I found another abandoned railroad spur


I found this track on the north side of the intersection of South Twenty-fourth Avenue West and West Michigan Street Duluth, Minnesota.


Good vibes only!


I found this graffiti inside a Duluth skywalk elevator.  We all need more good vibes in our busy lives.


Last Thursday, I attended the Lincoln Park Farmers Market


This effective advertisement tells passersby what this event is.

Central Hillside Farmers Market


Today, I attended the Central Hillside Farmers Market.



I love buying my green groceries at this event held every Tuesday from 2 pm to 5 pm.


I saw Transformers One


I loved this movie, as it is the best Transformers movie that I have ever seen!

I found a folding shopping cart


I found this cart on the stairway that is next to Sister Cities Park.  The strong smell of burnt whatever it was, was still in the air above this shopping cart.  I don’t know whom the cart belonged to and what was in it.  That fire scorched the walls of the stairway.


Founders Brewing Company, Rübaeus Raspberry Ale


This Raspberry Ale should make for a very tasty loaf of bread.

Bike lane


I found this bike lane on East Third Street.  However, by putting two lines of paint and a few signs on an existing street is cheap and lazy.  Instead, the Minnesota Department of Transportation highway engineers could have created a protected bike lane, which is separated between the moving motor vehicle traffic and the bike lane.


I found the iconic Champ the Bulldog mascot


While returning from the Chester Bowl Fall Fest 2024, I found this bronze sculpture of Champ the Bulldog.  It is the mascot of the University of Minnesota Duluth.  Created by sculptor Nick Legeros, this sculpture was put into place next to the walkway in front of the Darland Administration Building.


“Love yourself” graffiti


I found this simple and uplifting graffiti, on a low wall located at the west side of North Second Avenue East, between East Superior Street and East First Street.

I attended the Chester Bowl Fall Fest 2024, The End


This is the onion rosemary bread, which reminds me of Thanksgiving turkey stuffing, which I bought at the Chester Bowl Fall Fest 2024.  Are you already looking forward to your appetizing 2024 Thanksgiving meal?


I attended the Chester Bowl Fall Fest 2024, Part1

 


A heavy rainstorm lasted about fifteen minutes while I was on the bus from the UMD parking lot B to Chester Bowl.  The bus drive looped round Chest Bowl until the rail stopped.  This puddle was created from that rainstorm.



I found the Duluth Public Library bus parked here, supporting their booth advertising the many ways the library supports the public.  The rainclouds have already moved east, with blue skies and sunshine for the fortunate people attending this event.


Yesterday, I voted


I felt good voting for a two person ticket that will assist in getting our Northern Lights Express built.

This is all three greens in my favorite kitchen bowl.



My healthy and yummy salad is made with Community Action Duluth food, covered in Essential Everyday ® Caesar Dressing, and topped with Doritos ® Minis Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips.


My Community Action Duluth food


Yesterday, I attended the Lincoln Park Farmers Market and bought these two packages of healthy food.  In my next post, I’ll show you how I make this food into healthy salads.

A Duluth squirrel, Part 2


After buying my food at the Central Hillside farmer’s market, I found the furry skin remains of the unnamed Duluth squirrel.  I have never seen the remains of a dead animal, where the bones and internal organs have disappeared, while the skin and fur remain.


I attended the Central Hillside farmer’s market.


There are still a few weeks remaining for those who want buy farm fresh food to eat.

My Winehaven Winery Pumpkin Wine bread


I wish my readers could taste my Winehaven Winery Pumpkin Wine bread!


Light reflected off the Holiday Center


This building is located on the north side of West Superior Street, Duluth, Minnesota.


I attended the PBS North Celebrates 60 Years at Chester Bowl Park, The End


While returning to my King Manor apartment, I saw this cute “Stop the fuss, ride the bus” sticker at the University of Minnesota, Duluth bus stop.


I attended the PBS North Celebrates 60 Years at Chester Bowl Park, Part 5


While I ate my sandwich, I listened to a live music performance from Grammy Award winners The Okee Dokee Brothers.


I attended the PBS North Celebrates 60 Years at Chester Bowl Park, Part 4


There were craft booths, featuring many artists and their crafts featured in the show Making It Up NorthAdam Swanson Art one sells paintings.



Chris Monroe creates books for children.


I attended the PBS North Celebrates 60 Years at Chester Bowl Park, Part 3


I attended this event as PBS North is a big part of my life through cultural, educational, and entertainment mind expansion.

I attended the PBS North Celebrates 60 Years at Chester Bowl Park


This happy event happened on Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

 

An upcoming event that I’d love to attend is the Chester Bowl Park Fall Fest.


Tracey our Service Coordinator


Tracey is a nice person that listens to me and has assisted me several times to solve my trifling problems.


A Duluth squirrel


Why did it die on top of a street storm drain cover?  How soon will this squirrel’s intact body become a meal for a cat, dog, or city fox?

 

I found this squirrel at the south side of the intersection of East Second Street and North Third Avenue East.  I seem I have luck in finding dead urban animals near my King Manor apartment building.

The other side of the red door


I took the image of Locomotive Number 14 from behind the access door to the Northern Pacific Wedge Snowplow NPWS Number 19.


Lake Superior Railroad Museum, Duluth and Northern Minnesota Number 14


Years ago, while I was standing in the snowplow, looking out a round back window; I saw that this window framed the round front of Locomotive Number 14.

What is posted on King Manor, fourth floor bulletin board for September 9, 2024?


I find it interesting how these posters come and go; with most residents paying these posters little to no attention.


When Duluth Transit Authority buses become confessionals


While riding Duluth Transit Authority buses, I’ve heard men talking to their friends:

A 30-something man talking about having unprotected vaginal sex with a high school girl.

I heard another man who said that he was so drunk and stoned, that the police found him naked while running up and down on a busy city avenue.

A third man whose friends gave him a date rape drug in his drink in a restaurant, only to wake up in an alley naked with only his wallet and his home keys; and then had to walk three miles to his apartment.

Another man who stole several sheets of pharmacy prescription forms from his doctor’s office, illegally wrote out prescriptions, and then how he spent days being high on drugs.

The last man said he was moving out of the city, to get away from passive-aggressive behavior from those citizens around him.


This is my Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin Ale bread!


If you love pumpkin bread, you will love bread made with Pumpkin Ale!

This week, on Thursday, I attended the Lincoln Park Farmers Market


I found these signs on West Third Street.



I found this list of Community Action supporting sponsors.


This is an example of my fine-artsy art.


These are three slices of my apple & peach bread, topped with Move Over Butter ® and Blackburn's Peach Preserves.


My shadow on the King Manor wall


I found this wall on the King Manor front door entrance pedestrian bridge.
