Maybe this could be an inspiration for the upcoming holidays?

 27th Ave W and Michigan St? 

Oh great, I finally get one and it's the "easy" one.  I'll never win.  

As for the inspiration, I agree wholeheartedly.  With my meager holiday budget I enjoy buying (and eating) local goods.

Reddomain is correct! It is on the east facing wall of the building that occuppies 2812-2818 W. 3rd Street. I will try to take a pucture of entire wall next time I head out that way.

When do we get the 2011 edition of the PDD holiday shopping guide?

Any chance for shameless self-promotion?  P.S.  I heard whispers that Miner's is tearing down a block of old houses in Superior to build a new Super One.  I sent corporate an e-mail inquiry but haven't heard back.  Anyone w/ connections to Miner's know if there may be some salvage opportunities?  P.S.S.  Looks like CVS's acquisitions in Duluth won't create the chance to save many elements (except strip mall stuff).  Although their Superior expansion looks like it will take down a 1/2 block of old houses.  Left voicemails to the construction manager in the SE US, and predictably have not heard back.  Cheers.

johnm - yes. The way it works has been this - we post a dozen or so things that we've found that are locally-made-or-connected gift ideas, then the comments are opened up for more ideas.
Here is last year's pile of fun.
