On being a Linden Hills Business Owner and LHBA Member …

“I have been a Linden Hills business owner since 2005, first with Wonderment (closed in 2011), and now with Heartfelt, my craft studio and retail store. I really can’t imagine wanting a shop anywhere else — Linden Hills feels like home to me. Wonderful customers from near and far, and the comradery with my fellow independent business owners as we all strive for success, are what make Linden Hills great. It’s the shops, services, and eateries, yes, but mostly the people.

The Linden Hills Business Owners Association brings businesses together to share information, plan, and problem solve while marketing our area to new and existing customers. The Association mounts two major events each year, Woofstock and Reindeer Day, to this end.”

–Lisa MacMartin, Heartfelt

According to LHBA minutes, the association was formed on May 2, 1940, when a group of professional men and women gathered at the Hamilton School of Dancing. The business association met monthly, often over dinner at a local restaurant, to promote many civic concerns.

During World War II, the group organized scrap metal drives to aid the war effort. When librarian Edith Frost retired in 1946, the LHBA held a dinner in her honor.

For many years this organization has enlivened the commercial district with decorations during the holiday season. The association continues to promote and enhance the Linden Hills commercial districts.”
