I sent one receiver off to Ident 9 weeks ago and it's still not back yet. I really don't want to wait that long on my next SBR. Do any of you know a firearm engraver local to Minneapolis or Saint Paul? I don't need any fancy designs done, just the required name and city/state.

Orion Arms is in Lino Lakes (I believe).  It's not a drop in shop (i.e. you still have to send them your lower) but I believe their wait times are substantially shorter than 8+ weeks.

They did my first SBR and I'll probably have them do my next one, also.

Plenty of trophy shops and Mall kiosk that will do as you wait or grab a engraving pen and do it yourself if you have a steady hand

Careful:
Q: Is a license needed to engage in the business of engraving, customizing, refinishing or repairing firearms?

Yes. A person conducting such activities as a business is considered to be a gunsmith within the definition of a dealer.

[27 CFR 478.11]

I know many like to say "so long as you're there while it's done."  If that were true, I would have been engraving for a while now.

+1 for Orion. They had mine returned in 3 business days. Only pain is you have to ship it to them even if you live a mile away.

Orion did one of mine a while back, good job.  I know he used to be willing to meet you someplace, not sure if he still does that.
