Citizens are currently preventing the Hermantown city council meeting, where they are scheduled to vote on the permits and the development agreement, from beginning. The city did not let everyone sign up to speak, and we are showing them we won't let this happen tonight. Tomorrow there is a court hearing where an injunction could be issued. Come down to 5105 Maple Grove Rd to hold space and shut this down! We will be here all night!

After hundreds of people showed up today at Hermantown City Council before a vote on the permits for the proposed data center, some were turned away from the building or not allowed to speak despite waiting hours for some. People began loudly asking to be allowed to speak and the City Council members did not come out and start their meeting or address the crowd's concerns, leaving a handful of police officers alone with the frustrated crowd. The police were respectful and handled the situation professionally despite apparently being abandoned by Hermantown leadership during this time. After almost two hours, the announcement was made that the meeting was adjourned and would be rescheduled to tomorrow, Tuesday, October 27th at 7:30. People reported that they didn't state whether they meant a.m. or p.m., but it is assumed that they meant p.m. The time of the meeting is not listed on their website as of the time of this positing.

Given that the Hermantown City Council didn't allow people enough time to sign up to speak or provide adequate space for all who wanted to attend, it is advised you come as early possible in order to get in line to speak. This project stands to not only destroy Adolph, but drastically reduce the quality of life for everyone and everything in this region. Google&friends aren't giving up and neither should you!
Whose town? Our town!

Has anyone received the $10,000 sign on bonus but left before your two years was up? Did you end up having to repay it? Did they pro-rate it or create a payment plan? Unfortunately I didn't save mine and used it towards medical bills at Aspirus. This job has made me want to quit nursing completely, I've been so depressed and feeling hopeless.

As the title says. Never had a fireplace (wood burning) before and wondering if anyone has a preferred company for getting their yearly inspection done. I tried searching previous Reddit posts but none were inspection specific.

Not necessarily looking for the cheapest service - just best value/most trustworthy.

This is kind of random, but I have to get in 4 hours of volunteering for a class. I’m curious if anyone knows of anything I can do either this Thursday or Friday. I don’t currently have my car so preferably a place with decent bus access. I’d really appreciate any suggestions even though this is a super short notice question.

I’m am not an experienced camper but I would like to bring my 11 year old son camping. We have a nice tent and quality sleeping bags. Are there any places close to Duluth that are easy to access for camp sites? Looking for top suggestions. Any other camping advice is welcome

Looking for a new stylist who does online appointment booking. I've been going to Sisu for a long time and love the vibe, but I want to be able to book online and often when I think to call, they're not open.

Any recs? I have pretty easy hair, don't need any specialized work. I'm also pretty basic so I feel like some of the trendier spots might not be my cup of tea. Just regular haircuts and a partial foil once in a while when I want to splurge. Eyebrow waxing availability is a plus.

Will be traveling to Duluth in a couple weeks will he hitting up Sam's Club, does anyone know if they have ghost energy in the large packs?

I’m wondering people’s thoughts on if West Duluth could support a planet fitness? Maybe in the old Kmart location? I don’t have the funds for this but maybe someone who sees this might :)

Update: A down vote for being pro-active? And why wait until July when the event is in July? Does anyone know of how 2026 was for food? Thank you! Or maybe I am wasting my time and should just go elsewhere! :P

Why bother listing the food vendors if they are only going to list them in July, when the event is July 4th? Seriously? Are they that slow? Wow! And they want to ban all outside food on top of it all! And then, on a case by case basis, maybe, if you got the right letterhead and right food allergies, they'll make an exception?

I was wondering if the Fourth Fest has any Gluten free, dairy free options that are also peanut, tree nut, cinnamon free but is also real food? I mean hamburger, hot dogs, brats as opposed to sugar me this and sugar me that? Chicken and Turkey don't count for me, as I react to that too, but my sister can eat it if its gluten free and dairy free at least. I don't react to egg anymore, just everything else poultry. ROFL

I might be watching the fireworks from the hotel instead, but only because it is less headache. Technically, I also react to legumes and lentils, but amount matters. I'm hoping that if I keep my bucket low, I'll tolerate the guar gum or xanthum gum that the bun will have, because my reactions are only itchiness.

Thanks!
