Surprisingly impressed by Kia of Duluth
About a month ago I was on a return trip from the cities in my 1999 Corolla. A quarter mile from Pine City, I break down only to find out that I threw a rod. That meant I had to go car shopping.

This Friday, my dad (and uncle, I think) will accompany 2004 presidential candidate, David Cobb, on the Twin Ports leg of his national speaking tour for Move to Amend. Mr. Cobb will speak about the perils (i.e. 2010 WI governor’s race) of corporate personhood and what is happening, nationally, to abolish it. For those who don’t remember or weren’t aware, “The Monahan brothers” walked across the U.S. last May-October to raise awareness about this issue. So, come have a pint and/or some noms and get informed about an issue that is sure to foul up our lives for generations to come!
I am thinking seriously about picking up an older, used motorcycle in the interest of saving myself some money on these higher fuel prices. I am wondering if it is worth having a motorcycle for commuting in Duluth with our limited days of warmth. I am not averse to riding in cold weather if it is above freezing but would like to avoid snow, ice or any heavy rain. With that being said, are there any current riders out there have any knowledge on how many days a year you can actually ride your motorcycle in Duluth and if you feel like it is worth owning one in this climate?
We’ve tried Buffalo Wild Wings, which is a fun place, but it’s always good to have some options. Where else can one partake in the UFC ritual in this area?

I am looking to relocate my small office to another spot downtown. Somewhere in the area of Lake Avenue a few blocks east or west would be great. Any good ideas? I’m not super picky, but want some good light and clean, etc. Currently spending about $200 a month so I am also hoping to stay in that range.
I’m looking to see if we have an established HHH group in Duluth? If not we should it started up!
After nearly a year’s hiatus The Cheerleader is back and crankier than ever.
I am planning to order a solar heater system from Lakota Solar Enterprises. The total with installation is $2,000; system without installation is $1,400. There is a discount for multiple orders. Anyone interested?
The Duluth Energy Efficiency Program has entered the Green Awards, a program that recognizes individuals making a giant difference in communities across the country with $25,000 to further the work of their organizations. 25 percent of the award selection is based upon public online voting occurring from March 12-27. If awarded to DEEP, the proceeds would be utilized for development of a community energy classroom in Lincoln Park.
In the meantime… DEEP is offering rebates of up to $3,150 for Duluth households for energy home improvements. More info is available at duluthenergy.org.
After a few good northeasters this winter, the ice is stacked up deep on Park Point. You can read all about and find tips and directions in my blog.
Help – it’s a birthday cake emergency!
Does Patty Cake Cakes still exist? I know they were selling out of the Piedmont Milk House, but they’re no longer there. Does anyone know of another cake-baker who makes a german chocolate cake like Patty Cake’s?
My wife and I went to Lillian’s on First Street this week. I just recently noticed that something went into the old New Moon location when passing it on the bus, though apparently, they’ve been here since August.
