History

My husband and I were talking about drinking through a straw last night and I said, "Remember those crazy straws?  The ones that were all curly? I use to love drinking my chocolate milk through it!"  He said, "YES!  Loved mine, EVERY kid had one of those growing up!"  Really?  Every kid?

We are seriously considering purchase of these bricks to outline our current sidewalk from garage to house.  I think it's cool that a historic piece of downtown Duluth could be on my property!  What a great conversation piece, plus, for years I've driven over them in my car and on the cycle.  Countless times I've run over them during Grandma's half marathon, it would truly be a piece of memorabili

I busted Ken playing Tetris on his Nintendo Game Boy AGAIN the other day at his desk.  So, when the 29th anniversary date of the game Tetris came up this week, we HAD to talk about it.  I knew of the game Tetris, but never played it until recently, so of course, he was teasing me. It's dubbed as one of the best-selling video games of all times.  Did you play it?

I'm a "lady of the 80's" and you will definitely see some 80's hair in THIS video!  I chose Diamond Rio as our "Solid Gold Pick of the Week" with a song I use to call, the ravioli song when I first started in radio, "Meet In The Middle".

  It's been 77 years since the 804 foot long German Airship Hindenburg crashed and burned in Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937.  There were 97 passengers, 36 of them perished in the disaster and it marked the end of the use of rigid airships in commercial air transportation.  It used hydrogen gas as fuel, but, according to History.com it was originally suppose to use helium gas.  Here is real f

It's been a long time coming, but one of two Duluthians from WWII, who received the Military’s highest honor, will be showcased in an upcoming local exhibit.

I chose the Desert Rose Band as my Solid Gold Pick  of the Week the beginning of this month.  One of their songs you would be most familiar with is "Love Reunited".  It was a release from their the bands self-titled album in 1987.  The group had disbanded, but after their publicist read my blog, he contacted me and guess what?  They are back together for a reunion tour!!!!

Make no bones about it, this is Waylon Jennings song!  He recorded it in 1980.  He wrote the song and it actually had two versions, one for the hit TV show, The Dukes of Hazzard, and a radio version. It became Waylon's 12th number one hit in Country music.  But, he wasn't the only one singing it and that lead to some confusion.

The Immigrant Waiting Room is now open  at the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center, the Depot.  It is the largest, new awe-inspiring exhibit to open at the Depot other than DAI gallery changes, in several years.  But wait.....there's more coming this summer!

If you're around my age, you probably once wished for a pair of HASH jeans.  I begged my mother for TWO years, before I finally got a pair of dark brown HASH cords (corduroy). HASH jeans fit most people really well, they had bell bottoms, a double star design and the letters HASH stitched in gold on the back pocket.  Remember?  Did you own a pair?
