Best Bets: Paranormal Cirque at Miller Hill Mall

1 week ago | duluthnewstribune.com | Jay Gabler

DULUTH — With Memorial Day behind us, summer has officially landed in Duluth. Time to pitch a tent! A news release announcing Paranormal Cirque's impending arrival in Duluth calls it "a very unique show." That's notwithstanding the fact that when the traveling circus opens its tent flaps here on Friday, May 30, there will also be a Paranormal Cirque II playing in Yakima, Washington; a Paranormal Cirque III in Hanover, Maryland; and a Paranormal Cirque IV in Canada.

DULUTH — In retrospect, it might seem inevitable that Alan Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles would one day collaborate at album length. Sparhawk, though, doesn't do "inevitable.""Always making yourself feel a little uncomfortable with the forward step you’re taking is the only way to go,” Sparhawk said in a statement accompanying his latest release.

DULUTH — According to the timer, it took Trevor Ewert about two minutes of thinking time to achieve checkmate. It took me about five and a half minutes to be checkmated. Call it delaying the inevitable. "I always appreciate a game with anyone," said Ewert, who humored me when I asked to play one of the Twin Ports Chess Club organizers. We were sitting at Wussow's Concert Cafe on April 21, during the club's weekly meetup.

BRIMSON, Minn. — At times, it felt like just another day at Hugo’s Bar. Locals sat at the bar and bantered, talking about their dogs and buying each other drinks. “I’ll mind my own beeswax,” said one patron. “That’ll be a first!” said another, to general laughter. Circumstances in Brimson, however, were far from ordinary Tuesday. Laughter could suddenly give way to tears, as when a woman evacuated from her nearby home came in and admitted she didn’t know where else to go.

DULUTH — Bob Boone thinks there are too many nonprofits in this country. "Nonprofits do a lot of good, but I don't think they should be as prevalent as they are," said Boone. "If a nonprofit was going to build this theater, this one for sure never would have been done. Probably that one wouldn't have been, either." "This one" was the Alhambra Theatre, a cozy storefront space adjacent to "that one": the West Theatre, which Boone opened in 2019.

3 weeks ago | duluthnewstribune.com | Jay Gabler

DULUTH — "Preservation" is a theme of this week's top events, from preserving history to preserving life. There's bound to be a special energy surrounding this year's Duluth Dylan Fest, with the Oscar-nominated biopic "A Complete Unknown" having recently introduced the Duluth-born music icon to a new generation. This year, Bob gets two birthday parties (neither of which he will attend): in front of each of his two Northland childhood homes.
