parking

The City of Duluth has been introducing the new parking payment service, replacing parking meters in Downtown Duluth.  This started a couple of years ago, and for the most part it goes pretty smooth.  However, I parked on the 300 block of Superior Street the other day and ran into problems, and if I had the app downloaded it would have gone much smoother.

A common problem has a not-so-common solution.

It's the most wonderful time of the year and the most anticipated parade of the season in the Northland.  The Christmas City of the North Parade!  Bundle up the family and continue a tradition that started in 1958.  Of course, certain roadways will be closed to accommodate the parade participants and there will be some road detours.  Here is some useful information that will make your night most e

West Michigan Street is now rolling into their 4th phase of construction and that will affect the 4th Avenue West parking ramp.  Here's the scoop!

My husband and I wait for this day and celebrate!  The significance is that we can start parking in "our lot" near the Lakewalk without having to pay for parking.  I'm not the only Duluth resident that is bummed that I pay taxes year round and all summer long I have to pay to park and use my own City's amenities. But, that's not the case for the next few months.

The weather has certainly cooperated for families to get out and enjoy Bentleyville early this year!  Last weekend we were driving Southbound on I-35 and saw a HUGE back-up on the Northbound lanes near Bentleyville.  I immediately asked my husband if there was a UMD hockey game, symphony performance or something that was causing the back-up.  It was Bentleyville and that has prompted the Duluth Po

It'll be an exciting busy night at the Duluth Heritage Sports Center with the Perkin's High School Hockey Frenzy pitting the Duluth East Greyhounds against the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton Lumberjacks in the first game at 6p.  Then the Duluth Denfeld Hunters will take on the Hermantown Hawks in an 8p match-up.  It's expected to be a sell-out crowd, so satellite parking has been arranged.

Several public parking lots and ramps are available in the vicinity of Downtown Duluth and in limited places along the earlier parts of the course for spectators to use as a part of Grandma's Marathon.
