Editing Excelsior, Minnesota (section)

===21st century===
Over the years, Excelsior's downtown historic district has been home to many businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and merchants. Since 2010, restaurants and eateries have come to dominate the town's commercial landscape. Excelsior is known for maintaining its historical identity. Beyond the downtown district, it also retains much of its [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]]-era housing stock. Strict building codes are enforced in order to preserve this identity.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.startribune.com/excelsior-grapples-with-preserving-its-quaint-identity-amid-new-construction/560282972/ | title=Excelsior grapples with preserving its historic identity amid new construction | website=[[Star Tribune]] | date=September 14, 2019 }}</ref>
