Linden Hills Business Association members

• Linden Hills Co-op
• Wonderment

"Although it is not a direct successor of the Lake Harriet Commercial Club, the Linden Hills Business Association shares many of the same goals, such as solving traffic problems and maintaining an attractive shopping area. 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."
