Editor's Note: Today, Patch is debuting the first of four new video series. The first, ‘Fish Out of Water’ features Minnetonka Patch Local Editor Katelynn Metz trying her hand at a new job somewhere in the west metro. New editions of Fish Out of Water will appear every Monday. In this first segment, Metz tries being a barista at Minnetonka’s beloved neighborhood Caribou located on Highway 101, south of Minnetonka Boulevard. Not to brag, but I seem to take to most new jobs pretty well. And in my three-plus decades I’ve done many jobs besides being a journalist, including waitressing, ice-cream scooping, babysitting, teaching nutrition and even answering phones at a nunnery (you’d be surprised how many calls the ladies do get!) So although …

"We have given up on the center," stated Mary McNellis, one of three co-owners of Woodlake Plaza. "We basically concluded that there was no hope for that center as a retail center."
