A few weeks ago, a car passed me that had a window sticker that looked like the North Face logo, except it said “The North Shore.” I’d never seen it before, and it’s one of the first stickers I feel is worthy of putting on my car.
Anyone know where I can find it?
My cat is missing. His name is Cuthbert Burbage and if you see him please contact me, Lawrence, at ironic1@ ironic1.com. He was last seen near the corner of London Road and 52nd Avenue East around 9:15 this morning. Thanks.
Update: He’s back! My neighbor saw him and let him back into my house while I was out! Thanks for all who kept their eyes open!
Where can I buy it in Duluth? Bought some awesome frozen ones at Trader Joe’s in Mpls.
Minnesota native Andrew Turpening has lived in Cuba and studied Afro-Cuban music at the National School of Arts in Havana. He’s pulled together some equally talented friends for a little benefit for the Pastors for Peace aid caravan/blockade challenge to Cuba. Expect Cuban standards (think Buena Vista Social Club), a little classic Argentinian music, and dance…
Today at about 1pm I was headed down East Superior Street, and in front of the DAIP building there was a crowd with some telescope-ish looking items. Does anyone know what was going on or see it as well? I was quite confused, since they were all facing toward the Sheraton.

This circulated in my Facebook stream, asking if it was the Duluth or Minneapolis ABC station. No, it’s Rochester. A flatter, warmer, duller (save for this!) Duluth.

The Morley Heights playground project is moving forward quickly! On Saturday, July 10, our equipment will be delivered to the park and we will need plenty of volunteers to help us assemble it.
We are planning two assembly shifts for the 10th. The first will run from 8am to noon and the second from 1pm to 5pm. No previous construction experience necessary – we just need lots of people power.
If you want to help out, please email me (mickeypearson @ gmail.com) and indicate your availability for that weekend.
Many thanks for your interest and help!

4:30pm — Holy cow the emergency siren went off and a tornado watch has been issued in Duluth. I can’t remember ever hearing that siren go off for realsies before. And it’s so nice out.
According to the National Weather Service’s Duluth forecast office: “Hail and heavy rain reported on Highway 20 just inside St. Louis County.”
4:50pm — It’s actually a severe thunderstorm warning. The tornado watch siren was sounded by mistake. And it’s still sunny and hot in Duluth.
5:30pm — Clouds are creeping in. Faint traces of drizzle. People who are mowing their lawns have begun jogging.
5:45pm — Rumblings in the distance. Is that thunder or an airplane?
6:00pm — A little lightening over the hill. The storm seems to be mostly north of Duluth.
6:20pm — Things seem to be slowly shifting … slowly … holy cow! Run for cover! Or grab a swimsuit and have some fun! No! Don’t do that! Haaaaail! Watch out for flying deck furniture!
6:25pm — Whew. I guess that’s it. Just a little rain now. National Weather Service’s Duluth forecast office: “An aluminum flag pole was snapped in half by the wind (in Proctor). Pea-size hail.”
8:15pm — Lordy mama! Is it coming back? Yikes. Well … I guess it’s not as furious this time. Or maybe I’m less easily impressed.
9:16pm — National Weather Service’s Duluth forecast office: “A 6-to-7-inch-diameter tree snapped off, State Highway 27 (in Brule).”
How do we get ahold of this agent?

There is a great fundraiser for the Food Bank going on tonight called Grill Wars. It takes place in the courtyard behind Fitgers and features a friendly burger competition between local vendors, and lots of free beef to stuff your gourd with. A cash or non-perishable food donation is all that is required, and beer is for sale. 5-7 pm. See you there!
