While the familiar brand hasn't had a restaurant in Minneapolis for a long time, it's far from absent around the Twin Cities metro area. There are currently KFCs in Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Burnsville, Columbia Heights, Coon Rapids, Eagan, Oakdale, Roseville, St. Paul, and Vadnais Heights, per the chain's location finder.The White Castle had serving up sliders on the corner of Lake St. and Blaisdell Ave. since 1977 before quietly closing last fall. Its instantly recognizable castle architecture is now gone, replaced with KFC's sleeker red and white branding.While the Lake St. White Castle has gone the way of the Vikings' undefeated record, fans of White Castle's idiosyncratic architecture can still find a classic shop just blocks away at 33rd St. and Lyndale Ave, where a vintage shop sits in a small former White Castle that originally opened in the 1930s. The building has been moved multiple times but is on the National Register of Historic Places.</div></body>
