At the festival at Bayfront, Kate and I met SM Johnson, who was sharing a booth with a local alt-weekly. (I asked whether this was a “split” booth and they replied that it was a “shared” booth, which tells you a lot about the awesome community at the festival. Anyway.)
I see that Dr. Bernabo has read one of Johnson’s novels (DeVante’s Children, Torquere Press 2008). She maintains a blog, too. Anybody else read one?
Where can I take hipster guests that is off the beaten path. Fun trails? Goofy shops? A-typical eating? Quirky destinations?
For instance, I’ve heard of Graffiti Graveyard, but I have no idea where it is – would this be a neat place to show someone interested in “real” Duluth and has already ohhh’d and ahhhh’d over the bridge?
What other neato gems are there out there?

My family has lost its camera, a Canon SD870IS. It should have pictures of us at the Bubble Fest last weekend. That may be where we lost it, but we can’t remember. Please comment or email me, seagroves at gmail dot com, if you think you may have it — we would really really appreciate it!
The Junior League of Duluth is an organization of great women who have been positively impacting the Twin Ports community for over 90 years.
Most people who live in Duluth, Minnesota know about Duluth, Georgia. Just today, however, I discovered that there is a third Duluth — Duluth, Kansas. I had no idea.
I have been taking care of critters and their homes for about 7-8 years here in Duluth while their owners are on vacation and such and was recently thinking of making up fliers and business cards. Would I have to “register” or something as a business owner? Is there a certain amount of money you need to make to have to pay taxes? I just don’t want to do something illegal by accident. Any help appreciated.
Has anybody else being driven crazy by all the mosquitoes in Duluth the past week?! Seriously, it’s like Alaska out there. I can’t work in the yard without getting drained. I can’t ever remember it being this bad. Theories? (Sustained west winds? Moth spraying killed all the dragonflies? Hurricane Irene sucking them all down from northern Canada?)
Stolen 1971 BMW
My cousin had his bike stolen from the Hillside (9th & 10th Avenue East area) Friday night/Saturday morning. Easily identifiable, 1971 BMW, desert tan paint. Ammo cans were off at time of theft. Please call the DPD if you see this bike, it is one of a kind and hard to miss. Or if you are not the type of person to call the cops, post here or call me at 218-591-five seven ate five.

I have a 4′ x 8′ sheet of picture window glass, double glazed and (I assume) gas filled.
It’s yours for $50 if you pick it up yourself. Bring some friends: it’s one heavy piece of glass.
I know someone here will have the answer!
Chester Creek used to pond inside the park due to a dam that broke out many years ago. Does anyone know why they’ve never replaced it?
