I was up and ready at my computer Monday morning when tickets went on sale for Sir Elton’s upcoming Duluth performance on May 6. Unfortunately,  after much ‘refreshing’ and ‘searching’ I did not secure tickets for my wife and I. Looks like tickets are readily available for a much larger price on Stubhub; not sure if I’m willing to drop that much cash though.

Anyone else have a similar experience, or were you able to land tickets?

I am a journalism student at UMD, working on a story that involves Morley Heights, a neighborhood in East Duluth. I am curious to learn more about this neighborhood that was once constructed in Barksdale, Wis. Many of the homes were then moved to Duluth for employees working at the Marshall-Wells Company. It has been said that some of these homes were probably purchased from the DuPont Company at Barksdale and then each were floated across the lake to be re-constructed in Morley Heights. If someone has more information on this housing project or a connection with a potential source for my story, I would greatly appreciate it!

Are you interested in citizen diplomacy? Then come to the next meeting of the Duluth-Rania, Iraq Friendship Exchange: Thursday, Feb. 24, 7pm, in the Fireside Room of the UCC Peace Church. We are looking for people interested in going on the next delegation trip to Rania in late May to early June. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity! Build bridges of peace and cultural exchange between our communities!  For more information, see our website.
