Mayor Ness using Twitter for flood info?
Does anybody know if Duluth Mayor Don Ness is on Twitter? I seem to recall a mention about it, but I can’t seem to find him on Twitter.

Wow CDs. So ancient.
YouTube synopsis: Midnight release of Guns N’ Roses “Use Your Illusion” albums on September 17, 1991. This video was shot at DJ’s Record Shop which used to be located in the Belknap Plaza in Superior, Wisconsin. The interview is with the owner of the record store.
Some friends and I are trying to put together a new fantasy football league for the 2012 season. Most of us don’t spend a lot of time with other sports fans and we’re having trouble getting enough people together. I thought this might be a good place to look for participants. Also, we’d like most of the teams/participants to be from the Twin Ports area. We’ve yet to establish fees or specific scoring rules for this league and you’d be involved in that. We’re mostly creative types, music geeks and/or musicians who enjoy professional sports and hope to find similar people but would like to hear from anyone who’s interested. We really only ask that you’re excited about fantasy football and you’re not an asshole (sexist, racist, homophobe, etc.).
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, contact us at footballtwinports @ hotmail.com. Please don’t express interest solely in the comments section. I’m sure the comments will mostly be about how football is dumb, we’re lame and soccer is cooler, so I probably won’t bother reading the comments.
Thanks!
So, Research in Motion is in all likelihood on its way out in the near future. This bodes ill for me as I’m the proud(?) owner of a 9330.
In reality, I love my BlackBerry. It’s tough and reliable … although it’s difficult to get workable apps these days.
That said, my phone did take a damaging fall (down, but not out) which killed the LCD. I’ve got a white screen after boot up which didn’t change after several attempts and “tricks” in an attempt to correct the situation. (Battery removal, MicroSD card removal, etc.) I know it’s not the op system, as the phone still works.
I was at the DQ in Superior the other day. I think maybe the men’s room is designed for aliens. Anyway, next time you’re there see if you can reach the TP dispenser while sitting on the throne.
Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.
Today the Prisoner series ends at the Zinema 2 with an accompanying Nerd Nite.
Thursday Hair opens at the Playhouse and Side Show opens at the Harbor City International Theater for three week runs. Both promise to be great shows that will probably sell out, so get your tickets right away.
Also on Thursday Chris Monroe opens an exhibit at the Duluth Art Institute and A Peace of My Mind opens in the Zeitgeist Atrium.
Movies in the Park launches its season on Friday with Captain America in Leif Erikson Park.
It’s a hootenanny at the Wrenshall Barn Dance Weekend runs Friday through Sunday out at the Free Range Film Barn.
Get your gyro fix at the Taste of Greece Saturday and Sunday at Marshall School.
So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!`
(PS – This calendar editor is out of contact for the next two weeks, so if you submit an event now, be patient.)
I want to get married outside in Duluth with a nice view but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. What are some good places? And then I can’t decide if I’d want my wedding reception indoors or outdoors or at the same location as the ceremony. I need some ideas. I want it to be nice, but not too spendy.
Everyone has shared flood shots, how about any repair/cleanup/recovery shots? Road repairs, grading washouts etc. Not as much impact but something that should be saved for down the road showing how things came back together. People from afar are interested in how its going.

There are a lot of trails open and ready for use, but some are still badly damaged. Here’s the latest report from Duluth’s Parks and Recreation Dept.:
Have you ever seen someone hang glide in Duluth?
I think I did once, but it might just be a weird dream I had back when I was kid. What I remember is that I was at the Little League baseball end-of-season carnival/Olympics, or whatever it was, at Wheeler Fields. It would have been about 1984. I think I saw some guy launch off the hillside where “The Wall” is on Skyline Drive, and then land on one of the baseball fields at Wheeler.
Is hang gliding just a dying sport in general, or is there something about Duluth — maybe the lake winds are too unpredictable and strong or the hills aren’t high enough to produce a good “ridge lift” or whatever — that makes hang gliding here rare or impossible?
And whatever happened to the guy with the hot-air balloon?
The video is a tiny bit out of order, with Ness giving the band the key to the city in the beginning. Wilco talks about wanting the key later in the video. Ness drew one or wrote it on a sheet of paper. He was then hoisted up and made his way to the stage to give the key to lead singer Tweedy.
It was a nice family friendly show, but Wilco seems to have difficulty writing hooks in its songs. Good band and entertaining, but I am not sure what they think about all the local love. We may be coming off a little clingy.
