Both of the two King Manor elevators are out of order.

I found this notice on the first floor, where the HRA offices are.  That is why this wall has wood paneling.

I found this notice on the ground floor.

I got my Deschutes Black Butte Porter bread.

I wish my loyal readers could eat this tasty bread.

This is a January snowstorm in Duluth, Minnesota!

“After a snowstorm is the best time to be in the woods, because all the empty beer and soda cans and candy wrappers disappear, and you don't have to try as hard to be in another time. Plus there's just something beautiful about walking on snow that nobody else has walked on.”

- Carol Rifka Brunt

Nighttime in my hometown of Duluth, Minnesota

“I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.”

- Vincent Van Gogh

I was standing on the pedestrian bridge between King Manor and the North Pointe Resource Center.  I was looking west above East Second Street.

What I found in one of the King manor elevators.

“The color brown, I realized, is anything but nondescript. It comes in as many hues as there are colors of earth, which is commonly presumed infinite.”

- Barbara Kingsolver

Whoever designed King Manor, designed it using 50 shades of brown.

What is this?

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”

- Winston Churchill, British prime minister

I found this small bulletin board on the pedestrian bridge between King Manor and the North Pointe Resource Center.

What I found posted on King Manor, first floor bulletin board for January 10, 2025.

“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”

- Oprah Winfrey, talk show host

 

I enjoy attending events at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. “

- Thomas A. Edison, inventor

 

I see a mixture of both old and new posters.

My very good meal at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth

“The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.”

- Julia Child

“Dinner is where the magic happens in the kitchen.”’

- Kris Carr

I look forward to eating this good food with good friends.

Abandoned blankets that I found on Second Street

“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.”

- Barbara Jordan

 

I have no idea who abandoned two blankets on the streets of Duluth, Minnesota.

Abandoned food that I found on First Street

“There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter.”

- Matthew McConaughey

 

I wonder how this still life litter came to be on First Street.

I got a six-pack of Deschutes Black Butte Porter to make my bread.

I have no idea how this bread will taste.

Christmas at the Depot

This is a nice Depot Christmas display.  I wonder how many more days these Christmas displays will remain here until they are taken down and then put back into the storage rooms?

I got a loaf of Leinenkugel’s ® Summer Shandy ® bread

I wish that my loyal readers could taste this delish and toothsome bread.

What I found posted on King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board for January 4, 2025.

I sure am looking forward to First Presbyterian Church events for January 2025.  The first “There is room at the table for you” meal starts at January 8, at 5:00 PM for a healthy supper, followed by bingo games.

I bought a six pack of Leinenkugel’s ® Summer Shandy ®

I don’t think that I’ve eaten bread made with traditional weiss beer.  “Weissbier is brewed with at least 50% wheat malt and fermented with the characteristic top fermenting yeast cultures.  This combination produces a complex aroma profile tasting of spices and ripe fruits.”

I got one loaf of Not Your Father's Root Beer bread.

Up until a few days ago, I had no idea that root beer bread existed.

Today, the Duluth, Minnesota office in King Manor is closed.

I wish all my readers a happy and prosperous 2025.
