Award Winner 2011

Otter's Saloon, located in a triangular building hugged by Central, First and Seventh, is well-known for its rowdy weekend karaoke and cheap - and stiff - drinks.

And nowhere is that comradeship more apparent than in the tiny U Otter Stop Inn. This triangular neighborhood watering hole, squatting... More »
2001 | BEST GROUND ZERO (LITERAL)

In case you thought census data was only good for gerrymandering Congressional districts, there was this revelation, courtesy of the statisticians at the St. Paul Pioneer Press: The U Otter Stop Inn is the absolute center point--or "centroid" in people-counting parlance--of the Twin Cities' population.
