Under another forum the comment of missing Lucca's Store came up and I thought what a great topic to discuss. I REALLY miss the small grocery with a meat counter. At one time there was Lucca's, Hay's, Rauschers, and Harry Ericksons just to name a few. If I go out of town I try to stop at a meat market. The range still has a few that are wonderful. They have great homemade items and great olive oil in wonderful fancy bottles. This topic brings to mind a time when we had stores at the mall and shops downtown. What do you miss?

If the KEDA was located in another country they maybe would have an excuse for not checking on the progress of the fish company. When the new fisheries started with the support of this organization the fish were supposed to come from the Thunderbay area. I agree with the Wagners on the change of plans which now gives the location of the fish supply to be Rainy Lake. This organization has not followed up on the progress of this company at all.

I hope the City, Chamber, County, and other citizen groups have been giving this looming potential challenge some serious discussion.

North Central MN probably has some advantages that the town in this article does not have.

My husband and I are relocating back to this area and are interested in contact from anyone willing to explore a rent to own or contract for deed situation. We would like to live within 30 miles of the Falls and the home needs to be less than $80,000. We need 3 bedrooms. We have been on a contract for deed for five years now and can provide a reference if needed.
We are both employed here and are driving back and forth from the Iron Range weekly. You might just be the person/s with the property we are looking for!

It feels like summer and summer often brings a chance to lull by the lake and dive into a good book.

I recently finished two fun, quick summer reads: "Fifth Horseman" and "Sixth Target." They are a part of Jame Patterson's Women's Murder Club novels and I am hoping to get my hands on the next in line, "Seventh Heaven."

Anybody else suggest some good summer reads?
