The Mediterranean-themed restaurant hit one year Feb. 24/
It's been year since Richfield's former Taco Bell was transformed into the unique Aida, a Taste of the Mediterranean. Owned by Ahmed Mohamed, his wife Amy Mohamed, and Sammy Eldabshour, the restaurant was the team's first restaurant venture. Amy Mohamed worked in the travel industry for many years, while her husband and Eldabshoury are certified public accountants who share a practice in Edina.

The site launched Nov. 17, 2010.
Two years ago today, I sat anxiously at my kitchen table asking myself, "Now what?" Yes. After months of prep, Richfield Patch was born early in the morning on Nov. 17, 2010 and for a moment I had no idea what to do next. The community site was finally alive and the real work had begun. Now, I'll be brief: Thank you to all those who have read, contributed, engaged and recommended Richfield Patch to another. Cheers and here's to many more years working together to inform the community. Thank you for letting Richfield Patch invade your laptops, PCs and smartphones.

Wednesday, Aug. 1 marks the five-year anniversary of the collapse of the Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis.
Survivors of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse have weighed in across the Twin Cities via Patch with their memories of that devastating day. The bridge, which spans the Mississippi River near the University of Minnesota campus, collapsed at about 6 p.m. on Aug. 1, 2007. Thirteen people were killed and more than 100 were injured. Rescue crews came from a nine-county area in Minnesota, and from St. Croix County in Wisconsin. United States Navy divers were deployed to help recover victims in the murky water. A new bridge was erected and completed in September 2008. A memorial to the victims is located near the west side of the bridge, next to Gold Medal Park. *** Minnetonka 35W Survivor Pens Book on Disaster Survivor of Bridge Collapse Opens…
