Not only did Duluth help raise the lovely Olympian runner Kara Goucher for a short time at Duluth East, but ultramarathoner Scott Jurek calls it his hometown.

Some of you were in a discussion in February about what UMD Journalists should name their online news organization. Thank you for all of your suggestions!
We would like to announce our name and website. We called it “Lake Voice” after an old French newspaper in Duluth, “Voix du Lac.” We focus on community news.
Please check us out and feel free to give any feedback.

“Thieves Like Us” is a feature-length action comedy (Jackie Chan style) made for about $3,200. There are two screenings at the Duluth Playground — March 5 and 6 at 7:30 pm.
