Duluth Motorcycle Mechanics
I am looking for a mechanic to help me keep my 1988 Honda NX250 running. Preferably a mom-and-pop shop for all my motorcycle repair needs, or someone who works on bikes on the side for cash/barter. Will drive up to 100 miles outside of the Twin Ports if needed. Any advice is appreciated!

North Shore prime
If you can find a place to park other than the side of Highway 61, this would would be an ideal weekend to explore North Shore state parks without all the crowds. Boldly enter at the gates or use the trails (SHT) running into them. And the lupines up the shore are stunning right now.
Busking in Duluth
I’ve been reading a lot about the possibilities of busking in Duluth, and I still can’t really tell what the verdict is. I went to the city site to see if there is actually a form or something, and I saw nothing.
So, is busking in town free of licensing? It seems to be the case, but I can’t be 100 percent sure.
Also, is the audition process something you must do? There was a lot of coverage of the “official” buskers, but I couldn’t see anything about whether they were the only people allowed to play on the street.
What do the yellow flags mean at Park Point beach accesses?
We saw them at Tot Lot and the firehall on Park Point. Riptide? E. coli? What?
First Lutheran Church Worship in Leif Erikson Park

Battle for Duluth
I heard this morning about World of Fourcraft which uses Foursquare as an engine for a giant game with teams trying to take over New York City.
So, fellow nerds, why don’t we have this for the Twin Ports? Anyone want to tackle this? Sounds like great fun! Imagine Cakeeaters battling marauding hordes of displaced Trojans. I mean, just the team names would be a hoot!

The Formal Age with Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses
The Formal Age are a local indie rock band reminiscent of the Cars or the Hold Steady. They are “new” band, but the members are all veteran players who have been a part of the scene since the late 90s. They debuted at Homegrown under the name “A Team / B Team”.
Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses is a 6 piece “string band” that specializes in high-energy, modernized versions of old songs taken from Americana and Roots music along with a healthy dose of original music.
It should be a great show with lots of variety.

Where in Duluth?
Could be a trick question because of the traveling nature of the Professor’s merchandise. But even though the flames suggest some crazy zooming around town, this has been in the same place each time I saw it.
Vitta Pizza
A couple weeks ago, Vitta Pizza opened in Canal Park. It’s in the spot that Northern Lights Books used to be in, 307 Canal Park Drive. They cook the pizza in a wood-fired oven, and it’s pretty tasty.

Head’s Up…
The Munger Trail is CLOSED between the Grand Ave./Co. Rd. 23 bridge and the 93rd. Ave. W. bridge. Figured I’d save somebody the leg work.
Happy eighth birthday to us
Perfect Duluth Day is eight years old today – Wednesday, June 29. We’ll be celebrating tonight at Burrito Union around 8:30ish. Stop on by. There will be a weird cake and an array of door prizes. (We’ll probably be out on the deck — space and weather permitting — so look there first. Find the people with cake on their lips.)
Also, yours truly (Paul Lundgren) will be a guest today on “The Local” with Christine Dean the Radio Queen, celebrating PDD’s birthday by playing songs with “Duluth” in the lyrics or title. That’s at 5 p.m. on 103.3 FM KUMD.
Thanks to Barrett and Starfire for starting this thing and to all you bloggers, cloggers and corn doggers who keep it going. We’re on a pace to hit 10,000 posts before the end of the year. That’s kind of something.
