Anoka is bringing back its "social district," and this year the program — which allows people to sip alcohol as they stroll some city streets — will run for five months with expanded borders to include businesses on the south side of Main Street in the city's historic downtown. A performance by Alex Larson "Unplugged," a solo show from 5 to 7 p.m. May 1 at City Hall Plaza will officially open the district. It will be open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily through Oct. 6. The north metro community was the first city in Minnesota to pilot the initiative with a month-long trial last fall after getting legislative approval. "Everything went really well," said Doug Borglund, Anoka's community development director. "This year will be a full season. We are excited about it."
