xp YES, I had one on Saturday night! Their menu is kind of awesome in its descriptions of the food, i.e. the ham sandwich: "A good choice if you like ham."

are you there? it seems like it'd be icy and dismal right now!
I want to go back there some day. I have only been once.

^^^for real. i ~thought~ it might be terrible to be here in the winter, but it's much better than the icy and dismal you get down in the cities. at least here there's the lake and the hill and the trees and the giant industrial structures to add some flavor.

dude I am totally planning a Day of Shooting here. Found a spot thats perfect---giant structures (and ships!) that's slightly overgrown, totally empty. Was gonna go today but it's overcast and would like to catch it in strong directional light.

sounds great! don't underestimate overcast days - if the light is still bright, it's like a giant softbox and makes everything kind of 'glow'

Two things I remember about Duluth:
1. A terrible Chinese restaurant that was run by non-Chinese people who had, like, backpacked in China in the 60s or something.
2. They told me if I fell into Lake Superior I'd be dead in five minutes.

kinda don't know what to think of this story
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2012/02/27/grand-marais-older-men-pursuing-teen-girls/
the courthouse shooting that prodded (conservative) lawmakers into changing gun laws in courthouses stemmed from a sex crime case with its own p bizarre story
― goole, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
"Back in them days, it was acceptable," said Perry Wilson, who is quick to defend his friend Schlienz. "That's the way it was — 16-, 17-year-old girls; that was their boyfriends back then was a 25-year-old guy."
In Grand Marais, most people know Wilson by his nickname, "Proof," short for "Hundred Proof.""In this town all you need to pick up a 16-year-old high school girl is a nice-looking truck or a nice car."- Perry Wilson
Wilson, now 53, arrives at a local cafe unshaven, in sweatpants and a jacket. Over coffee, he said that in his 20s he could have been jailed for his own exploits with teenage girls, during what he calls his "heyday." But he stops short of admitting to criminal sexual conduct.
Wilson also is adamant that he and other adult men did not pursue the girls. He said the girls pursued them.
"That's the way it's always been since man was born. The younger girls chase the older guys. Everybody thinks it's the older guys chasing younger girls, [but] that's wrong," he said. "It ain't that way. In this town, all you need to pick up a 16-year-old high school girl is a nice-looking truck or a nice car."

Wait, that is newsworthy? I thought that was somewhat common in every small Midwestern town ever. Meaning the 25 year old dude that can't get over his glory days and still dates the high school girls mostly because thats his peer group. I mean, definitely creepy and awful, but not particularly earth-shattering is it?
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 27 February 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
Okay wait, I see now that this particular case was a dude even older than that and not quite the scenario referenced at the start of the article.

― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 27 February 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
it's newsworthy because the courthouse shooting by the man convicted was a huge deal
― goole, Monday, 27 February 2012 20:32 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I should have withheld comment until I read the whole article. My first post was just after reading the headline and intro paragraph, which I think kinda sells the whole story a little short.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 27 February 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, this:
In Grand Marais, pattern emerges of older men pursuing teen girls
GRAND MARAIS, Minn. — Beth Kennedy first heard the stories 34 years ago.
Not long after she moved to Grand Marais with her husband and 11-year-old daughter, people in the community told her that older men were pursuing and having sex with high school girls.
"We started hearing about these 20-, 25-, 30-year-old men who were constantly at football games, around the teenage girls, and who somehow believed that it was a great thing to be sleeping with virgins," she said. "And I was aghast."
... doesn't really clue you in to the real story here.
