August 18, 2014 To be able to say our Nation's Christmas tree proudly standing on the Capitol lawn during the holidays came from your home state is a big deal and if you live in Minnesota you have bragging rights for 2014!

July 1, 2014 Honestly, I just don't have a criminal mind, or time to come up with how to scam people. I don't know why, but I'm always shocked to learn of the different ways people can steal your money and identity. You seriously need to keep your guard up at all times. I always try to share scam information when it comes across my desk so you are aware. This time it comes from the State of Wisconsin Lottery. Beware, no matter what State you play in!
June 23, 2014 Downtown Duluth holds such wonderful childhood memories for me. My uncle Russell was a VP at North Shore Bank in the early 70's and I would visit him at his big desk. From there we would walk to Oreck's, Glass Block and I absolutely loved going to Woolworth's. That was an era before there was an Interstate 35, so traveling to downtown Duluth was just as fun as shopping.
June 17, 2014 The City of Duluth was just voted #1 in the Country for best Town in America to live in. It's possible for you to OWN a piece of Northland history for residents and visitors to enjoy.

June 13, 2014 Farley's Family Restaurant has proven to be a favorite of the Northland by taking top honors in our Pizza and Wing Showdown held May 8 at UMD's Kirby Ballroom. They took #1 in the Pizza Division two years in a row and 2nd place in the Wing Division. We were excited to taste what delectable dish they were going to come up with for Bacon Palooza and they did it again, taking home the trophy voted the BEST by bacon connoisseurs who attended. That honor has them vying for a place at the World Food Championships in Vegas.
June 6, 2014 Let's face it, unless you grew up with the technology needed to use a computer, it can be very intimidating. Personally, I have enough knowledge to function with social media and get my job done, but I KNOW there is a plethora of valuable info to learn. If you're in the same boat, here's the opportunity to get in on FREE classes with the Duluth Public Library.
June 2, 2014 It's a sure sign of summer when you see/hear three things in Canal Park. The 4-person canopy bicycles chugging along the lakewalk, the clippity clop of the horse drawn carriages and the Duluth Transit Authority's Port Town Trolley back in service. The nostalgic look of the trolley just adds to our city's enchantment!
