Join your friends and neighbors for Duluth LISC and the At Home in Duluth Collaborative’s fourth annual Neighborhood Celebration on Saturday, Oct. 2.

The event opens at Clyde Iron Works (2920 W. Michigan St.) with a free breakfast from 8:30 – 9:45 am, and features a program starting at 10:45 am, during which five Duluth Neighborhood Heroes will be honored. Along with free entertainment, childcare and fun activities, and transportation, attendees can visit dozens of resource tables, offering valuable information and tips from community-minded businesses and organizations from 8:30 am to noon.

The public is warmly invited to this free, family-oriented event. Together, we’ll celebrate successes — past, present and future — in Duluth’s five core neighborhoods: East Hillside, Central Hillside, Lincoln Park, West Duluth and Morgan Park. To make childcare or transportation reservations, call Duluth LISC at 727-7761.

Upset Duluth

Sep 10, 2010 90 Comments

Every month or so there is a story in the Duluth News Tribune about a community member or group of people upset about something. The story usually features a photo like the one above, shot by Bob King.

I don’t mean to make light of any of the issues these people are upset about, or be critical at all of the photography. Just the opposite. What I’m saying is, for some reason I love these photos. Seriously.

I wasn’t born to follow

Summer is over, maples are turning and birds are migrating. I was reminded of this old song … and being of that era, this movie, and thankful some things do not change. Move on, PDD.

There is no word on which hiker might be freed. One of them, Shane Bauer, is a Minnesotan. His sister and brother-in-law live in Duluth, and he also has family in Shakopee and Pine City.

Blue Laws are Stupid, Post #2

Sep 08, 2010 28 Comments

One of the questions on the 2010 House of Representatives State Fair Poll (conducted by Minnesota House Public Information Services) was:

Do you believe liquor stores and automobile dealers should be permitted to open on Sundays?

And the results …
Yes ………… 6,742 | 68%
No ………….. 2,480 | 25%
Undecided …… 668 | 7%

So, were the 25 percent who said no all from Lakeside?

(This really ought to be a series. Link to post #1 here.)

Film: “Election Day”
Election Day combines 11 stories – shot simultaneously on Nov. 2, 2004, from dawn until long past midnight – into one. Factory workers, ex-felons, harried moms, Native American activists and diligent poll watchers, from South Dakota to Florida, take the process of democracy into their own hands. The result: an entertaining, inspiring and sometimes unsettling  tapestry of citizens determined on one fateful day to make their votes count.

Oktoberfest Beers

Sep 08, 2010 11 Comments

It is probably safe to say fall is peeking its head around the corner. This is great for many reasons and one of them is the Oktoberfest beers are trickling in. Thus far I have had Hoptober from New Belgium and Oktoberfests from Summit, Schells, and Becks. To this point I have to say I like Schells the best. What are your favorites? I understand Fitger’s does a couple of very nice fall seasonal brews!
