Duluth student, Tara Mortenson, received one hundred dollars from a fellow peer for project “Pay it Forward.” She is now on a “Pay it Forward” journey along with local radio station 97.3 who developed the “Drive Through Difference” project.
You can read more about this effort and Tara’s experience at LakeVoice News. LakeVoice News is a weekly online publication produced by UMD journalism students. The stories are reported on and written by students, but the content is for the community.
You can also follow Tara Mortenson on Twitter @Tbird99 for an update of her journey. If you have been involved in the “Pay It Forward” effort we would like to hear about it. You can email your stories and/or pictures to [email protected]
Why isn’t anyone talking about this? I ran across it by accident and I think it’s awesome. (Though I’ll sadly be out of town.)

The gin may not be cold (or available), but the dancing is certainly hot in the Duluth Playhouse’s production of Chicago. Set in a Prohibition-era Windy City, Chicago is inhabited by irredeemable (yet likable) hucksters and hustlers, all dancing for their lives. The bondage-lite costumes and the spare, gritty set only rarely hint at the Jazz Age, but that’s just as well: the story at the heart of Chicago, about crime, corruption, sensational journalism, the cult of celebrity and all that jazz, feels contemporary and relatable.
