I also don't understand why so little of the weather deals with central Minnesota, when Michigan gets more coverage than central MN! As well. I can barely watch it. Doesn't anyone else notice this? Do they not correct you when you make so many verbal gaffs?

It's a radical publication that allows for self-expression and leadership at one of the most critical times in a woman's life- ages 8-14. And it's only $35 for the year! It's a steal! It's entirely written and edited by girls, for girls. Doesn't get much better than that. They have sections on poetry, social justice, and positive body image. In an age of young women being exposed to negative self-images earlier and earlier, it's heartening to know that there are still some safe outposts for girls.

Printed weekly, they call themselves "alternative" and are the local source for music and events and restaurants in the Duluth area. This week, the articles included stories about Wisconsin ranking as the worst state for racial equality in education, a story about the Senate gun control proposals, and a historical story about the Solidarity movement in Poland. Interesting reading and really neat to see these sorts of stories that are either being ignored by other "mainstream" news outlets or they're just not being covered with the local slant they need. And yes, pages about concerts and music events and other goings on that local (Duluthians? Duluthers? Duluthites?) will care about. Even not being from around here, I enjoyed the read!
