Where is the $lizzard?
Last I saw of the Homegrown $lizzard, Knifey was running wildly down Superior Street.

I’m looking for a Duluth-area photographer that wants to go to the Dominican Republic around February 2012. I’m gettin’ hitched down there and need someone who’s willing to eat and drink all they want for a few days and snap some photos of my family, friends, myself and my beautiful wife-to-be. The only qualifications you need are to have experience in professional photography and to know how to keep up with some fun people that want to get down in paradise. Comment to leave info to set up a meeting i.e. phone number, e-mail, website to your portfolio.
Open to everyone; over $1,500 in prizes!
Enter the Duluth Photography Institute‘s first annual 2011 Photography Contest. Five categories. Early bird registration discount ends soon.
It’s that time of year again, the time when we magically change the secret folder that makes random silly pictures appear at the top of the PDD page. We’re looking for your Homegrown photos! So follow the same guidelines for submitting photos, but send us Homegrown-related images. You know, people drinking beer, playing rawknroll, hanging out, scans of your long-form birth certificate, and so on. We’ll rotate homegrown images during next week’s festivities.

For those of you who have been waiting and wondering… will there be a Homegrown Photo Show (it was inadvertently left out of the schedule)…
The answer is YES.
This one is probably pretty easy, but bonus if you know what it’s for. (I don’t, so you could probably make something up.)

Where can this Big Dipper be found in Duluth? (Offer void to those who saw my Nerd Nite presentation – you already had your chance to guess.)
This was difficult at Nerd Nite, so I’ll post more pictures if nobody gets it.
And no, the answer isn’t Sacred Heart at 7:30PM on April 9.
I was reading this month’s new FDL Band Newspaper (PDF) and about halfway through I found a breezy little history piece on Chief Buffalo: Hero of the Lake Superior Ojibwe by historian Christine Carlson. The article was already interesting, then I notice mention of Duluth’s Point of Rocks which has been discussed extensively here on PDD. It sounds like the area surrounding Point of Rocks was selected by Chief Buffalo as part of one of the articles of the Treaty of 1854. The area would have also included Wisconsin Point and much of what is now considered Downtown Duluth and West End/Lincoln Park.

Not only cool that it’s there, but damn if it isn’t interactive (after the jump)!
If someone has shared this before, I apologize … I’m kinda geeked up about it right now.
Andrew Sullivan’s blog features a contest called “The View From Your Window” where people submit views, as it were, from their windows, and people have to guess where in the world it is. This week features a view familiar to Duluthians. He quotes my entry but I didn’t win.
