Out on the prairie

The clouds stuck around past sunset to capture the small downtown park named after one of Belle Plaine's prominent townspeople, Edward Townsend. The park features a few stone benches as well as a fountain. It serves nicely as the city square for the residents who call the city divided by U.S Highway 169 as their home.

They love their baseball

Jordan's municipal baseball stadium is named 'The Mini-Met' harkening back to its northern neighbor of Bloomington, MN and the once-proud 'Metropolitan Stadium' where today's Mall of America stands. The Mini Met is home to Jordan's town-ball baseball team which competes against other southern Minnesota teams during the summer months and shares a somewhat intense rivalry with nearby Chaska.
