May 17, 2012 Earlier this week you may have heard of a construction project in Duluth that would have closed the Northbound I-535 ramp over Garfield Avenue in Duluth.
May 14, 2012 The main thing to keep in mind is to check your area for restrictions before you burn, and obtain proper permits so that you are aware of restrictions which may impact you. Best to error on the side of caution on this. While many burning restrictions remain in place, the Department of Natural Resources is lifting them in several northern Minnesota counties yet this week.
May 12, 2012 The 2012 Minnesota fishing opener is upon us! Wisconsin got a head start but now it's game on for everyone. Minnesota sells about 1.3 million fishing licenses each year and a large percentage of those people will be out this weekend (with mom's permission of course).
May 8, 2012 These pictures don't do my new hair color (right) justice. You just can't duplicate the vibrancy of my R E D (thanks to Doug and Shear Katz Salon) in the sunlight!!!
Let me lay the background: my heritage is unique. Half Filipino and half Irish. The Filipino gives me olive skin. Some say the Irish half gives me a bit of a temper, (I have no idea what they're talking about), what I DO know, is it gives me red highlights in my otherwise plain dark brown/black hair.
May 5, 2012 Why let I35 have all the fun? As summer in the Northland approaches, the road repairs and construction are right there waiting. I just received word that projects to build a new bridge over Highway 53 at Highway 33 and repair the northbound Highway 53 bridge over the Cloquet River in Independence begin May 8.
From the press release, the following lane restrictions are scheduled:
May 4, 2012 You can't beat Cinco de Mayo landing on a weekend this year! You also can't beat this Pee Wee dance! No excuses, get out there and celebrate. Or make your own margaritas at home with some great take home mixers.
May 3, 2012 Start looking around your house for a couple of antiques you think may have great value, and mark your calendar for Wednesday March 16th. Bring up to two items to the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center for a free appraisal of your antiques or collectible items. The St. Louis County Historical Society has arranged for Dan Sershon of Northland Estate Services and Denny Mager of Northern Specialty, both experts in antique appraisal, to be at your service from noon until 3 pm in the rotunda.
May 3, 2012 Wednesday was an absolutely beautiful day in the Northland. I love this time of year, with the anticipation of summer and all the fun it brings. This is also the time of year that motorcycles come out and more and more runners and people on bikes share the roads with drivers. It's a great vibe to have people out enjoying themselves, but it's also a great time to remind everyone to please pay close attention to their surroundings and look out for each other. I can speak first hand of this, as I've been out running several days a week for several weeks and am concerned of what I see while running on the road.
April 30, 2012 Have a stump that you can't pull out of the yard for one reason or the other? Here's an idea for you! We didn't want to dig up the yard to get the stump out, and this is near our fire ring, so I decided to make a table. Pretty easy!
April 26, 2012 Today is "Take Your Child To Work Day," and sadly I don't think I will ever be able to participate in this day. At least not with my current job. Here's why I can't take my four year old to work as a morning show host
April 26, 2012 It's always fun to bring your little ones to the playground with the swings, climbing and slides. Well doctors are seeing more and broken legs on toddlers who visit playgrounds with adults. It turns out your best intentions as a parent could lead to injury for your child. This story explains why the thing you need to avoid joining your toddler on is the big-kid slide (although I would shy away from too many "under-dogs" too)!
April 25, 2012 Today I was really craving Pasta Fagiola from Olive Garden. I know, it's strange, but that's what I wanted. I asked Cathy if she wanted to go out for lunch and she couldn't decide. She told me to go by myself. Going out to eat by yourself? Here's the 8 things you can't do by yourself without feeling awkward in the Twin Ports.
