I am not a Wiki person but I am just putting this out there to those of you who are: check out the Duluth Public Schools Wikipedia Page. Not only is it outdated and lacks proofreading it is quite salacious and suggests “controversity” (sic) without evidence to support those claims. I don’t have the knowledge to update the page but would like to see something better out there!

The Duluth Urban Acres Coalition is studying how Duluthians access food and interact with the local food system. We’ve developed a brief survey that helps us get a sense of how people get food, what barriers (if any) they face when it comes to getting enough healthy food, and how they participate in the local food system. We’d love your input, so please go to the following link and tell us what you think!
Fat Tuesday is coming … and yesterday, at Mt. Royal, I found my annual fave, Mountain Dew Throwback.
So, where have you seen the made-with-sugar, not-corn-syrup delight called “Mountain Dew Throwback?” And what other sugar-soda delights are available in Duluth? Last year, I discovered the Mexican Coke at Cub via this thread. I’m open to other, maybe even local? sodas.
And: last year, I discovered that not all Super Ones are the same. The Paczki delights vary from location to location. Last year, the Lakeside Super One was awesomest — best in taste and appearance. But where will I find them this year?
