My friend Peter Sinclair, who actually is the grandson of an Iron Ranger, has posted a special message about the Duluth Flood on his Climate Crocks web space. Very enlightening insight indeed, and the other Crocks will give you plenty of ammunition the next time your idiot brother in law shoots his mouth off. Be well.
Just when we thought everyone in the Northland was awesome and we were all in this flood recovery, there comes word that there were numerous break-ins and robberies at the flooded River Place Campground next to Boy Scout Landing in Gary. I know that at least five campers were forcibly broken into and significant amounts of property were stolen (including cash and firearms). This occurred on the night of June 23 and/or the morning of June 24 and possible on a few nights previous to that. I have asked the DNT to do a story on it so that some awareness is out there. If anyone hears any information that may be somehow helpful in catching the baddies, please notify the Duluth Police Department.
Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.
Duluthians are stepping forward to rebuild our community after the flood. Volunteers are needed at Chester Bowl tonight. Do you know of other organized clean up activities? Let us know.
Coyote releases their new album on Thursday at the Teatro Zuccone and, before he permanently skips town, you can see Marc Gartman play solo at Fitger’s Brewhouse on Wednesday.
Le Cirque Rouge Cabaret & Burlesque Show, founded by Duluth native Amy Buchanan, plays at the Teatro Zuccone on Friday and Saturday.
There will be cake. Friday marks 9 years of this little local idiosyncratic blog. Happy birthday, Perfect Duluth Day! See the people behind the avatars and raise a glass or two at Tycoons.
So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!`
