Vet Care

Hello everyone! I’m looking for a good, reliable vet hospital for my cat. I used to take him to Waters Edge, but their prices have gotten unreasonable. Every visit turns into a huge bill, even for pretty basic things. Their staff also seems to care more about getting you in and out quick than actually taking the time to care.
I’m a college student and honestly can’t afford to pay crazy amounts for basic pet care. I’m looking for a vet that’s affordable and genuinely cares about animals. Any recommendations (or places to avoid) would be helpful!

Things to do as a disabled adult?

Hello! I'm a disabled adult who has trouble with mobility, such as walking for periods of time (~20 minutes before I have to sit), going up and down stairs (balance issues and fears of heights) and I was wondering what activities people would recommend in the area. I'm especially interested in DND (am a visitor of Collector's Connection and a few other shops) but am looking to expand my horizons. All ideas are welcome!

Denfeld hockey

Just read the DNT article about their coach being non-renewed and the contingent at the school board meeting. Did something happen, or is this just a “time for a change” thing?

Residential Pigeon Removal

Hi! I have a group of around 3 pigeons that have been calling my roof eaves and support beams home for the last year. The excrement is getting to an awful point, so I reached out to Stone River and I was quoted $2800 for exclusion.

Is that a typical price window? It’s a fairly small/medium sized home. I’ve heard they have some of the best service quality in town, but want to see that I’m getting a fair price.

Alternatively, beyond placing my own spikes, which has been unsuccessful, if there’s any other DIY ideas, I’m all ears!

Pokemon cards

Hey guys I’m a single mom, and my kids LOVES Pokemon but we can’t find them anywhere! My one kiddos birthday is coming up and the only thing he wants is the cards for his Pokemon themed birthday party. Does anyone know of places that sells them and when they get stocked? It seems like whenever I go to Walmart they are completely sold out of everything. I was at one point looking on facebook for them but they are incredibly expensive and definitely out of our budget. If anyone has suggestions or recommendations on places that I haven’t thought of or tips on when stores get restocked?

Help stop the city from giving up a huge amount of green space to private developers - not for affordable housing.

Help protect our land and park spaces. It it was going to affordable housing, that would be one thing. But that does not seem to be the plan.

Protect green spaces.

Duluth For All

For the middle aged dude on London and 40th with the "Deport all illegals and immigrants, I ❤️ ICE" sign. I imagine you must have noticed the regular large crowd of people with anti-ice and no kings signs in the area and wanted to form some opposition.

However you looked very sad all alone and if you need someone to talk to we can chat about why you feel threatened by immigrants and maybe expand your world view a bit?

I've always found different ethnic foods to be an amazing ice breaker to experiencing the larger world around us, I could recommend some places even here in Duluth.

To anyone else reading this, wanna flood the comment section with your favorite things about Duluth diversity?

Essentia or Aspirus for speciality docs?

I know they are good and bad for each place. But I wanna hear from real patients on who chooses which one and why. I I live about an hour away from Duluth and go to a small independent clinic for my primary care. It’s a clinic that does have to refer out for specialty doctors. I’m always ask where I want to go and I never know where to go. My insurance covers both places.

I’ve been going to Essentia… but I’m kind of starting to get a bad taste in my mouth. I get every place is understaffed for medical professionals but it’s constantly feeling like I am being blown off because I am a woman in my early 40s and I am just having a midlife crisis and it’s all just in my head. I saw a cardiologist that completely blew off the fact my primary wanted a test run. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and I just have a feeling that again I’m going to be blown off.

So, I’m debating on switching over to Aspirus. But I want to hear from other patients with real life experiences between the two.

Any new food worth checking out?

Anything new that’s worth while that I can support while I’m in town? My family and I go almost every year to get away for a few days, and we seem to always eat at the same places. I have an 8 year old, so nothing too fancy. :P. I heard there was a fairly New Mexican place with more authentic food.. looking for more!

EDIT: - thanks everyone!

Uber/Lyft drivers of Duluth, how is it in the city as a side/extra cash hustle?

Please only respond if you have recently or currently do either in the area. Wife and I have a newish EV, and thinking of signing up to do it a few hours at night and on the weekends. I know many years back a friend of mine only did weekends but would make 200-600 (after her gas and insurance). Is it still feasible up here?

Best paved trails in/around town for rollerblading?

Howdy yall!

I want to get on my blades more this summer! In the past, i've only ever roller bladed on the lakefront trail near canal park. Its not bad, but there are lot of cracks in the pavement that make it tricky at times.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for anywhere else in or around town that is ideal for roller blading?

Where can I get a helmet painted?

Hi. My son's birthday is coming up and he has an interesting request. He wants an orange motorcycle style helmet with cat ears on it. He's not a furry, or a motorcycle rider. I think it has to do with the music he's making and making videos?

Anyway. I can't find anything like that online so I'm thinking I'm going to need to buy a black one and have it painted. I'm wondering if an autobody shop or something like that would be able to paint it and if so, would that be super expensive?

I asked if I could just spray paint it but he wants it to look really nice**.**

Ideas?
