I’ve lived here in Duluth about 35 years, and I’ve never been so disgusted with this city!
I retired March 31 after 32½ years working downtown, where my colleagues and I were constantly hassled and at times threatened by people using our infrastructure and buildings as shelter, especially during the winter.
How about our city leaders figure this out — and let the appropriate parties in Washington, D.C., tackle nuclear war (“Duluth City Council divided on stand against nuclear weapons,” March 14). Fixing the streets would be acceptable as well. I could go on and on. I’ll leave it at that for now.
Revitalizing downtown means many things. To me, it would mean not dodging potholes and feeling safe while there.
