When oven coils ignite …

So, when your oven makes a weird sound and you look inside to find a little flame coming from a hole in the coil, does that mean you should call a repairman or plan on replacing the whole unit?

Anyone qualified to help me mentally prepare for how big of a hit the ol’ credit card is going to take when Daugherty’s opens on Monday, chime in .

Canal Park Adventure Zone

Stopped down at the Canal Park Adventure Zone today with Mrs. Goose and the Goslings. Had to be dragged there is a little more like it. My wife got some free passes to the Laser Tag so I couldn’t very well say “no,” could I? So we went.

Ball to the Wall

A friend is conducting his motorbike from Minnesota to the South Pole. After painstaking deliberation, I decided for the sake of education, as he is an educator of troubled youth, that he wouldn’t mind if you guys snuck a peak.

Beer, Wine, and Trampled by Turtles!

Don’t wait to get your tickets for the newest beer and wine fest around town (these things are known to sell out, even without the Trampled show post-party). You can get them online. Hope to see some of you there! (PS – I tried to get a room at Black Bear last week because I have friends coming up from Mpls, and they were sold out. If you’re worried about driving, there’s a free shuttle between Fond-du-Luth & Black Bear all night. Keep it safe!)

Downtown Duluth Meters Extended?

I was just downtown and parked at the meters in front of Pizza Luce and the Technology Village. I noticed that the hours that the meters were enforced was until 9pm.  It looked like there was a new sticker covering up the old one.  When did this change, and does anyone know if it is actually enforced?  I just noticed it, could have been there for a while before.

Anybody have suggestions on where to go to find inexpensive and reliable tires? I know of all of the ‘regular’ spots, but I thought you all may have some other good suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Duluth Superior Pride Logo Contest! $300

Duluth Superior Pride is looking for an artist type to design our logo! We have two theme ideas for you to base your work on. 1. Some version of “These colors don’t run” or “After 25 years, These colors still don’t run” that incorporated the queer rainbow. 2. Silver going for the Gold. ( A play on 25 being the silver anniversary since its our 25th anniversary of the Pride Festival in the Twin Ports.)

Now Here’s a Duluth Job Opportunity

Once again, the City of Duluth has posted a job opening for the position of Aerial Lift Bridge Operator.

I’ve always thought that if I had this job, I could go around calling myself “Mr. Duluth.” It is, from an outsider’s standpoint at least, pretty much the classic Duluth job.

Cooking Classes in Duluth

I am wondering where to look for a community education-type cooking class in Duluth. Any suggestions?

Spanish For Young Minds in Proctor

We are currently seeking to fill a small group of 3-4 young minds (3 and 4 year olds) for informal Spanish instruction in our home to run for 4 to 6 weeks at which point the venue may switch to a Hermantown location.
