Verizon Officially Comes to Town
We reported a while back that a Verizon store opened in town. Turns out it was quickly re-brand to Two Men Wireless which sells Verizon phones. Now, Verizon has officially opened a store across from Kwik Trip. That’s great news for Verizon customers!
Scarecrows Coming to Town
Starting October 6th, scarecrows will be invading Waconia. The 5th annual scarecrow contest will partner ideas from the community with business to create fun and interesting scarecrows. They will then be placed around town for everyone to enjoy. The contest officially goes from October 6 to the 9th, but most scarecrows will probably be up through Halloween.
Ground Round Coming to Waconia
Yesterday the word was Champps, today it’s Ground Round. I don’t know if they switched restaurants, or if we are getting both, but I have been able to confirm that the city has approved the sight plans for Ground Round over by the AmericInn. No idea when construction would start or when it’d open.

Blockbuster Express Comes To Town
RedBox isn’t the only way to rent movies for $1 a night anymore. Blockbuster Express is the same idea, only in a blue box. The Blockbuster Express machine is located at Kwik Trip and, from what I know, works the same way as RedBox does with no memberships and only a dollar a night rentals.

Verizon Store Leaves Waconia?
A few days after I noticed the Verizon store in Waconia, the name changed. I think it’s now called Two Men Wireless or something like that. Not sure why the name change, but hopefully it’s still a Verizon authorized dealer.
