Lakewalk

A couple of summers ago, my kid brother Grant had a limp.  We were in the middle of hauling boxes and I assumed he was just being a typical lazy teenager and was limping to get out of the work that needed to be done.  "Brush it off, pick it up and let's get moving."  The next time I saw him, he still had the limp and he wasn't looking so good.  That's where it all started.

You will soon find new additions to the Lakewalk in Duluth.  The Friends of the Lakewalk, in partnership with the City of Duluth,will start by installing three new information kiosks, with more to come.  You don't have to be a tourist to appreciate information about things we have come to take for granted in our city.

As we mentioned earlier this week, the Leif Erickson Viking ship will be moved tomorrow morning.  Now the City has announced that the move will cause a temporary closure of the lakewalk for much of the day tomorrow.
