valentine’s Day or the perfect Irish drink for St. Patrick’s Day. Although wine sales outpace liquor and beer sales, Edina Liquor also boasts a large selection of single malt Scotch and a growing variety of craft beers. More than 1,000 varieties of wine, 250 brands of beer and 400 brands of liquor are carried. Every year, more than $1 million in net income from Edina’s three municipal stores support city facilities like the Edina Art Center, Braemer Ice Arena, Edinborough Park and neighborhood parks. “By supporting our stores it also supports the community,” said Steve Grausam, director of liquor operations for the city. “We give back 100 percent.” The profits are also put toward street repairs, and in the past have helped purchase police and fire equipment.

Chamber of Commerce
Chamber offers networking, recognition
E
dina’s population grows Monday to Friday with people traveling to work in Edina. The Edina Chamber of Commerce offers frequent networking and community events for its more than 400 members representing a diverse employment environment in the city. The Chamber was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1971. The Taste of Edina, one of the Chamber’s most popular events, is set to be bigger and better this year with a new venue at The Westin Edina Galleria. This year’s Taste of Edina is scheduled for Thursday, May 15. The evening of food and wine tasting gives restaurant members the chance to showcase their businesses to the Edina community. The 2014 event will also feature a new chef competition in which four local chefs will create an entree using a basket of surprise ingredients, a cake decorating contest to create an Edina-themed cake and an enhanced dessert section for those with a sweet tooth. The Chamber’s Annual Meeting in May includes the naming of Teacher of the Year, based on nominations from parents and peers in Edina Public Schools. In recognition of their important work, the winner receives a $500 check from the Chamber’s sponsor, Royal Credit Union. The Business Person of the Year is also announced.

Golf in Edina
Plenty of places to perform up to par in Edina
G
olfers were able to practice their swing indoors with the opening of the new Braemar Golf Dome. The dome is among several golf facilities operated by the city of Edina. Others include the 27-hole Braemar Golf Course, 9-hole Braemar Executive Course and 9-hole Fred Richards Executive Golf Course. The golf dome is open from November until midApril. It features 46 tee areas on two levels and a steady temperature so golfers are comfortable on even the coldest winter days. Located on 500 acres of rolling hills and scenic lakes surrounded by oak ridges, Braemarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf courses offer a pristine, secluded setting just minutes from the city center. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Richards Executive Course gives golfers the opportunity to decide between two different flagstick positions on each hole, making the course a destination for beginning and experienced golfers alike. Golfers at the private Edina Country Club can play 18 holes on a course that was updated by Minnesota native Tom Lehman, a former No. 1-ranked player who regularly competes on the PGA and Champions tours, and his design partner Chris Brands. The return to a more classic design includes doubling the number of bunkers, adding more variety and challenge to the par-72 course. The 18-hole private course at Interlachen Country

Libraries
Places to read a good book, and more dina’s two libraries offer more than a place to find a good book. Residents can also find movies and music, and the libraries offer programs and classes where residents can explore a variety of topics. The Edina Library and Southdale Library are two of Hennepin County’s 41 libraries. About 5.4 million in-person visits were made at Hennepin County libraries and the library’s website had 21.1 million visits in 2012. Patrons can also connect with the library on its Facebook page, via Twitter or on the library’s mobile app. The county’s library system offers more than 5 million books, CDs and DVDs in 40 languages. Residents can also download eBooks and other content from the library or use the 160 databases available to library cardholders on the website. For residents who need to use a computer, the library system has 1,910 computers available to the public. Library patrons now have more time to peruse the offerings thanks to hours being expanded in January 2014. The Edina Library is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The Southdale Library is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Edina Library The Edina Library has a strong fiction collection including many books by new and local authors. It also features Chinese, French and Spanish (children’s materials only) language collections, 28 computers and two meeting rooms. The Edina Library has a supportive and active Friends of the Library group with nearly 200 members. The group supports the overall collection of Hennepin County Library and also many of the Edina Library’s programs including the “Great Decisions” programs, which highlight a different topic on world events each month. Friends of the Edina Library is also counted among the sponsors of the Edina Reads program, which features community-wide reading and book discussions throughout the year.
Tradition and technology mix at this busy library. There are 132 computers with access to the Internet, the library catalog and Microsoft applications. Books abound in English, but also in Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. A large print collection aids reading for all eyes. Free programs for all ages are presented. Story times, children’s and teen book groups, job search assistance and small business programs are offered regularly. Two popular, long-running series are “Tuesdays With a Scholar,” presented in partnership with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and “Last Word” book discussions, in partnership with Barnes & Noble at the Galleria. The Friends of the Southdale Library hold very successful used book sales several times a year to support projects such as the Read and Relax Lounge. New Friends are always welcomed.
