   It’s funny ’cause it’s true.

   Did anyone else catch him credit “Chris Monroe” as a writer at the end of the show? Is that Marshall Hardware’s own Chris Monroe?

   As a life-long Duluthian, I would like to express my appreciation to those transplants of the last 10-20 years who have made this town better.

   I moved here in 2000. It was a good move.

   Thanks TimK! I can’t believe I’ve lived in Duluth for 17 years. Time flies when you are having fun. I loved when Keillor was saying, one isn’t “from” Duluth unless one is born here. It’s so, so true.

   Claire, absolutely. I laughed out loud when Garrison said that. As a 20 year resident, I can only say, “That is so, so true.”

   I’m so glad I was lucky enough to move up here!

   We transplants should get together and discuss our “moving to Duluth” experiences.

   Transplanted 3 months ago!! We got a kick out of this, as we are still getting our feelers… 🙂

    Transplanted in 1995. A get-together would be great. Could someone born & bred attend to show us the exact boundaries of Hunter’s Park, West Duluth, Piedmont, Goat Hill, Gary, etc? We’d buy you a beer.

    I drew up a sloppy map of the West Duluth boundaries recently. (Click on it to see it better.)

    

    Some day I might develop graphic art skills and maybe have enough free time to do this right. But probably not.

    I left (beat ass out of there) L.A. and planted myself here in October of 1993.

    No Lincoln Park? 😉
    I moved here in ’94, never looked back.

    This PDF is what I use to determine neighborhoods.

    The problem is that it doesn’t include certain neighborhoods that it should: like Morningside, or Goat Hill; and it merges neighborhoods that should be separate. It’s the only one I’ve found, however.

    I moved here in 1995, and I fully expect to die here as a pain-in-the-ass old woman who runs a boarding house for foreign exchange students. (Yes, that is my retirement plan. Florida is for pussies.)

    Had no idea you moved here the same year I did, Jim.
