St. Paul Retro Loop is 5 of the BEST stores for mid-century modern furniture and clothing in all of Minnesota! Posted at 7:49 PM Apr 25, 2008 view more
About me: In the upper Midwest, lovers of 1950's-1980's modern design have been flocking to a new shopping district in St. Paul Minnesota. Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, these established businesses offer an ever changing array of all things retro along one convenient strip.
The St. Paul Retro Loop is a consortium of 5 of the best Retro-centric small businesses in the Twin Cities, all located within a three mile span of the Midway and Mac-Groveland neighborhoods. Formed in early 2006 when longtime St. Paul shops Lula, Succotash and Up Six welcomed Classic Retro @ Pete's and Swank Retro to University Avenue, the "Loop" members specialize exclusively in 1950's-1970's furniture, art glass & pottery, clothing & jewelry and all things Modern. By teaming together, not only have store owners pooled their resources and created a destination shopping district, they are also able to showcase what makes St. Paul so special. This refreshing alliance presents a diversity of merchandise within an atmosphere reflective of the bright colors and optimism of a past era.
The stores that make up the St. Paul Retro Loop are:
Classic Retro @ Pete's (Furniture & Housewares)
Lula's (Vintage Men's & Women's Clothing & Accessories)
Succotash (Furniture, Housewares, Clothing, & Accessories)
Swank (Furniture, Housewares, Clothing & Accessories)
Up Six Vintage (Furniture, Housewares, Clothing & Accessories)

Who I'd like to meet: Lovers of the mod, the kitsch, and the fabulously retro.
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be!! We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend stopping by during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Again, here's the event info:
Friday, June 26th Trocaderos 107 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 18+ // $6 // 8pm
Please come out and support some great local music!! Music starts at 9:30pm, we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
