Historical Society Uncovers Details of Mystery Photo
The photo turns out to have been taken in a neighboring community.
The St. Louis Park Historical Society has solved the mystery of a previously unidentified photo found in its archive.
In an e-mail, Robbinsdale City Engineer Richard McCoy wrote that the photo was taken looking east on County Road 9, near the New Hope and Crystal boundary and about 80 yards west of Kentucky Avenue.
The photo shows a ribbon cutting on a neighborhood street. Historical Society Trustee Jeanne Andersen says she found the photo in the collection but no one could identify where it came from, where it was shot or who the people in the photo are.

The mystery hasn’t been completely solved, though.
