Shoreview Community Center’s Shocking Renovation Uncovered Something YOU WEREN’T Supposed to Know In 2024, the long-time Hub in Shoreview, Minnesota, underwent a stunning renovation that transformed decades of community history into a chic, modern hub of activity—while revealing something truly unexpected beneath the surface. What renovation team members and local historians uncovered during routine excavation and structural upgrades has sent ripples through the community and left residents both shocked and inspired: a hidden trove of forgotten architectural secrets documenting Shoreview’s evolution since the 1970s. ### A Time Capsule Beneath Your Feet When contractors began reinforcing the foundation and installing new utilities during the $8 million renovation, they inadvertently uncovered buried time capsules embedded in the original building’s base. These sealed artifacts included vintage construction blueprints, faded photographs, handwritten notes from early community board members, and even a dusty time capsule container sealed in 1978.
