July 31, 2012 After the flood, one the hardest hit businesses over the hill was Grandmas Restaurant. After countless hours of cleanup and remodeling, Grandmas on the hill is all set to once again open to the public and they will also help other flood victims.
July 24, 2012 Everyone is familiar with the story now. Twelve people were killed and 58 wounded early Friday morning when a gunman walked into a sold out midnight showing of the latest Batman film in Aurora and opened fire. Some Good news to come out of the tragedy from Warner Bros, the producer of the movie.
July 24, 2012 With all the costs and delays that we encounter at the Airport, this new report is delivered to the American public and I am angry. U.S. airlines bring in more revenue from fees for bags and other products and services than do the world’s other carriers, a new report released today reveals.
July 20, 2012 Sometimes I hate the fact that I am so busy I don't take the time to learn and understand all there is to offer, even when it's something I can't see. I look at Lake Superior several times a day. I appreciate the beauty, most of the time I curse the cold, forceful wind, and on hot days, I am happy to have the Lake too cool off in while heating up on the beach while getting a tan. But, there's a lot going on UNDER the water that is out of sight, out of mind.
June 13, 2012 You have just been told you are an expectant mother. You're going to have a BABY!!! You're so happy, your significant other is thrilled. The grandparents are going to be ecstatic! Then, you're hit with a morning sickness! UGH!
May 23, 2012 Just when we thought it was getting out of hand to charge us for our baggage, stop giving us food and snacks, and charge us convenience fees.

May 23, 2012 If you have issues with your storm sewer drain system, don't like the pot holes on your road, want to discuss taxes for your neighborhood, or just want to give the Mayor an "atta boy"! You have that opportunity to get face to face with him next Tuesday.
April 27, 2012 This is most certainly good news for Duluth and the employees who work at the local processing center. Sen. Al Franken sees the craziness in having mail sent from one local address to another having to be processed in St. Paul. Let's hope our local processing center is never targeted again to be closed.
April 24, 2012 I don't think anyone doubts that Governor Mark Dayton will sign this bill. Synthetic drugs have been targeted for awhile and I think this type of legislation will become standard. They key to this bill is that new chemicals can be added to the bill over time, so as new synthetics get created, they can quickly become illegal to sell. That means places like Duluth's Last Place On Earth may find it difficult to work around this bill and sell synthetics.
What are your thoughts on synthetic drugs and this bill?
April 24, 2012 I have the honor of emceeing the Hermantown Chamber's unWINEd 2012! I hope you make plans for a fun evening of sampling, food, friends and fun! Here's the details.
April 10, 2012 We've seen the old gas stations closed down for years on the corner of 28th and Superior. I had heard rumors about their being a new CVS pharmacy being built there for quite some time.
Looks like it's getting started. I noticed on Thursday that the excavators were parked by the gas stations, and this morning they began demolishing the old buildings to make room for one of three new CVS pharmacy's coming to the Twin Ports.
March 29, 2012 While several elements of the economy, such as the housing market, are on the rebound, some companies are still adapting their business model. I would think the Duluth store would be safe as that Best Buy store is really the only of its kind in the community. That's not to say there's no competition for the goods and services it does sell. As this story states, I think we will see less of this huge stores and more smaller specialty stores where you can get some training and other one on one things.

Best Buy Co. Inc. said Thursday that it will close 50 big box stores this year and eliminate 400 jobs, mostly at
