I found a Jeep on the south side of Superior Street.

This Jeep has a dashboard filled with a collection of small plastic ducks.  I have documented another vehicle that has a collection of small ponies lined up on the other dashboard.

I found 1 more graffiti bunny on the sidewalk.

I found this graffiti while I was walking north on North Third Avenue East, between East Third Street and East Fourth Street.  I was walking to the Damiano Center to drop off 2 handouts describing First Presbyterian Church events.  I hope that the time and effort I spent will help those in need.

What I found at the Lincoln Park CAD Block Party.

As seen in past posts, here is the Community Mobil Market – Community Action Duluth van.

I found these necklaces behind a metal sign.

Here are some of the people who attended this community-building event.

I found a collection of outdoor toys for the young and young at heart.

 

After all that's said and done, I am happy that I attended the Lincoln Park CAD Block Party.

I took the Blue Line bus to attend the Lincoln Park CAD Block Party

This is the first plate of food that I ate.

This is the second plate of food that I ate.

I found a cat car headrest.

I had no idea that headrests that look like cute cats are made and then sold to people.

Cute cat in my neighborhood

I found this cute cat on the railing that is next to the Tri-Towers apartments.  The railing is on the west side of North Third Avenue East.

Dairy Queen spilled drink

I found this Dairy Queen spilled drink on the south side of Railroad Street, that’s north of the Irvin Parking Lot, also known as Interstate Parking Lot #2526.

I found many empty bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky.

I see that someone loves drinking many bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky.  But, why would they drink so much whisky beside an abandoned parking ramp on Michigan Street, next to the Downtown Transit Center (DTC)?

I found junk in the parking lot of King Manor.

Who tosses their junk onto a random parking lot in Duluth, Minnesota?

Yesterday, I saw “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu”

I found that how the story progresses from act to act is far different from “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope”.  I love how this story takes the time to focus on events of individual characters, while the lower stakes give the movie a down to earth feel.

I saw “The Sheep Detectives”

This is an entertaining movie, with a cast of talented performers taking on the roles of good country people who are humans and good country people inside sheep's bodies.

I found this tasteless graffiti on the east side of the Sellwood Building.

Why would someone write the word “Sleep” on this electrical box?

This is the Waterspot Infoshop

On most days, I walk past the Waterspot Infoshop to get onboard the buses that take me to where I need to travel to.  Sometimes, I put things in the free store, seen on the right side of the picture, for the less fortunate to better their lives.

On their front door is a calendar listing Waterspot Infoshop events open to the public.

What message I found tied on a trash can in Lake Place Park.

It is true that “Sometimes you have to pick up other people’s trash”.

I found another “I’m Homeless” sign.

People would be better off looking for honest work, rather than asking for handouts.

This is my Banana Bread.

This very tasty Banana Bread is made with Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur.

I found bread on the sidewalk

I found this bread on the northeast street corner of East First Street and North Second Avenue East.  Who leaves bread out on the sidewalk for the birds to eat?

This is Frank’s cat Miss Trouble.

The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth, Minnesota staff asked Frank for identification photos for Miss Trouble.

Here is a funny comic that I made for my friend Frank.

 FurFactoryAI is the best website for furry characters that I am aware of.

 

I would love for this artist to create my original character reference sheet when I get an idea for an original character.

I found out that the HRA North Pointe Resource Center will be closed for 1 month.

This unexpected closure came with 2 days notice that my favorite place to chat with my friends, vote for my web comic, shop at the thrift store, and attend fun events will be closing for about 1 month.

Those are the reasons why I am sad that my North Pointe Resource Center will be closed for 1 month.

These 2 informational posters are on the front doors to the North Pointe Resource Center.  The second poster is posted on the inner doors.  I am under the concrete canopy that covers the sidewalk and driveway.

I ate a free meal at the First Presbyterian Church.

This is my first picnic meal I have eaten this year.

This is my blueberry pie that I ate for my dessert.

These are the last few minutes I spent at the Wild Rose Family Expo 2026.

