Paul on Embedded link posts seem to work with most things but not New York Times
They work on our live site, but yeah, it might be the subscription part that's screwing it up here. https://www.perfectduluthday.com/tag/new-york-times/

Handwriting looks to me like ten rather than three days. Cool the house is still standing.

I found it: 2534 Woodland Ave. It's still there, and looks about the same as it did in 1910! At least according to Zillow. How...

Okay, well, as the newly self-appointed expert on Edwin Radcliffe I feel somewhat compelled to note that Radcliffe and Willoughby did design a Duluth Public...

Not sure. The obit is from FindaGrave, so maybe an effort at privacy for the still-living.

She was a bona fide history nerd, it looks like. Is that her brother's name scratched out at the top?

Have you considered not including these anymore?
