Write a review about Hopkins Tell people what you like or don't like about Hopkins…
I'm From Hopkins: And I Love It Here! 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) First off, let me start by saying this will be a very unbiased review, although living in Hopkins gives me a bit of an advantage here. When you first approach the city, you'll notice we are surrounded by A-LOT of lakes. I guess that's cool, if you are interested in things like fi ...Read More shing, or boating. I enjoy a lot of what the city of Hopkins has to offer.

One of the things I enjoy in particular is variety of food and other services like grocery stores. The different cuisines like you find on Excelsior Blvd will blow you mind! I am a foodie, so I can enjoy a different restaurant a day just along Mainstreet.

Some people like to credit the city's individuality to it's park system, but I would like to say it's a safe town, and the communities are pretty well off. The schools fare pretty well, and seem to be funded properly in order for the students to excel. I've been out of school for years and I still enjoy living in my hometown! Read Less
