I found another Anime Axcess poster.


The start of finals week is a herald that most student clubs have concluded for spring semester at UMD Duluth.  Most UMD student clubs will remain dormant until the start of fall semester.

 

Many years ago, another UMD student club member once told our Anime group, “The University of Minnesota anime club in the Twin Cities can get about 300 people attending their meetings.  However, our Anime club is lucky to get 20 people attending our meetings.”  I see that Duluth student clubs always appear to have much fewer members than the same type of clubs that exist in the Twin Cities.


I understand why some frustrated UMD students call UMD Duluth “Apathy University”.


I found a collection of things that has become litter.


This certainly is a diverse gathering of objects.


I found a discarded tool in the King Manor parking lot.


Who discards a still in good working order tool in a parking lot?  Why not donate this tool to the free store inside the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center?


On East Superior Street, I found a poster for Celobandz - Break the Curse.


This poster even has a link to the band’s web site, where you can listen to samples of their music.


I found power line pole graffiti.


This graffiti is located on a power line pole next to the beautiful First Presbyterian Church of Duluth.


I found an abandoned bag at a DTA bus stop.


This modern bus stop is located at the intersection of East Superior Street and North Thirteenth Avenue East.
