With the Homegrown Music Festival coming up PDD launched a series of polls five weeks ago, tournament style, to determine which Duluth-area band has the sweetest pic. Last week Dead Guys defeated Mary Bue. This week we ask …
Which band has the better publicity photo?
Loading ...This poll is now closed. The results were:
Tangier 57 – 76.5 percent
Duck Duck Punch – 23.5 percent
Note: Only people who are logged in to their Perfect Duluth Day blogging account are allowed to vote (to prevent people from voting multiple times). To create an account, click here. If you need help figuring it out, click here.
Best Adventure Hub Runner-Up: Duluth, Minnesota
Note: The stat “81 miles of running and hiking trails” seems like an underestimate to me. Perhaps we should tally them up in the comments.
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.
Being Duluth has been recognized as the Outdoor mecca we all know it to be, it seems someone around here would do canoe repairs. Does anyone know of someone who does? I have a Tripper that needs patching and I don’t have the know how or the space. Any help would be great.
Mont du Lac Recreation has been building mountain bike trails that are amazing. Last summer a shuttle was offered to take riders from the bottom of the trails to the top. This summer promises to be an amazing one as well, with shuttle dates to be announced.
Finally had time to prep Chris’ t-shirt art. This is the art for the band, volunteer and pre-sale shirts.
Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.
Today Sarah Brokke opens a new exhibit at Zeitgeist Arts or you could go to a gallery discussion at the Duluth Arts Institute.
On Tuesday you can get all sans serif at the Zinema 2 with a screening of Helvetica, the last movie in their Gary Hustwit design trilogy.
What should we do with Rockridge Elementary? You can chime in with your ideas on Wednesday in an open meeting at Portman Community Center.
Cats opens at the Duluth Playhouse on Thursday and runs for two weekends. Also opening that night is How I Learned to Drive at UMD and it runs through the end of the month.
Friday is the Ides of March and in Duluth that means a series of concerts where bands pay tribute to their musical influences. The series starts on Friday at Lake Avenue Café and heads to R. T.’s on Saturday and concludes next Friday at Pizza Lucé.
Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day and there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate, including:
So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know.
Yes, this weekend marked the crowning moment in Minnesota high school hockey — the opportunity to rank the best flow from the state tourney. Duluth and Hermantown were well represented on 2013 All Hockey Hair Team.
The latest asshole person to do so? Someone with bundles and bundles of Budgeteer papers and ads that decided to toss them off the overlook (for unknown motives; I’ll keep my hypothesis to myself). As I was walking my dog today I stumbled upon this disgusting site.
I want to build this barrel smoker I found on Reddit, but I don’t know where to find a 55-gallon food-grade drum. Since everyone was very helpful with my sticker question I figured I would tap the PDD well again.
Popular Mechanics: Build Your Own Smoker From a 55-Gallon Drum
CrossFit has finally made it to Duluth!
One might even say “perfect.”
