https://nickupnorthblog.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/mark-vs-the-broom-closet-monster
Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. Mark vs. the Broom Closet Monster. December 8, 2016. Imagine an out-of-order telephone booth planted between your refrigerator and dining room table. Mark launches an assault on the Broom Closet Monster. That’s the oversized broom closet in the NickMoore Hotel kitchen. It had to go. Yes, it was time for something new. I assembled a black metal, five-shelf storage unit purchased at the recently opened Duluth Fleet Farm. Stood it up on the antique linoleum a...

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. Chopping ice with a baseball bat. January 19, 2017. At first I thought the woman on the roof was using her baseball bat as a cane. Then she started pounding. She pounded on the front porch roof with the baseball bat like she was trying to crush an army of ants. Boom! You could hear the ongoing battle down the hill and across … More Chopping ice with a baseball bat. Chopping ice with a baseball bat. Photo closet clean up: 2016. January 10, 2017. The NickMoore H...

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. If the Internet had a nose. June 4, 2016. The Internet can see. It can talk. It can hear. It can sing. But the Internet can’t smell. Depending on your point of view, the Internet has either unmercifully ruined or vastly improved the way we see photographs, movies and world news. In the old days, we needed to use paper, chemicals and a one-hour … More If the Internet had a nose. If the Internet had a nose. It’s my blog. An Old Guy Speaks. Outdoors with Sam Cook.

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. January 26, 2017. Nooks and crannies of a city always look better at night. Somewhere in the twisted industrial wreckage of the Twin Ports I snapped this picture late into a Saturday night. But which city? As I stood in the middle of the street taking this picture, a man came out of the building. … More Minnesota or Wisconsin? Chopping ice with a baseball bat. January 19, 2017.

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. The marble and the manhole cover. September 29, 2016. Manhole covers don’t belong in a river bottom. Marbles don’t belong on a beach. But that’s where you find such things in Duluth. There are all kinds of secret nooks and crannies in this city and most of them involve water. Jen and I like to explore these places whenever time and weather allows us. … More The marble and the manhole cover. The marble and the manhole cover. September 15, 2016. An Old Guy Speaks.

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. Victoria’s Secret. A knife. A Merry Christmas. December 27, 2016. I walked into the small but jam-packed downtown Duluth kitchen supply store looking for a gift. It was five days before Christmas. “What can we help you with today? 8221; asked the lady behind the counter. A man stood to her left. There was no one else in the store. “Well, my wife wants a really … More Victoria’s Secret. A knife. A Merry Christmas. Feeding the eagles on Hawk Ridge. December 8, 2...

Dispatches from the shores of Lake Superior. Forget the Nobel Prize ceremony, this place is more important. December 10, 2016. December 11, 2016. The grave site of Bob Dylan’s parents Beatrice and Abram Zimmerman. I didn’t get an invitation to the Nobel Prize award ceremony for Bob Dylan in Sweden today. Instead, I visited a memorial to the most important people in his life: His parents. The same place where I live. CD into the player and drove 15 minutes to Tifereth Israel Cemetery.
