April 21, 2014 It's expected with the spring-like weather we've been experiencing. Wet, soggy trails that are used for running, hiking and biking. The scenery is beautiful, but the footing unsteady and to save the trail from being worn down and damaged, we need to refrain from using it until we dry up (which will hopefully be soon!)
April 4, 2014 Confidence, quick decision making and the "love of the game" is what the City of Duluth Parks and Rec Department is looking for. They are in need of additional umpires for this softball season and YOU might just be the right person for the job!
March 28, 2014 I'm sure people who don't read this blog will wonder if the city of Duluth neglected to pay their light bill when the Aerial Lift Bridge's lights go dark tomorrow. Truth of the matter is there's a very good reason for it and the community will be joining millions around the world!
March 21, 2014 I've noticed several water main breaks around my neighborhood in West Duluth, but so far (knock on wood), our household hasn't been affected. Even a "scheduled" water interruption is a disruption in ones day. Today, in all the snow, there is a water main break that the City of Duluth wants those it affects to be aware of. Does it affect you?
March 14, 2014 The flood of June 2012 changed so many lives and the structure of the Northland. To this day we are still dealing with it's affect. Personally, I now have a basement that leaks (as many people do) due to warmer temps and snow melting. My electric bill will be atrocious because our wet/dry vac is running continuously. Much of the Northland was restructured including our stream, rivers and creeks and the City of Duluth is asking for your suggestions as they prepare to stabilize the banks of Stewart Creek. Ideas?
March 10, 2014 If your vehicle is parked in the areas that the City of Duluth will be removing snow tomorrow, it may be towed. Find out where the crews will be working here.

I know, it's hard enough to remember which side of the street you should be parked on. Most of us rely on trusting our neighbors (most we've never met) to be on top of it and we just follow their lead. Due to the recent snow accumulation posing significant challenges the Duluth Police Department will be enforcing the parking ordinance and issuing tickets for those that don't comply.
February 2, 2014 Get ready, they're coming!
UPDATE: Now that the City of Duluth have the trial parking pay stations along the one-block stretch of 300 West Superior Street. They are looking for your feedback.
January 26, 2014 You may have already experienced automated technology in our city. I have used them several times in the Canal Park district. (and yes, you can still get a parking ticket if you don't pay....someone told me that, lol). I have to admit, the street looks cleaner without the parking meters. Now, they're going to try it in downtown Duluth. What do you think of the new technology?
January 22, 2014 Have you ever wished you could be heard? How many times have you turned to another person and said "I could do a better job"? Here's your chance to prove it! If you are a resident of the second district of the City of Duluth, you are encouraged to apply for the vacant city council seat.
January 4, 2014 My co-host Ken and I just talked about the fact that my husband and I had gotten a parking ticket which HE forgot to pay. We received a second notice, I got after him and it was paid immediately. If you have one (or more) that you've been putting off paying, you may want to "git r' done" before the fine increases.
