Welcome to the East Harriet Neighborhood
East Harriet is bordered by 36th Street on the north and 46th Street to the south. Lyndale Avenue is the eastern boundary; Lake Harriet and Lakewood Cemetery largely make up the western border of the neighborhood. In addition to these Minneapolis landmarks, Lyndale Park Gardens and Rose Gardens, the Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary are located within East Harriet. Many houses in the neighborhood are two-story homes, set back from the streets.

Hennepin County Attorney's Office at NNO Each year, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office participates in National Night Out.

If your block is hosting a NNO event and would like someone from the County Attorney to visit, fill out the request form at www.hennepinattorney.org/NNO. The registration form includes questions about the time and location of your block party. There is also room to include specific crime prevention concerns or legal questions you would like addressed.

DevJam (Former Java Jack's Location) Opening Coffee Bar in East Harriet!
Kingfield residents David Hussman and Andrien Thomas owners of DevJam (formerly Java Jacks) have been inspired by neighborhood requests to open their doors to the public with a coffee bar, pastries, sandwiches,snacks and beer and wine (if the city allows). Their goal is to produce a place for commuters to grab java to go, day workers (independent who are looking for a place to work and not feel guilty), and locals who simply want to sit and chat. In the evenings the place will change its tone towards a mellow space to gather and relax over a drink and a small bite of food. Lastly, it will be a weekend place for families to gather and people walking to and from the lake to stop and enjoy the sidewalk tables or the openness and environment they have found in the building for years.
David and Andrien are currently working with the City of Minneapolis to ensure all regulations are met. The coffee bar is expected to open later this summer. More details and date announcements will follow. Music & Movies in the Parks Week of 7/21 - 7/27

The Southwest Senior Center supports caregivers through their adult day program, DayElders and their social work services. If you or someone you know is giving care to a senior, they may not know about the options available to support them and the person for whom they are caring. SW Senior Center social worker, Linda Walker, can help people understand the resources available. In addition, the DayElders Adult Day Program provides activities and services for people 50 and older who need support during the day and/or whose family could benefit from respite.
