Ken and I posed the question on Facebook "what stores do you remember that use to exist in the Miller Hill Mall"?  You were terrific in sparking our memories!  I thought I was doing well with Tivoli (the store that says, "it's I love it spelled backwards), and I was really reaching for Berman's Buckskins, but I don't know how many times I said, "oh my gosh, I totally forgot tha

Several individuals in our area, who have made a significant contribution to the arts and culture of the region, will be honored by the Depot Foundation at the Thirteenth Annual Arts and Culture Awards ceremony. It will be held in conjunction with the Circle of Friends Celebration on Thursday October 18.

My husband showed me this video.  A "come her honey and watch this" moment.  I was busy and the last thing I wanted to do was watch a youtube video, but I'm glad I did.  I was awestruck at what it takes to get the NASA Mars Rover into space and thought about the intricate accuracy of every detail it demonstrates.  I'm sure you'll find it fascinating too and want to share it, like I did. 

The whole family is invited to the Hermantown Harvest Fest!  The organizers have been working hard to make sure the day is filled with family fun activities.  There are demonstrations, children's activities, displays and over 100 vendors selling their hand-crafted wares.

  Every day I am reminded how my world has evolved with new the world's new technology.   My daughter stares at me in disbelief when I tell her how things USED to be.   From scoring our own bowling (no electronic scoring back then), to having to go IN to the convenience store every time we pumped gas.  There was no Ticketmaster, Amazon or eBay.....THIS was how you got the latest HOT CD (oh, no DVD

It's hard to travel through the town of Wrenshall today and not see or hear a reference to the "brickyard".  Whether it's the "Brickyard Restaurant,” or "Brickyard Days,” a town festival in August. It probably doesn't make sense unless you hear the story of how a gentleman named Mr...

Welcome open arms, the community of Hermantown welcomes you.  I've heard this, but found it to be true, when I contacted the Hermantown History Center to gather information for this blog.  So informative, so willing to share their information and so interesting.  I hope my blog will peak your interest to explore the Hermantown History Center for yourself, some day soon!

Over a century after their infamous family feud ended, the Hatfields and McCoys have made history once again, this time on TV. History’s three-part miniseries, which concluded last night, is now the highest rated non-sports broadcast in basic cable history. That’s something any Hatfield or McCoy would be proud of.

A community landmark that was built in 1952 to commemorate the service of WWII and Korean War veterans from Gary New Duluth.  After 60 years of honor, this Northland landmark is in desperate need of repair.  Plus, there's plans to do build a new monument to recognize additional veterans.  Can you help?
