While training for Grandma's Half Marathon (which has been very difficult with the snow we've gotten so late in the Spring), we park in the Canal and run across the Aerial Lift Bridge and down the Point all the time.  It never occurred to me that there could be potential danger lurking above me, other than from the pigeons.  I'm still planning on using one of our City's icons, but we'll definitely be cautious.  Thanks to the City for watching out for us!

This is a sure sign that Spring is here to stay. The first oceangoing vessel of the 2011 shipping season arrived in the Port of Duluth-Superior this morning. The Cyprus-flagged Federal Leda (Lee-da) sailed beneath the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge at 7:10 a.m.

Her arrival marked the first saltwater vessel (“saltie”) into the Twin Ports this year to have transited the Great Lake St. Lawrence Seaway system. Do you know when the earliest arrival of a "Saltie in Duluth was?" Find out the answer after the break.
