This Week's (Belated) Shameless Budgeteer Plug: The 'other' Duluth, Interstate Bridge pics, the return of the MAC and 'Growing Up Duluth'

Sorry for the delay. Here's this week's winning numbers:

"That Other Duluth: Georgia's 'Tree City' Has a Lot in Common with its Northland Namesake" -- Wow, what a headline! ... Eh? (In all serious, though, a special thanks to everyone in Duluth, Ga., for making this story possible.)

"Discover Duluth: Interstate Bridge" -- Duluth is a (very) cool city indeed.* Although it's now just a fishing pier, the old Duluth-Superior bridge is ideal for amateur shutterbugs such as myself.

"Zeppa Foundation Brings MAC Back"
-- Wow, what a great year for the local scene: The music has never sounded better and the Music and Arts Collective will most likely be back by the end of the year.

"'Growing Up Duluth' Project Seeks Local Submissions" -- Did you spend any of your formative years teetotaling in the Zenith City? Do you know how to operate a word processor? Me neither ... how about a keyboard and Microsoft Word? Yay, congrats; this is the project for you.

*DULUTH IN THE MEDIA ALERT: Have you seen "The Comedians of Comedy: The Movie" yet? Great stuff (on par with "Let America Laugh," in fact), but what really got my attention was comedian Maria Bamford -- a Marshall School grad (!) -- sporting one of Bullseye's "Duluth is a Cool City" T-shirts in a few pivotal scenes.
