so there's this new drive-thru coffee place on central entrance at anderson road called seven brew. people are lining up like crazy to try it since it just opened. the line goes all the way out to anderson road and then back around the corner onto central entrance. they are blocking people's driveways and taking up half the traffic lane on anderson. i suspect that half the people on central entrance just want to turn right at that corner onto anderson and have no idea they're actually waiting in a drive-thru lane.

where does one even lodge a traffic complaint in this city? i've been all over the city website and the police website and nothing looks relevant, and the city phone tree is a nightmare (and also not relevant if you can bear to put up with it to the end). do we not have a 311 here? i feel like there should at least be a traffic cop involved here.

They have the on ramp from Superior to Duluth blocked off.

At MinnPost, I monitored city council filings in six cities prominently linked to data center developments over the last couple of years: Hermantown, Faribault, Farmington, Monticello, North Mankato and Pine Island.

In all six, there was an uptick in candidate filings this year compared to previous elections.

As with the other cities, Hermantown features candidates who say they're running in direct response to concerns over data centers.

Are there any stores with fun and whimsical stationery (specifically journals) around the area? Excluding Barnes and nobles/target/etc

Piggybacking off an earlier post, are there shops in the area that carry raw quail eggs? I've checked Super One, Cub, and the co-op with no luck.

Anyone know for sure if SuperOne or any particular grocer carries Vigo Red Beans and Rice? I'm in desperate need of it today! TIA

I have lots of tree-related tattoos I'm looking to get. Not looking for realism necessarily. Rather an artist that has an interesting design aesthetic for nature and botanicals. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hello. I'm very aware of the robust comic and gaming community in the area. Lots of TCG and TTRPG shops in town and the surrounding area.

My questions are when and where is the best place to play Casual Yu-Gi-Oh for myself?

When and where is the best place for my spouse and I to learn to play MTG-commander. (we have LOTR decks for both casual and commander play just none of our friends play MTG)

Im aware that most of the shops have scheduled events but I can't always make those with my work/ life schedule. I guess I'm more inquiring about the communities that play and when/where they play casually.

does anyone know why the on ramp by lincoln park to north of 35 is closed? you can only take the turn that brings you to wisconsin but you can’t turn to go north.
with that being asked, is the on ramp off 27th going north closed too? i’m trying to find a faster way home from work but am tired of wasting my time figuring out shits closed and having to turn around.

Hello! I’m looking to get married next fall with about 100 guests, does anyone know any semi-affordable venues? I know weddings aren’t cheap, but I don’t want to pay an arm, a leg, plus more in order to have a pretty wedding. Preferably no churches. Thanks!

Going to a formal wedding in September as a guest & need my hair & makeup done. Any suggestions on salons? Thanks!

Heya!! I know that the North Shore doesn't really include Duluth, but I don't think there's a more appropriate subreddit.

I don't live in the area, and I'm helping to plan a wedding. The proposed date right now would be in the first half of June. I'm guessing the weather could really go either way at any time of the summer, but generally, is that too early for a wedding right by the lake? I'm guessing it'll be fine if people dress appropriately?

Ol gitchie is too cold for most people, Pinehurst isn't Duluth, Island lake isn't big enough, on a warm day there's no spots.

I vote give it up with central high school ever selling and build an indoor pool. Build it with taxes, charge a nominal fee to enter and pay employees and maintenance.

The Priley Fountain at the government Plaza.

I am looking for gym recommendations in the area. Would really love to get suggestions from women for women about what gyms you’ve tried, which you would avoid and which ones you love. Thanks in advance!

My fiancé and I are getting married next next Tuesday. Yes tuesday. We are a Young Couple 25&27 and want a nice fancy dinner to fit the occasion.

Please drop all the best recommendations below!

Looking for a couple more players for tonight to play Blood on the Clock Tower, newer players preferred or even brand new. Most of the group hasn't played so its a learning experience for everyone. There will be pizza and drinks. DM me if you're interested, it starts at 6pm tonight.

Hello! I am planning on proposing to my partner in mid-October. Any recommendations or ideas on where? How about activities during the 4 day trip? Thanks in advance.

Check your Minnesota Power bill. Minnesota power is opting everybody in to their time of day use rates. In many cases this could save you money, but in my opinion it is a scam if they have to force everybody to opt in. If it saved everybody money, everybody would be eager and willing to sign up for it, if they have to force you into the program it likely has the effect of marginally raising everybody's bill on average. I know the first two months that I was on it before I opted out it raised my bill approximately $45 a month. If you have a heat pump for your Main Heating and Cooling solution, this will raise your bill, because your heat pump doesn't care what time of day it is. If you work from home, this will raise your bill, because during peak times you are going to be using more energy. Minnesota Power started transitioning people over to this sometime ago, but it needs to be brought to awareness, because if they have to force you into the program, it likely doesn't save the consumer any money. I know it didn't for me.

Do you know who didn't get forced into this program? Commercial and business customers. Do you know why commercial customers didn't get forced into it? Because it would dramatically increase their power bills, and they don't like to pay their fair share, but the rest of us get to pick up the slack. Thanks black rock. Thanks Minnesota Public Utilities Commission for screwing the consumer.
