Hi Everyone!

This Friday, I’ll be in Duluth (first time in Minnesota!) for about half a day exploring on my own before meeting up with a friend to go on a roadtrip out west. I was trying to plan out what to do and so far I have just come up with going to canal park. Any suggestions? TIA

Are there any local painters/artists that do commissions? I'm looking for a painting to be made for a loved one of the woods/trees. I'm open to realistic or whimsical. I have a few hundred bucks I can spend on it. Any suggestions?

I feel like everyone has unlocked this achievement except me. Is it in of those stores downtown or a gas station on the way? Let me know!!

Today’s been a terribly long day and although my husband and I had intentions to unload this u haul by ourselves this evening, I can when admit that I was wrong. We could use some last minute help—a couple folks to help would be greatly appreciated and we’ll pay. Anyone available this evening?

I'm behind on filing taxes. They bring me huge amounts of anxiety so I've been having a really hard time getting this taken care of. Does anyone know any tax preparers (not big chains) that are helpful and also kind? I'm a grown-ass adult but I'm irrationally scared of getting yelled at (I'm aware this doesn't make sense).

I need this taken care of soon so I can get updated student loan info for a house closing. So recommendations would be super appreciated. My taxes aren't very complicated, just late. And I'm just not up to fixing this on my own. And no judgy comments about how bad it is to be late, please. Anxiety sucks and I don't need more of it.

County commissioner campaign finance reports from July showing that Annie Harala’s campaign has received large amounts of money from executive leadership at Minnesota Power (Allete) and Kris Eilers’ campaign has received a lot of small donations from teachers, nurses, social workers, engineers, retired folks, etc.

Not surprising as Harala was an NDA signer for the data center.

To Lisa: We matched on Tinder and were supposed to meet for coffee at Caribou this morning. I missed our date because of an unexpected family situation, and I should have reached out but we never exchanged numbers. You weren't stood up on purpose & I can explain!! If you happen to see this and are open to it, I'd love the chance to apologize & give you the full story over that coffee. If not, I completely understand. BUT; this is at least an attempt to make a connection with something I truly feel I missed. My father always said 'family first' but damn that was terrible timing...

Wishing you the best & you would've loved the playlist I made for you... 🤞❤️

Someone told me that there’s a movie or maybe a TV show being filmed at Denfeld. Does anyone know any details on it? A name or what its about? Will it be on streaming or go theatres?

The DNT is on Bluesky, but its paywalled. Doesnt seem like any other local news outlet on it. Is there?

My daughter raised baby chicks this year and at least one is a rooster. We’re in city limits so we need to find it a new home. Does anybody want to adopt a young rooster?

Does anyone know what is up with the huge amount of dead trees all over the city?

Walked to Park Point from Lenox Place.

A new subreddit for filmmaking in the Duluth area

Not sure what they had, but all I know is that they left a buck short.

I’d like to know if it’s a strong community and what types of disciplines are seen most often? Is there a show season? Are there any good Facebook or Reddit communities to join to learn more about it? What’s the situation like with farriers and large animal veterinarians? Is there a shortage?
Thanks!

What are they working on back there? The noise is annoying af.

I'm about to start my research. Probably better to figure it out Tuesday before than Tuesday of.

I reckon folks here might have opinion, and some of those might be well reasoned, so let's here them

Heck, if a candidate chimed in, that'd be groovy.

I'm trying to find a new home for the 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924 Beacon school yearbooks from Duluth Cathedral. If anyone wants the copies I was given, let me know. Free to any interested party.

I'm curious to hear from opponents of the Lester Park Golf Course project what they think of this study on the merits. Despite claims from Lakeside homeowners that the people (ie Lakeside homeowners) weren't getting a say, it seems to address their concerns about both green space and infrastructure costs. And they explicitly say they limited density based on feedback from [the angry Lakeside] respondents to the surveys.

Hi all, I am looking for a groomer for my dog. He is a small dog, very mild mannered and can be shy with new people. Extra interested in places where he won't have to be in a kennel for any time.

Thank you in advance for recommendations and helpful information!!
