This Week's Shameless Budgeteer Plug: The return of 'Tony X,' some nice snapshots of an old bridge and the Commons

Pleased to meet me, I'm "shore"....

"Greetings from the Carnegie Library, Pt. 2" -- Tony talks about his love of vintage lithographic postcards and X-comm's biggest hit, "Will to Murder."

"Ease Your Way Into Volunteerism" -- Chatting up the Commons' Nikki Townsend (a Jax transplant, no less) and DATA's Andy Holak (yes, again).

Finally, "Discover Duluth" returns with my "expose" on the Oliver Bridge, which connects Gary-New Duluth to the village of Oliver, Wis.

Next week I hope to return with a lengthy feature on "the other Duluth," (sweet) pics from the Interstate Bridge/Rice's Point and stories on the new MAC, Starfire's new business and -- if all goes according to plan -- a catching-up-with story on the mayoral race.

Cheers!
