Worth the Detour: From stylish boutiques and award-winning restaurants at 50th & France to neighborhood favorites and everyday go-tos in Grandview, Edina’s business districts are special destinations year-round. During the Vernon Avenue & Highway 100 Interchange construction project, your support of local businesses makes a big difference. The Worth the Detour Edina campaign highlights the unique shops, restaurants and experiences these districts offer. This fall, you can participate by collecting stamps in the Worth the Detour Passport program, joining the Restaurant Week social media contest and enjoying free movies at the Edina Theatre on select Saturday mornings, all while continuing to support your favorite local businesses. https://www.bettertogetheredina.org/worth-the-detour.
