Unsalted, Issue 1: Remnants

The premiere issue of Unsalted magazine is off the presses. Free copies are available at the St. Louis County Depot and can eventually be found at a few other locations in Duluth and nearby communities.

The new biannual print publication explores the personalities, culture, natural elements and manmade relics at the head of the Great Lakes. The St. Louis County Depot is coordinating the project, partnering with the design firm Graphic Science for creative direction and the arts and culture website Perfect Duluth Day for content development. 

The debut issue centers on the theme “remnants,” and includes an in-depth report on the past and uncertain future of Duluth's oldest existing piece of architecture, the Minnesota Point Lighthouse. It also features the return of Chris Monroe’s “Violet Days” comic strip, graveyard musings from History Hailey, stories from Virginia and Chisholm, and outstanding photography.

The articles in the magazine are only available in print and will not appear on Perfect Duluth Day or elsewhere online. Some supplementary content related to the magazine’s key stories, however, will occasionally pop up on PDD.
