I've been very happy with dotphoto.com

Yes, I live in a suburb of Minneapolis.

I have tried the Costo 1 hour photo with OK results. But nothing to
compare to at the moment. I am waiting on the same prints from mpix. I
have yet to find a local place that allows me to upload and pickup.
Costco is doing this for many states, but not yet Minnesota. I know it
is in the works for Target. Still, I would like to see some of the more
professional printers like mpix work with something locally.

One thing I've found is that the pricing for 4x6 printing of digital photos
in the US is fairly competitive. But most retailers and online photo
printers charge 2 or 3 times as much to print a 5x7 digital photo as a 4x6
photo. I've only found one US location so far that does the 5x7 at a
reasonable price - winkflash.com. If there are any others, let me know.

By the way, last week I just received back a few photos I sent to WinkFlash,
and the quality was great, as good as I've ever seen from my Canon dSLR.
