Wakeup!, a MLK cartoon by Donny Frank Morris
Greetings!
Have you picked up your copy of the January Hillsider? We have three pieces of local artwork, including a cartoon by Donny Frank Morris. Allegra Henderson wrote an article about a new program called Parents And Students Succeeding which focuses on encouraging parents to get involved with their children's education.
Mayor Don Ness in a Hillsider T-shirt. Phone 728-1031 to buy a T-shirt.
Ever wonder how DEDA (Duluth Economic Development Authority) works? Zach Hammer does a good job of explaining how some Duluth housing and jobs were created with this program.
Rolf Flaig, a local businessman, wrote a column about his concern over a big box pharmacy store's plan to purchase an entire block and wipe out a strip mall of locally owned businesses.
And don't miss our columnists. Each has a finger on the pulse of our community.
