What is open in Duluth on Thanksgiving? We used to travel to the TC to go to Dunn Bros. for coffee (they were open until noon), reading the Black Friday ads, then down to a casino for a magnificent dinner buffet.
Where can I snag some coffee and dinner in Duluth on this most Thankful of Days?
The Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial folks and the various offices and commissions on diversity at UMD co-sponsored a day on “truth and reconciliation” on Nov. 4. The Griggs Center (a large multimedia-capable meet space seating 200, I’d guess) was filled with students, faculty and staff. Julia and Dick of CJMM walked the audience through the history of the lynching, the history of the memorial, and through some basic reflections on racism as personally experienced and as structurally defined.
The day included showing videos and a reading by Michael Fedo, as well as a tour of the Memorial.

I’m grateful that this resource was available to the UMD community. The day was a success.
The Zombies were out in force last week. They will be out in force again this weekend, and every weekend until Zinema 2 gives notice!
Watch Walking Dead, again, at Zinema, free at 9pm Sunday. Support the local cinema and support Dragon Port comics and games, its partner.
Dragon Port Games and Comics will host the premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead on Oct. 31, Halloween night, at the Zinema2 movie theater in Downtown Duluth.
Robert Kirman’s award-winning comic series focuses on the human condition in a post-apocalyptic world, making for a fantastic adventure into the popular genre of zombies and drama. Follow Rick Grimes in his adventures as he awakens, alone and confused, trying to make his way home to his wife, Lori and son, Carl — all the while meeting new folks along the way and trying to survive.
The pilot introduces us to several main characters directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile) that will come across as both dramatic and emotional.
Tickets are available at Dragon Port Games and Comics with the purchase of any Walking Dead-related item.

In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to begin living.
Please don’t say Wal-Mart.
All day, maybe once an hour, sirens racing down London Road behind our apartment. Tourists with heat stroke or something else I should know about?
Where can I buy it in Duluth? Bought some awesome frozen ones at Trader Joe’s in Mpls.

I’m looking for two seasonal foods:
1. Any stores with Mountain Dew Throwback still in stock … a gas station, a grocer — anything. This is number 1 priority.
2. Pepsi Throwback. Same deal. The no-HFCs is attractive to me.
I have developed a slight Mountain Dew Throwback problem — a love for a soda that I grew up on, with NO HFCs. I avoid HFCs where possible.
But where can I find this tasty soda in Duluth? Do you know of a gas station or corner shop that still has some?
