In March, Roseville made the news in various Twin Cities media outlets in stories that included the MN House 40B special election analysis, a coordinated operation to arrest shoplifters, a nationwide REI theft investigation, Roseville’s own Niko Medved hired as Gopher men’s basketball head coach, a spotlight on a Roseville board game design company, Mr. Zero’s turns sixteen, news about the Lexington Plaza Dairy Queen (but you heard about that here first), Minnesota Wild Hockey Without Limits Camp at the OVAL, Ramsey County’s new Environmental Center, and an article about robot servers at restaurants. Read on for links to the original sources and quotes from the articles for a taste of the stories.

This month’s round-up of regional news reporting on Roseville is for paid subscribers only. You can find this information yourself by visiting the various news outlets directly, but if you want a curated list with quotes and links, I’ve taken the time to pull that together for you as a perk of paying for a subscription. Thanks for your support! —NK
