Had a wonderful Morgan Park experience yesterday. The boys and I hiked to the end of the rail line / peninsula that juts into the St. Louis River below the old Steel Mill site. Spent a few hours in gloriously warm spring weather punching holes in 2′ ice drowning wax worms. If [...]

Snowshoeing is good at Hartley Field this week. A friend and I were out Thursday. Though the wind was bone-chilling, the sunshine was glorious. We had the most fun on our return, cutting designs in the wind-swept snow on the pond.

Marcia Hales’ holiday lighting display (3700 block) offers a bit of whimsy, a bit of magic and a bit of respite. I encourage anyone who’s on the Point this weekend to take the time to walk through it. Make a wish on a penguin, watch a unicorn change colors, sip some hot cider and try [...]

Ski camp was held this week at Chester Bowl and youth ski lessons are underway. It was amazing to watch young non-skiers become budding beginners, able to take the chairlift up and ski down the big hill with the help of slightly older ski cadets. This is a wonderful program on a variety of levels. [...]

I’ve gotten a couple interesting phone calls due to the story. One from a neighbor very close to where this tower will go. He was mad that he was not informed. When I went back and read the planning commission notes where they talk about who was informed, I found that NO ONE except the [...]

The tower battle hit the front page of the Duluth News Tribune!

Wildlife officials say planned cell phone tower is danger to birds
By: Peter Passi, Duluth News Tribune

Citing concern for migrating birds, representatives of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have weighed in against a recent decision by the Duluth City Council to [...]

I’ve learned a bit in the last two months about politicians. City Councilors are elected to represent the taxpayers. I’ve learned that when elected, they magically become experts in whatever comes their way. Their egos swell as they become all knowing, comfortable, and confident in their every decision. We expect them to responsibly weigh the [...]

Sorry I haven’t been connecting with the Citizenry lately. Recovering from foot surgery and Watching “Dream of Life,” the Patti Smith documentary, on POV / PBS. Cool — 10 yrs in her life mostly shot in B&W 16 mm. Happy New Year everyone!

EPA Compromise Saves Great Lakes Jobs & Protects Environment

Washington, D.C. – The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) today finalized sweeping new air emission regulations for large ships in U.S. waters, including a temporary exemption for 13 U.S.-Flag steamships on the Great Lakes as part of a legislative compromise brokered by Representatives Dave Obey (D-WI) and [...]

Thank you, I am just using the format that is available from the blog host here at Duluth Citizen.org. I’m so busy with my message that I’ve not really spent time designing my blog.

Like Jon Winter, I find it offensive to dub Superior “South Duluth.” Linking Superior with Duluth would imply Superior has an equally goofy city council and school board, which is false, and that Superior is an equally poor place to conduct business, also untrue. It would further imply Superior has equally poor streets, overpriced parking [...]

OBEY, KOHL SECURE FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR FRASER SHIPYARDS

WASHINGTON DC – Congressman Dave Obey (D-WI) and Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) announced today they had secured $2 million for the City of Superior in the federal budget for the U.S. Department of Transportation to assist with the expansion and improvement of Fraser Shipyards in Superior. The [...]

Superior Bullish on Business Growth & Development

Superior is living up to its name.

The Wisconsin city at the head of greatest of the Great Lakes is building a new reputation for business growth and development.

Coming off a year-long national recession, Superior is racking up some pretty impressive statistics. In September, the city had the third [...]

The person that started this page might live in Superior but not a good representative of our city of the area on this side. He has lived in Superior a short period of time and not well connected in the community. Appears after I questioned him he left the page as admin or removed [...]

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your comments.

We started a Superior Group. This page was started by someone who lives in Superior. A user just like you.

Believe me, we understand the importance of maintaining a hyper-local site. Eventually when we get our stuff together and launch the full site we’d be happy to have a few [...]

This page is a bunch of crap. The admin left after I made some critical comments. I don’t think many from this side of the bridge are going to care or take this site very seriously. Just a step above craigslist rant and raves.

“The world  is changing so quickly. What we can see now we might not see again in the future, then it is more meaningful if it was recorded.”

Those were the remark of Steve McCurry, photographer who became an international figure for National Geographic digest in an interview with journalists not long time ago.

It can not [...]
