Boycott the Pickwick Restaurant!
Following months of unsuccessful negotiations and numerous unfair labor practices, Workers United Local 99 is asking that the public boycott the Pickwick restaurant.

Tickets to Daniel Johnston at First Avenue are $14 each. So, two tickets would be $28, right? That seems reasonable to me.
What? Oh, there’s a service charge. Well, I suppose that’s not a big deal. How much more could it be, really?
What? Over 60 percent more? All right, in that case I guess I’ll just throw my keyboard through my monitor and change my plans for Aug. 13.
All models come equipped with a trailer filled with mufflerless ATVs, shotguns, and chainsaws. Rear- and front-mounted machine guns are available for an extra charge. See your dealer for details.
Dear Duluthians,
You might have seen some of my art at Bohemia Arts, and if not, please do come see it, because if you like it: I am hoping to trade existing paintings, commissions, and/or mural work for a) a decent bike b) a canoe in working order c) a kayak that floats and/or d) misc hauling equipment and useful accessories for said objects. Or other awesome stuff to trade for might be considered too…
Thank you kindly,
maria sippola

Pickup Baseball Game
Sunday, July 19 | 3:30 p.m.
Chester Bowl Park
That’s baseball, not softball. This is a pickup game for grownups who can’t remember the last time they felt the ol’ wood smack the cowhide. Pitches will be lobbed, not that anyone who can throw hard will show up anyway.
There’s nothing official about this game, I just got the invite and was told to spread the word. If there’s an organized youth soccer game or something else going on at Chester, the game might get moved to Woodland or something, so it might help to show up on time if you want to be in the know about a possible relocation.
YWCA Spirit Valley Young Mother’s Program will be holding their annual fundraising rummage sale this friday and saturday from 8-3 both days. We have clothing for babies, kids, teens and women, a ton of household items, toys and hidden treasures galore!
Join us at 411 N 57th Ave W. in the old Moose Lodge building.
This story just went up on the News Tribune web site and I swear they are using the cubicles from their office. I remember an earlier post that talked about the same things and this looks familiar except last time they took the image down fairly quickly. Am I crazy or am I right?
Bohemia Arts is revamped and revitalized, and is looking for artists to show work. We are currently seeking artists for monthly featured shows, general showing, teaching, and demonstrations. Still not sure what we are? We’re a fine art supply store, gallery and studio, and proud to be run by a group of volunteer local artists. Come check it out!
Bohemia Arts 22 N 1st Ave W Downtown Duluth 722-2919
M-F 10-5:30 Sat 10-2
After the Friday & Saturday night performance of “Matt & Ben” at Teatro Zuccone (Superior Street) stick around to hear Lucie Amundsen’s self-effacing stories of everyday drama.
Many of these works have been heard on Minnesota Public Radio and printed in Minnesota Monthly, the Star Tribune and other publications.
When Lucie is not actively embarrassing her family, she writes articles on everything from generators, faucet repair and how to make a lovely vase out of
corn husks.
(Matt & Ben Play is $15; reading after play is free and will start around 9pm)
Last night while driving on Arrowhead Road, I came upon a series of brick houses that all look alike. They are around Stebner Road and seem to be built in the 30s or 40s. They all seem to be on an acre or so of land and look identical. It seems that since they appear to be built in the 30s or 40s, they would have been out in the country when they were new. Was this an old housing development, kit houses or anything interesting or just a developer with one design?
choice items:
PA Speakers – $300
Roland VS-890 24 bit digital workstation – $250 – SOLD
Edirol powered studio monitors – $100 – SOLD
American Telecaster (sunburst) – $700
Lots of misc. recording gear
Men’s & women’s clothing & shoes
Dining room table
Mark your calendar – July 25 – new local art fair at the College of St. Scholastica
Stopover at Woman-Made: Marvelous Things Created by Northland Women on July 25.
This Art & Quality Craft Fair will be held on the last Saturday in July from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the College of St. Scholastica, Somers Lounge, 1200 Kenwood Ave.. in Duluth
This summer event (indoors, so it doesn’t matter what the weather is) will offer locals and tourists a spectacular place to shop for one-of a kind and handcrafted items made by over 25 local artists – all women.
Local made pottery, photography, artwork, clothing, sewn items, calendars, soap, water color art, fiber, books, as well as jewelry. It’s fun to see what moves people and the creativity flow that is alive and well in the Northland. Women-made items are a definite part of the businesses up here in the region and hand-made. Come to the fair and purchase plenty items to take home for yourself or as gifts.
A portion of the vendor fees will be donated to the YWCA Girl Power program.

To the Mr. or Miss. who put this note on my car window Thursday night / Friday morning … you’ve got the wrong VW Golf.
Man this note leaves a lot of questions…
