Gardenia & Garlic: the August edition

Gardenia to everyone planning National Night Out parties and all who attend.

Gardenia to Neighborhood Youth Services for the truly amazing work they do with ”our” youth.

Garlic to city councilors’ focus on herb alternatives. That’s taking away from the real problems...our streets are horrible, ISD 709 is doing a number on the citizens, and the health care liability is still grossly underfunded.

Gardenia to all the volunteers devoting time to keep our city beautifide.

Gardenia to neighborhood clean ups.

Garlic to the 4th fest organizers refusing filled water bottles to be brought into our public Bayfront Park.

Garlic to disrespectful neighbors, the noise and litter.

Gardenia to those who clean up the streets.

Gardenia to all who run for office and to all who exercise their right to vote in the August 10 Primary.

Gardenia to summer in Duluth, what a great place to live.
