If you are reading this through your Google Reader, you already know you won’t be after July 1. If you’re not, you probably don’t care. But in case further explanation is necessary, read “RIP Google Reader” on Mashable.

NorShor tower to return

Remember two-and-a-half years ago when we speculated about bringing back the old NorShor tower?

Apparently, the speculation is over.

Developer: NorShor Theatre’s tower marquee will rise again

The story seems to indicate the tower will be built from scratch rather than refurbished, which leaves open the question of what happened to the original tower.

Nice day for a ski …

One might even say “perfect.”

Rivulets – “I Don’t Want to be Found”

Rivulets is the musical outlet of part-time Duluthian Nathan Amundson. The new video is directed by Adam Barnick.
