Group Ride to Courthouse
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.
Bumper Pool
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.
For Torr…
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
This Saturday: Psychedelic Inferno…
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!
Nature Identification Quiz
Is that a hawk, a turkey vulture or a twig?
(Shot today in Duluth, along the western hillside.)
Camping Gear for Rent in Duluth
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?

Flower King from Duluth
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”).
Moooooo.
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?
It’s that time again!!!
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 🙂
“The Courtiers”
Sept. 3, 6 to 8 p.m.
Beaner’s Central
Featuring music by professional pianist Samuel Black.
Window Watching
I’ve always wondered about how the window placements on this house came about. It’s on Arrowhead Road, east of Kenwood Super One. I’m a fan of big windows, so this house and its lack thereof always sticks out as I drive by.
In a way I guess it’s kind of smart, because it probably cuts down on noise from the busy street. But there must be some window-less rooms up on that second floor. I wonder what could be done with that massive blank spot in front.
Anyone know more about this place?
Keep Aways and DTs at Pizza Luce
Update #2: Erik Berry is apparently still in the hospital as of today. We hope for his quick recovery! As for the price of the show, which has changed numerous times … ya know what? maybe no one even knows. Hope to see you there!
