We are delighted to extend a heartfelt welcome to our neighbors from the East Bde Maka Ska and West Maka Ska neighborhoods. In response to numerous requests, we have decided to embark on a three-month experiment to gauge the interest of residents from these communities in joining our Hill & Lake community.

Founded in 1976, the Hill & Lake Press has been faithfully reporting on community news and events, serving as an invaluable source of information and education dedicated to the Cedar-Isles-Dean, East Isles, Kenwood and Lowry Hill neighborhoods in Minneapolis.

With a monthly circulation of 9,000 copies, the Hill & Lake Press is a cornerstone of our community. Each month, our publication is sent to all 8,000 households and businesses in our area via U.S.P.S. bulk mail. Additionally, 1,000 copies are made available at various local businesses and public buildings.

We are excited to embark on this experiment and expand our reach into neighborhoods surrounding Bde Maka Ska during the fourth quarter of 2023. If you would like to share your thoughts, please consider sending a letter to the editor. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to evaluate extending our coverage.

The Hill & Lake Press Inc. is a Minnesota 501(c)(3) corporation, and we are proud to publish the paper on a monthly basis. We are committed to providing quality content and fostering a sense of community among all our neighbors, old and new.

We look forward to connecting with our neighbors from East Bde Maka Ska and West Maka Ska!
