Downtown Duluth Meters Extended?

I was just downtown and parked at the meters in front of Pizza Luce and the Technology Village. I noticed that the hours that the meters were enforced was until 9pm.  It looked like there was a new sticker covering up the old one.  When did this change, and does anyone know if it is actually enforced?  I just noticed it, could have been there for a while before.

Class Action Lawsuit re: Duluth Roads?

With tax time upon us,  one has to wonder where all of the money is going that is supposed to be maintaining our roads?

How many roads have gone without repair this year because funding was instead redirected to horrific ideas like installing an ‘s’ curve at the end of the freeway where it joins to London Road?

What kind of brilliant ‘road engineer’ would go out of the way to bend traffic with a ‘I’ll show you’ attitude regarding a speed drop from 50, to 40? Is the message here that he would rather see faster moving men, women, and children in a horrific accident then to be traveling fast?

Is that the same mentality behind the ‘speed bump’ pot-holes? What’s next?  Barrels in the road that we will have to weave between?

Merging on I-35 — Please Stop the Madness

Yesterday I was cruising along the highway at 60-odd miles per hour when another car came speeding down a ramp and almost was on top of me. I thought about changing lanes but there was a car coming up in the left lane.

I watched the situation develop, waiting to see if Captain Clueless on the ramp was going to slow down — or speed up enough to “beat” me — but there was no adjustment. With a car length or two between us I hit the breaks and the horn hoping to avert catastrophe. No one hurt, thank God. But I’m tired of people merging into traffic expecting me to change lanes to suit them.

Duluth Tire Shops

Anybody have suggestions on where to go to find inexpensive and reliable tires? I know of all of the ‘regular’ spots, but I thought you all may have some other good suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Vote for Loup-Garou!

Loup-Garou is in Are You Local? hosted by the star tribune and vita.mn. We’re one of very few bands outside of the metro area in the contest. It would mean a ton to us if you could take a few minutes out of your day and vote for us and show some of that Duluth support! You’ll also get a chance to hear the first track from our I Am Blind EP, coming out at Beaner’s on the 26th of February (playing with The People Say Fox and MPLS’s Party House)

All you have to do is go here and register (they ask for only your email) and rate our song a 10! Be sure to check out the other bands on the roster as well, a ton of great artists and groups that i’m sure are familiar names.

The top 3 bands get featured in Vita.MN magazine and play a showcase at the Varsity Theater on March 4th. One group advances from that showcase down to Texas for SXSW.

Super easy scam opportunity!!
