New Public Art: Meet Me on Main

The City of Duluth is excited to introduce the newest public art to enhance our art-loving community! Located on the back windows of the Nacho Daddy building, the Meet Me on Main mural allows you to take a (colorful) step back into old Duluth.

Brenda Ehly is the talented artist behind this piece. When asked to describe her newest mural, Ehly said โ€œWhen I first moved to Duluth in 1984, the city seal displayed the motto, โ€˜Pride in Old and Newโ€™. ย I think that spirit is alive and well in Duluth, and I hope my painting, Meet Me on Main, reflects that value. ย The location of this mural installation is actually the same one as the scene depicted. ย The bank is currently the site of The Chocolaterie, and where Parsons Dry Goods once stood, you can now find Good Word Brewing. ย The city requested a colorful and whimsical interpretation of a historic photograph, and I am honored to have been included in this project.โ€

January’s Duluth Dog of the Month: Georiga

Can we hear a round of a-paws for Januaryโ€™s dog of the month: Georgia!
After a Georgia win last night, we could not have asked for a better randomly selected winner from the officeโ€™s Alexa!
Hereโ€™s what Georgiaโ€™s Mom has to has about this good girl: โ€œGeorgia is our ‘foster fail’ from Georgia English Bulldog Rescue! We have been fostering with the rescue for several years and find the work meaningful and rewarding. Georgia, however, was the first foster that we ‘failed’ and wanted to KEEP! She was a perfect fit from the start. She loves sleeping, sunbathing, playing tug-of-war with her toy, destroying dog beds, and playing with our daughter, who is crazy about her. Georgia also has a bulldog brother, Elliot, from the same rescue.โ€
For her dedication to helping keep our waterways clean and local ecosystems intact, Tiger Tails Animal Hospital has partnered with us to offer a great prize pack to our Dog of the Month.
Take the pledge and your pup (or pups) may just be featured as our next Dog of the Month!