I found a camel who was “dancing” to the music.

I found a “your logo here” advertisement for getting money for the Wild Rose Family Expo.

I intend to attend the Wild Rose Family Expo in 2027.

I found handout maps for the DECC and for Duluth’s Commercial Historic District.

What did I find at the Wild Rose Family Expo 2026?

I found these signs pointing to family fun events at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.

I found these animals who are wondering who these funny appearing creatures these humans are.  I wonder if extraterrestrial aliens turn ordinary humans into furry humans, and then put them into extraterrestrial petting zoos.

What about a television series where extraterrestrial aliens have spent thousands of years training humans on our Earth into loving furries so much that they are now willing to become furries.

I found the pony rides that I would have loved when I was a child.

Still Life Directors Cut

This is my motion pictures, video essay about still life, the director’s cut.

Lisa Delivers Dominos – Final Version

I didn’t know that delivering pizza would be so interesting.

Bentleyville is so awesome

Bentleyville is America’s biggest free to enter, walk-through lighting display – featuring over five million lights, live costumed characters, tasty refreshments such as cookies and hot chocolate, and a bewildering variety of themed displays.  Each year, Bentleyville welcomes more than 300,000 visitors.  That is more people than Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin combined!

Band Event JPB Directors Cut

This is a short video that I made for a journalism class at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

I found this poster for Michelina's Spaghetti Dinner at Grandma's Marathon.

On my way to the Wild Rose Family Expo, I found this floor-to-ceiling poster in the pedestrian overpass over Interstate 35.

I found this poster for the Wild Rose Family Expo 2026.

I found this aesthetically-pleasing poster on the door at the Nordic Center Duluth.

Taco Saturday

These are the packaged ingredients that I will use to make my tasty tacos.

I see that the police have made another visit to King Manor.

Despite all that, I still feel safe while living in King Manor.  I took this image from the pedestrian overpass over East Second Street, looking east.

I bought a bottle of Giffard Banane du Brésil.

I bought banana liqueur for my baker to make banana bread.  The backdrop that I choose is the Chester Creek Bookstore on East Superior Street.

 

This former church once had a Sunday school building west of the church.  If I had the money, I would have bought this Sunday school building, for my new home.  This Sunday school building is now a memory.  Yet, if I could, I would build my new home at the same location.

Yesterday, before I attended Aaron Bransky’s “Duluth 101: Duluth on Rails” presentation;

I walked around the Lincoln Park Neighborhood.  I found another “Anything Helps” sign under the new Highway 53 overpass.

I then found this skull graffiti under the new Highway 53 overpass.

I also found a new section of sidewalk, connecting to a narrower, less maintained, and older section of sidewalk.

 

Rain was falling from the sky when I waited to take the bus back home.  Also, Superior Street was closed for construction.  As a result, I waited on West First Street in the rain, without a bus shelter to keep me drier and warmer.

I saw that the NPRC is closed today.

An HRA staff member told me that there were too few staff members to open the NPRC in a safe way.  Thus, I did my heart-healthy exercise walking at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

I found an abandoned sock and a stocking cap.

These 2 abandoned items were on the west side of the Bell Bank in the Temple Opera Block, Duluth’s Downtown.  I tend to find the strangest combinations of abandoned items in Downtown Duluth.

What I found in the Downtown Duluth ICO and Dairy Queen building, part 2.

In the men’s rest room, I saw that the old electric hand dryer has additional “art” on the right side.  I am reminded of this quote, “Graffiti is something written on a wall, and, of course, art can be exhibited or produced anywhere: a wall is just another venue. - Matthew Slotover.”

This is my chocolate chip banana bread.

My baker rarely swears.  Yet, she described the banana bread she baked as “damn good”.

The bear has a name!

I think these 2 words say, “I’m Grubs!”  Who would name their mascot bear Grubs?

Duluth 101: Duluth on Rails

Aaron Bransky presents a deep dive into Duluth's rail history, including information on streetcars and inclines.  I see that the social time starts at 5:30 p.m.; while the presentation starts at 6 p.m.
