Golden Valley & West Metro

A quiet news morning in the northwest suburbs — the most hyperlocal item making the rounds is a nostalgia mystery. On r/Minneapolis, a reader who picked up two vintage framed prints last weekend is asking whether anyone remembers Arjohn, the business named on labels reading "Arjohn Minneapolis Hopkins Robbinsdale." The poster guesses it was a frame shop or home decor store. Robbinsdale readers with long memories, this one's for you.
