More ice cream, please!

A new neighborhood bar, called the Boreal House, is opening around 57th Avenue West on Friday the 14th to give people a different place to go on a night out.

Yesterday I went to order some Jimmy John's in the old Hollywood Video location and the phone was disconnected. I went to the building to check it out and it was like Jimmy's never existed there in the first place.

It's very interesting to see what kind of changes can happen over time. I grew up in West Duluth and recently found a video of a drive on Grand Avenue over 30 years ago. Let's compare the differences shall we?

The two-year project to upgrade Grand Avenue has started and now officials with the Minnesota Department of Transportation are announcing plans to keep the public informed along the way.

If you've ever driven between West Duluth and Gary-New Duluth, you know that Grand Avenue/Highway 23 is in rough shape.  The Minnesota Department of Transportation has entered a two-year project to fix the road and the first phase is about to begin.
