Support three local cyclists who have been receiving tickets for “impeding traffic” while they were riding legally on the city designated bike route in downtown Duluth. There will be a free breakfast from 7-8 a.m. Sept. 15 at Leif Erickson Statue, followed by a group bike ride to the court house for the three’s first court date.
When was the last time you played bumper pool? For me, I think it was in my grandmother’s basement in about 1984. I’m totally in the mood for a game right now. I must get the bumper pool itch every 25 years.
I was asked to pass this along (time intentionally vague-my understanding is we have no need for “rules” or “formalities”):
This Thursday Evening – R.T. Quinlan’s
Ok, so Batteries aren’t that psychedelic, but you really need to see Daughters of the Sun and Vampire Hands, two of the finest and most unique groups out of mpls., and Total Freedom Rock? Get out of town, man!
Is that a hawk, a turkey vulture or a twig?
(Shot today in Duluth, along the western hillside.)
I am looking for a business that rents camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, camp stoves, etc.). We are planning a short weekend camping trip and aren’t quite ready to go all out and purchase everything. Is there anywhere in Duluth or Superior that offers this kind of service? Also, is there anywhere that rents small fishing boats?

I’d like to welcome the best month in Duluth.
“The Cartoonist and the Kid” featuring cartoons by father-daughter combo, Jim Richardson (40) and Violet Richardson (11).
This show documents the cartoons I did during the Ripsaw years about my child when she was between the ages of 2 and 4. There are a couple of our collaborations on display from when she was 5. The show ends up by displaying her solo work from the past two years (with a new feature “Spike and Slurp” not seen at last year’s show).
Musical guests Total Freedom Rock will do a set at 6:30.
Refreshments will be served.
Lots of stuff going on in Superior during Pride Festival, including this.
Robert Isabell
Did you know the man behind Kennedy weddings and funerals, Studio 54 parties, presidential events and countless Vogue parties was from Duluth? Neither did I. You may not care about flowers and fashion, but this article in W magazine about Robert Isabell from Duluth is somewhat interesting (though they do refer to Duluth as “nowhere”).
There’s an entry on the DNT’s Attic blog about milkmen. Which made me want a milkman to come to my house and bring me delicious dairy-ness. I tried to find someone online, but either my Google-fu is failing me, or the milkman has become extinct.
Anybody doing this still?
Get your bike out and ride. Bring a jacket. We’ll probably do about 60 miles, last month’s ride was about 70, and extremely nice. We even had some beers on my porch. But that’s beside the point, which is get out your bike and ride, because this is Duluth and there will be ice on the roads in a month 🙂
