The city plans to raze the split-level on Park Avenue.
Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter At first glance, 14109 Park Avenue appears to be like any other house on the quiet suburban street. A casual passerby would think nothing of the freshly mowed lawn and unremarkable gray facade, but city officials say the house is a hazard to public health. Though damages are not visible from the street, the house has been uninhabitable since fire destroyed portions of the roof and interior on July 29, 2010. An large, charred-black hole in the back corner of the house has been parrtially covered over with plywood and a tarp, leaving the home open to the elements and animal infestation. Inspectors also found mold growing rampant in the lower reaches of the split …

After recovering from a disastrous fire, on Sunday the restaurant will host a fundraiser for the men and women of the Eagan Fire Department who came to their aid.
After months of rebuilding following a disastrous fire, Casper’s Cherokee of Eagan will reopen its doors this Sunday to host a fundraiser for the Eagan Fire Department. The event will provide an opportunity for community members to give back to Eagan’s volunteer firefighters and to get a first look at the newly renovated restaurant. “It’s just a small way to say thank you,” said Rick Casper, owner of Casper’s.

The restaurant is in the midst of renovations, and plans to reopen with a new menu and look in early May.
The owners of Casper’s Cherokee Sirloin Room are using the disastrous fire that damaged the restaurant last fall as an opportunity to improve their business, which is just over the Burnsville border with Eagan.

The heat from the fire was so powerful that siding and windows melted and cracked on a neighboring building. Inside Casper’s, the sprinkler system prevented fire damage, although water and smoke damage did occur. The Eagan Fire Department was dispatched shortly before 6 a.m. on Oct. 9, after receiving a report that the restaurant’s two-story deck was on fire. The fire was caused when flowerpots on the deck where used as ashtrays. …

Hopefully the service will improve. The few times we stopped in the bar, it took FOREVER to get service in the bar area. The staff didn't appear like they weren't working hard, it just seemed they were constantly understaffed. Caspers: you will only get ONE chance to make a new first impression. Please make it a good one! more ›
