We are just days away from a very busy holiday weekend. There are a ton of events going on in Duluth, with a majority happening at Bayfront Festival Park for the long fourth of July weekend. Bayfront Country Jam kicks off a weekend of fun with country star Jake Owen...

It's interesting to see what people have to say about their trips to the Northland. The Twin Ports is a beautiful place, but sometimes we tend to forget in our busy lives just how lucky we are to live here.

Known either as mountain lions or cougars, these big cats are rarely seen in Minnesota - but they are spotted from time to time. While confirmed sightings only happen a couple times a year around the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there have been a handful of reports on the North Shore in June of 2022.

MINNEAPOLIS -- AP -- Walker Kessler will bring a 7-foot-1 presence and prolific shot-blocking ability to Minnesota, a welcome complement in the post to star Karl-Anthony Towns even if his playing time is limited during his debut NBA season.

In early June, 2022, the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation Department announced they would be temporarily closing the sport court at the Wheeler Athletic Complex so that it could be striped while also allowing an acrylic coating to be added to the dedicated pickleball courts. These were among the final elements to be completed under the current scope of work for the larger West Duluth Sports Corridor Mini-Master Plan implementation project.

This is one title that we will absolutely take! Minnesota was just named one of the best states for summer roads trips and despite the price of gas right now, I would happen to agree. There are always studies being done and about just about every topic under the sun....

The main route on and off the Blatnik Bridge on the Minnesota side in Duluth will see intersection closures that will bring major traffic impacts to drivers for two days this week. The expected impacts are so large that the Minnesota Department of Transportation is suggesting that drivers try to utilize the Bong Bridge instead for the two day stretch.

When you live in a place as historic as Duluth, there are bound to be some haunted places in town. I just learned about one of these haunted spots and it is located in the heart of downtown Duluth. Minnesota and Wisconsin both have a ton of haunted places for...

The Goonies is perhaps one of the most memorable films of the ’80s. For a long time, no one thought a sequel would ever be possible. That is until Gail Berman was able to pull some strings at Disney+. The new series is tentatively titled Our Time. The dream...

While it might seem hard to believe, we're already at the accepted halfway point of the summer season. And because Independence Day (4th of July) falls on a Monday this year, most people will get a long weekend out of it. The holiday - and the long weekend - will...

Renting a room in your home - even for a day - will now require a license and an inspection. The City of Superior has moved to change its ordinance on the issue, with an effective date of January 1, 2023. The City Council made the affirmative vote at its meeting on June 21.

There is now a new mobile coffee shop in Duluth to get your brewed cup of joe on the go. The family operated business ran by a couple is called Portage Coffee Camper and they opened up last week!
