… but we’re going to be working hard to get rid of our stuff!

Find yourself heading south on 35 this Friday or Saturday? Take the Esko/Thompson exit. Hang a right at the top and you’ll be looking for 34 W. Riverside Drive. (it’s the second road on your left).

We’ll be there from 9-1 on Friday and 10-? on Saturday, and we need to move this stuff! We’ve got bikes, furniture, art, game systems, clothes, etc. After you’ve found your treasure, head into Esko to check out the happenings.

Anyone have a favorite campsite at George H. Crosby/ Manitou state park? I always used to go to #5, but want input on other fabulous spots, on the river. Your thoughts?

My name is Olive. I’m looking for a new home to call my own.

Thought I’d pass along an update to the early July post regarding parking around the Cathedral on Sunday:

We were all gently reminded today not to park on Wallace or in any illegal parking areas today after mass. The police have informed Father Peter they will start ticketing next week. A nice reminder that sometimes if you call the police, or the source of your problem, you can get things done! Hopefully tickets will work … people are still walking in for mass at 11 a.m. and the mass time was changed to 10:30 a.m. a couple of months ago. I suspect that will continue for a couple of years.

Wednesday, August 3, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the Lincoln Park Skate Shack.

Proceeds go to Twin Ports Action Coalition.

Indian tacos are only $5, dessert frybread is $3 and the new ultimate dessert frybread is $4.

Maybe this is already somewhere on the webs, but wouldn’t it be nice to have somewhere to go to see how warm/cold the lake is before venturing down for a swim? I’m not talking exact temps per say, but a simple, yeah, the water off the point is “vagina aching cold” today, or, the water at Brighton is “just peed in the lake” warm, come on down. Of course, it’s never a bad idea to mosey on down to the lake and find out for yourself, but it would be way cool to have a temp update too.

Tony ‘I Wish I Had My Life Back’ Hayward of BP oil ‘spill’ fame has landed his feet squarely in our backyard – as the Environmental Officer for GlenCore, the PI for the planned sulfide mining project near Hoyt Lakes.

Any dirty hippies/concerned citizens/people who simply love the Northland out there want to protest this thing?

During attic clean out I came across the remnants of an old beer and soda can collection put together during the 1970s.  It is about 500 cans, mostly pull tab but also a few flat tops.  Cool old Schmidt scenery cans, and the like.  Anyone know any can collectors in the Duluth area that might be interested in looking through them for gems?
