Muddy Pig… Minneapolis

By on March 31, 2011in bars/restaurants

TwinCities.com reports today that The Muddy Pig will be expanding into Edina Minneapolis in July with Pig & Fiddle, occupying part of the old Pearson’s Edina Family Restaurant, near 50th and France. It’s a cool old space and will suit the Pig quite well! I, for one, am looking forward to it. Now if only Edina could do something about its ban on happy hours…

Old Pearson’s Spot fit for a Muddy Pig; St. Paul restauranteurs expand into Edina, Kathie Jenkins

Thanks for reader Nancy for the tip. According to a City of Edina map, Pearson’s Edina confusingly was not in Edina, but in Minneapolis. Perhaps there’s a little history here or city lines have shifted over the decades? WHo knows?
